A-Rod has gone too far now, as he is looking to sue the Yankees. I know many want this to go away, but I don't think it will anytime soon. All I can say is: Welcome to the circus! Here's a quote from Joe Garagiola that sums up the Yankees circus pretty good: "Baseball is drama with an endless run and everchanging the cast." Once again, the Bronx is burning. Until then see ya at Yankee Stadium. Sent from my BlackBerry® by Boost Mobile

Here's a look at the latest news and transactions: Mets -- 3B David Wright was placed on the 15-day DL. Yankees -- Assigned C Gary Sanchez and RHP Diego Moreno from Tampa (FSL) to Trenton (EL), C Jeff Farnham from Trenton to Tampa, and LHP Cesar Cabral from Tampa to Scranton/Wilkes -Barre (International League). Also, it looks like it will be announced soon what's going on with A-Rod. I'm not going to speculate on this issue. On this date August 4, 2010, how ironic, A-Rod hit his 600th home run and became the youngest player to hit this milestone. Until then, see ya at the park. Sent from my BlackBerry® by Boost Mobile
