A-Rod going to DL, Clemens' controversy too much drama for Yankees

Leave to the Yankees to generate more drama and turmoil for baseball. Living up to their legacy every season is a daunting challenge. Finally as a franchise they know what's it like to struggle and deal with injuries and outside distractions. I actually think it's a shame A- Rod went on 15-day DL with strained right quadriceps. The star shortstop is off to another great start. The Yankees are contending with the controversies surrounding Roger Clemens. I don't think the 14-14 record is the biggest concern yet George Steinbreiner has got to worry about his star power, where is it coming from now?

I think the Yankees are like a extended dysfunctional family. There is always complaining, arguing, and fighting (sometimes over money). I can see why the fan act the way they do, one actually falling from the upper deck trying to catch a foul ball. Sometimes a franchise needs a fresh approach when things get out of control. For New York they'll find a way to win when the 'new players' arrive mid-season and the revenue and contracts are shelled out like it's gasoline from an oil company. Not to worry Yankee fans, A-Rod will be back to don the uni and popular universal logo while walloping homeruns and having to be cope with another team slump.
