A-Rod, Roger Clemens, Javy Vazquez, and the latest in Yankeeland

Now that the Yankees have gone 13-0 without Alex Rodriguez this year, are we going to hear about how the Yankees really don’t need him on the team? Just wondering.

Two summers ago, I had a similar calf injury to A-Rod’s, so I know what he’s feeling. Not fun!

I’ve been busy over the past few days with real-life obligations, so I haven’t had much time to squawk. But I did watch some of the games this weekend. I feel sorry for Javier Vazquez — he’s been upfront about his velocity being down, but nobody in Yankeeland seems to be paying attention. Maybe now that Ivan Nova’s up in the majors, the Yanks can skip a Javy start, and see what the heck is wrong with him.

Oh, and there’s the whole Roger Clemens indictment. I know I probably shouldn’t revel in other’s misfortunes, but I can’t help but snicker over him. He thought he was so clever in demanding to squawk before Congress and spin his phony tale. So much for that! The only thing that would have made his indictment more entertaining is if Suzyn Waldman had announced the charges against him!

Speaking of reveling in other’s misfortunes, how about that whole Jay Mariotti story?

Anyhow, hopefully this week I’ll get to write more. And maybe Squawker Jon will recover soon from the loss of Rod Barajas. But what do our readers think of what’s been going on in Yankeeland?
