Interesting headline by Joel Sherman of the New York Post:
A-Rod HRs help, hurt Yankees
I may be wrong, but I'm prepared to say that all of A-Rod's home runs help the Yankees. This headline should read:
A-Rod HRs help Yankees, because they're home runs, which instantly credit one's team with runs, or "points," thus improving one's chance of victory
Actually, Sherman isn't blind to the rules of baseball; he's writing about the home run bonuses written into Rodriguez's contract, which will impede the Yankees' efforts to get under the $189 luxury cap in 2014.
Regardless: the Yankees want A-Rod to hit home runs. Because, like, he's already being paid buckets of money to do just that.
