The World Series was kind of a yawner, wasn’t it?

A-Rod and Scott Boras tried to be the news Sunday night when they announced the superstar would opt out of his contract. The MLB got mad and Boras apologized.

So where does that leave A-Rod?

Well, his new contract will probably be as big as his old one — if someone will pay that much. The Angels seem like a top contender for Rodriguez, seeing as they’re a big market, AL team with the bankroll to support him.

Plus they could use a power hitting third baseman.

Frankly, I’m not all that interested in where A-Rod ends up. I’m more interested in the dumb articles that will soon be coming about his horrible tenure in New York.

On to Girardi. I could have told you after Joe applied for the Orioles’ open spot and then declined their offer that he was waiting for the Yankees’ spot to open up.

I wish Girardi all the luck, but he’s going to get the blame when the Yanks aren’t as good without A-Rod. And all the fans that booed him will have a lot to own up to.

Just, out.

I don’t have time for a full post tonight, but I wanted to pass along this quick thought:

Anyone who thinks Alex Rodriguez doesn’t deserve the AL MVP Award either a) hasn’t been watching baseball this season or b) really hates the Yankees.

I admittedly fall into category B, but, this is just sick.

Just, out.

All I can say is that I’m glad the home run chases are over.

Let’s get The Jerk’s one more homer out of the way and put this all behind us. A-Rod’s story would have been nicer if he wasn’t a Yankee.

So, now that we’ve moved on from the homers, how about celebrating a milestone much more worthy of our praise?

Tom Glavine will look for his 300th career victory tonight against the Cubs. The 41-year-old lefty is having arguably the worst season of his career (except for his first full season, when he went 7-17 with a 4.567 ERA). But, perhaps after tonight, that won’t matter.

Few pitchers have enjoyed the consistency Glavine has showcased throughout his career. The definition of a finesse pitcher, Glavine has never reached the 200 K plateau in a season. He was often compared to his teammate Greg Maddux, but let’s face it, Maddux is light years ahead of Glavine in just about every way.

A quick blog intermission: What would Maddux’s ERA be if he hadn’t posted ERAs of 4.03, 4.24, 4.20 the last three years? Not to mention the 4.204 he has right now. Well, the answer to that is: 2.89. With them it’s 3.10. Wow.

Anyway, it doesn’t really seem fair to compare Glavine to Maddux. Maddux was at worst the second best pitcher of his generation. Maybe the best. That’s an argument for another day.

Glavine has been in a class all by himself, though. I have a feeling that Cubs fans will give Glavine the utmost respect tonight should he leave the game with the lead and again if he wins it.

But then again, they are Cubs fans. And they have their own issues to deal with.

But, if you care to be rational tonight, reflect on Glavine’s career and appreciate the good things he has done for the game. And more importantly for now, the good way he has done them.

Just, out.
