More A-Rod

Newsday, this time:

Even the solo homer he hit in the seventh inning last night was consistent for him. It was too little too late, and it was his first RBI.

I knew -- knew knew knew -- someone would spin the home run like this. Fantastic.

Here's my handy Why This A-Rod Home Run Doesn't Count Chart:

Innings 1-3: Too early, no pressure
Innings 4-6: Meaningless middle innings, no pressure
Innings 7-9, team behind: Too little too late, no pressure
Innings 7-9, team ahead: Piling it on, no pressure

Keep this handy for next year, Chicago Cub fans!
