Still More A-Rod

Fox Sports joins the chorus:

It was what it was, an improbable coda to Torre's reign: Derek Jeter grounding into an inning-ending double play with runners on first and third, and A-Rod knocking the meaningless solo homer an inning later.

Yep, meaningless. Because if Posada's towering shot in the ninth drifts fair, you certainly wouldn't care if it were a 1-run or a 2-run ballgame. In fact, I think in the official record books we'll see this one amended to 6-3. A-Rod home runs just don't count. Can't people understand this?
