NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez's first hit at the new Yankee Stadium was a doozy.
Rodriguez belted a game-ending, two-run homer in the 11th inning to give New York a 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.

I hear he;s batting .125 now.
Well, 25 teams finish behind us. I have a felling this year will be different. The bullpen is better than any of the teasms the mets have faced.
Somewhere in ny attick there is a book written by a NY Daily News reporter on the history of the Yankees. They have always bought the best teams. In fact, when Mr. Rupert owned them the Kansas City team was like their farn club according to the book.
It is a travesty what the team has done to salaries in the last 10 years. I do like the Mets though, David Wright impresses me every time I see him play and Reyes runs like lightning.
Not bad for a sub-.500 team. Before you know it they may pull a few games ahead of the Orioles.
Go Jays!
It goes back way longer than ten years. I just hasn’t worked for them for the past 5. But they have skewed the market way out of whack.
And that new stadium the taxpayers paid for is doint them no good.
Might want to up the dose on the chill pill. the guy with the “Jesus Christ -Light of the World” tagline just told other guy to S T F U.
No his post says shut up. Please at least read the post.
Oh great now the Yanks will get a bailout.
They already did. Had to ask NYC for more money to finish. Now they ask so much money for tickets they can’t fill it.
Who cares about the Skankees. They currently have the worst team ERA in the AL. If they win this year, the accomplishment will be tainted due to the presence of
A-Roid and drunks like Chamberlain. I don’t like any teams east of the Mississippi River, but am pulling for the Red Sox to finish higher in the standings than the Skankees.
A-Roid knocks a ba-ba-looey !!!!! :)
Way to go Yanks!Just beat those Boston Red Sox socialists partly owned by the ugh! New York Times.
I apologize I did not see # 19 was removed.
Post #19 should have been enshrined as an all-time classic.
Indeed. If there is a hall of fame for that kind of thing, that post was a first ballot shoe-in
I hate the yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Th Twins acted like scared girls out there today. I’m still pissed about the loss.
We’re likely going to be swept.
