By Jared Diamond / MLB.com 07/04/09 7:09 PM ET NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez walked three times on Saturday afternoon. In his last two plate appearances, the Blue Jays chose to put him on intentionally, opting to face Robinson Cano in a key RBI spot in the late innings. If Cano doesn't break out ...

Elevators, Incompetence, Credibility, Giving Back

None of those have been on display in weeks and the results since June 1st are proof of that. The elevator is going down. - ...
