I was reading some comments on the news stories on Every Sox Player Nationwide. I love how the BoSox fans are like, "A-Rod should learn how to celebrate, he acts like he never hit a homerun before, blah blah blah."

I had been critical of the Tigers last year after they had a big overtime win against the Yankees with a huge celebration, but I think this is a bit different. A-Rod has been so anti-clutch that now when he comes through, it really is a big deal. Plus, unlike the Tigers, this was in Yankee Stadium, so the reaction is a bit heightened. Oh well.

BTW - Not only did A-Rod pass Manny on the HR list, Manny has taken this long just to hit his first homerun this season, against the Blue Jays, yesterday.
