[NU Sports] Girardi (fwd)

[Ben Adler]

The Giants spent $127 million on that other Barry (Zito) last year, so whether they can afford A-Rod is questionable.  After all, they actually used (gasp) private funds only to build Phone-Company-du-Jour Park, and they're in a lot of debt.  But A-Rod's always hit the ball well there and I think he's said he likes the park.

Not that this is Northwestern-related or anything...unless you count the Giants beat writer for the Oakland Tribune, who's a WNUR alum.

I think that the Giants and the Dodgers are going to be in the final hunt for
A-Rod.  The Giants have some money to spend by letting Barry go.  They also
need some star power to keep putting people in the seats.  A-Rod may not like
it though because it isn't a very hitter-friendly park.  Clearly thought they
love dysfunctional home run hitters there, so perhaps it will be a good fit.

The Dodgers just need to win.  A-Rod isn't the player they should sign if
they want to do that, but ownership sometimes lets ego get in the way of good
judgment.

But in the Yankees' case, you can be fire IN one day.  R.I.P. Joe Girardi. 
At least the coffin will be lined in gold.  (A-Rod with the Mets?  Nah!   Not
at short or third.  While I would love to see the Phillies have someone of
that caliber playing third, not at $300M.  That's insanity.)

Any news on the Cats' TV schedule this Saturday?
