Amusingly enough, the link you provided takes me to the boxscore and play by play which showed me that A-Rod actually drove in the first two runs of the game. He then batted a second time in that inning and drove in two more. But runs only count in the 7th inning or later, as we all know.

Silly A-Rod, he should’ve known the guys on his team would bail him out and drive in 9 other runs in that inning. His stat-padding obsession got the best of him.

(Never mind of course that he was the 2005 AL MVP and was arguably the only damn reason the Yanks made the playoffs that season anyway, other than the Chacon/Small combination and RJ’s monster September).

i was at that Tampa game, the 19-8 one, and yes at first it was a blowout but, Wright made it VERY interesting and w/o A-Rod the Yanks coulda easily lost that 1…

Make that bet three of the four being blowout wins and one being a loss and you’d win:

I’ll bet that the four times A-Rod’s done it were all in huge blowout games where all those runs and hits meant nothing to the final score. Boy does A-Rod suck.
