Those waiting with bated breath for the return of Alex Rodriguez from his right quad injury for the Subway Series this weekend against the Mets will be waiting longer. Although the third baseman was eligible to come off the DL as early as Thursday, it ain't going to happen. The Yankees currently rest at third in the AL East, are .500 and have the MLB's 18th ranked offense; one would surely think a healthy A-Rod would help improve upon that. But let us remember, it's only May, so probably best not to rush the prized possession - or at least the most expensive -- of the Yankees back if he's not quite ready.
And other than a short stint on the DL in 2000, A-Rod has been a specimen of perfect health. Unless it's his wife's health, then he gets sort of squeamish. Let's all point and laugh at him together about that now: HA HA.
