Ok so how funny is this -- A-Rod is coming back. He came to us... check out his statement I'm quoting from http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/baseball/mlb/arod.yankees/index.html?eref=T1

Alex Rodriguez Statement
After spending time with Cynthia and my family over these last few weeks, it became clear to me that I needed to make an attempt to engage the Yankees regarding my future with the organization.Prior to entering into serious negotiations with other clubs, I wanted the opportunity to share my thoughts directly with Yankees' ownership. We know there are other opportunities for us, but Cynthia and I have a foundation with the club that has brought us comfort, stability and happiness.As a result, I reached out to the Yankees through mutual friends and conveyed that message. I also understand that I had to respond to certain Yankees concerns, and I was receptive and understanding of that situation.Cynthia and I have since spoken directly with the Steinbrenner family. During these healthy discussions, both sides were able to share honest feelings and hopes with one another, and we expect to continue this dialogue with the Yankees over the next few days.

How hilarious is that?!?!? Dan says we look bad talking to him now, I disagree. He came to us and is willing to make up for the 21 mill we lost from the Rangers. I said myself don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. well let me be the first to say Welcome Home A-Rod, we could have done it without you but it will be nice to see you break records in the Yankee uniform! we are glad to have you on the hot corner!
also We offer a butt load of cash to Mo, now just waiting to see if he takes it!
