[browntown653]

This thread will count down Alex Rodriguez's quest to join the elusive 500 HR club.

April 23rd at Tampa Bay
2nd inning
Solo HR off Casey Fossum

[browntown653]

April 23rd at Tampa Bay
9th inning vs Al Reyes
2-run HR to left field

- This ties Albert Pujols's April record with 14 HRs, he also has 34 RBIs. It was an absolute BOMB even though Tampa Bay still has a 10-8 lead.

Tuesday, May 8th
5th inning vs Texas off Mike Wood
2-run HR, Yankees up 6-1

15th HR for A-Rod and his first in 46 at-bats.

The Yanks are playing Texas not Cleveland.

Saturday, May 20th @ NY Mets
8th inning, 0 out
2-run HR off Scott Schoenweis

GOOD FOR A-ROD!!!! I SURE HOPE HE GETS IT!!! KEEP HITTING THOSE HR'S, CATCH BONDS AND PASS HIM AND WATCH HIM CRY. COUSE BY THE TIME A-ROD GETS THERE, BONDS WILL BE WAY TO OLD TO COME OUT OF RETIREMENT!!!

WAIT, CLEMENS KEEPS DOING IT, WHY BONDS!

Down 8-3 in the 8th ARod comes through again! he has reverted back to his typical self unfortunately. We kne he couldn't keep up that April pace but did he have to completely go back to his normal self?

Monday, May 21st
1st inning off Tim Wakefield
2-run HR to left-center, Yankees lead 2-0

Bomb off a flat knuckler. 3rd in 3 games.

Yeah.. I hope A-Rod gets there!!!! I truly sense a run to try and climb back into the race a bit by the Yanks!!!

[browntown653]

I hope you're right, I at least wanna get in the WC race.
