He’s just days away from his 38th birthday. The Yankees were wise to move him while they could still get something for him." Wish to re-evaluate? “He’s still a feared hitter, but his body is in decline and he’s basically a dried-out husk of his former self. He’s just days away from his 38th birthday.

And who knows, maybe The Mullet had secret powers. It wouldn’t be the first time.

According to the caption of the story I lifted it from, A-Rod and Sheffield are "celebrating." But without that knowledge, it definitely looks like Gary is tearing Alex a new one, and a fearful Alex is responding by nervously dropping a random batting helmet. Alternatively, it looks like Sheffield flung his helmet at A-Rod in disgust, and Rodriguez effeminately threw up his palms in self-defense, as if to start a slap-fight. On second thought, this could have been a great write-your-own-caption. Oh well! Actually, the scary thing about that photo—-that *is* indeed Sheff’s happy face.

But then, a bat boy happened across this photo, clearly showing that Foulke had been pitching under the influence of a supernatural phenomenon known only as the Evil White Aura of Doom. Knowing that there is no counter-jinx for the Evil White Aura of Doom, the Red Sox had no choice but to decline Foulke's 2007 option.
