Looks like I'll get to see A-Rod go 0-4 with the specially marked balls

Alex Rodriguez is definitely pressing. He's been swinging at garbage since getting to 499 career home runs.

At least he made good contact a couple of times tonight, driving the ball to the warning track twice.

What's disheartening is that he hasn't gotten a hit since reaching 499. He is 0 for his last 16. The Yankees are 2-3 over that span. It'll be best for everyone when he finally gets this home run out of the way.

I was kind of hoping he wouldn't hit the home run tonight, as I have tickets to tomorrow night's game. John Danks is starting, and Rodriguez is 0-3 with one strikeout against him.
