This August 20, 2008 NOAA satellite image shows Tropical Storm Fay located south of Cape Canaveral, Florida. Tropical Storm Fay was heading eastward toward Florida's Atlantic coast early August 20, with forecasters saying it will more than likely make a return trip to the waterlogged state after it finally moves offshore."This storm is going to be with us for a while. That's obvious now," Florida Governor Charlie Crist said late Tuesday."It looks like it could be a boomerang storm." Forecasters said Fay may stick around through Thursday or later. Fay on Tuesday slammed into Florida's southwest coast, buffeting the Sunshine State with severe winds and drenching rains, while also spawning tornadoes and severe flooding.

Quotes about Alex Rodriguez
They're a great team. These are the guys that we grew up watching. I grew up watching Derek Jeter in the World Series and Alex Rodriguez in the Kingdome

Beckham is, without a doubt, planetary ... As far as universally recognisable names in sports today, you have David Beckham. After him, who? Tiger Woods. That's about it. Even the big names in US sports - Tom Brady, LeBron James, Alex Rodriguez - are unknowns in international waters. But just about everyone, everywhere, knows who David Beckham is.

So if this rule were applied to major league baseball against the Yankees, you'd be facing Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez in every inning from then on, and with Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera on base already

While Bob the Baseball Dog is more than prepared for his big debut, we all have to remember that very few players hit a home run in their first at-bat ... Alex Rodriguez hit .204 in his first taste of the major leagues and John Elway went 1-for-8 with an interception in his first NFL game, so while we expect Bob to become a superstar bat dog for years to come, Saturday is really just about getting his paws wet as an on-field performer.

The Yankees, behind A-Rod [Alex Rodriguez] and [Derek] Jeter? Maybe not ... Making the majors is the goal, if not with the Angels, then you want to play for someone else. It can affect you, though; be in the back of your mind.
