Nady totally rules


It's been a negative few weeks, so let's take a brief break from that and take note of this: Xavier Nady totally rules. What a great trade. Ever notice on ESPN of late, how you always hear about how "Manny has now hit six home runs since joining the Dodgers." Well, Nady has now hit eight home runs since joining the Yanks. He's hitting .316 since the trade with 21 RBI, plays a very solid outfield and seems like a great guy for the team and for the clubhouse. (Jason Bay, by the way, has 4 homers for Boston, with 18 RBI and is hitting .347 since his trade to the Sox, so I don't think they're missing Manny's nonsense too much in Beantown.) Yes, the Yankee outfield is crowded, but as far as I'm concerned, Nady has a spot out there for years to come. Just a good, hard-nosed, old-school style baseball player.
