Back to blogging, at least other things besides Yankees, after a five-day period that hearkened memories of Eugene Levy's line in Splash: "What a week I'm having!"
Monday March 2: The tri-state area gets crushed with 14-plus inches of snow. Yours truly broke his back for nearly three hours shoveling the two feet that was on my driveway thanks to the crosswinds. All part of the wonderful world of winter.
Tuesday March 3: I'm tortured by a wind chill that felt below zero while making my way to work to find out Alex Rodriguez is in the news - again. This time it was due to a cyst on his right hip. Since it's A-Rod, we learn there is much more to this story.
Wednesday March 4: ESPNdeportes reports A-Rod needs surgery and could be out six-to-10 weeks, causing yet another uproar in both YES and Yankeeland. Later in the day we learn it may not be as bad at it seems. Even when it's not his fault, just when you think you have the answers, A-Rod changes the questions. Within A-Rod hell, the Rangers make two trades before the NHL deadline, acquiring Nik Antropov and Derek Morris.
Thursday March 5: Honestly it's a blur.
Friday March 6: Beating a tight deadline, I file my story for MMA Junkie on Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Over the weekend, Jackson defeats Keith Jardine by decision and all parties decide A-Rod will have the surgery, a less invasive procedure that if everything goes right should have him back by May. The rest of the surgery will take place in the offseason.
