Speaking in Philadelphia, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton likened herself to Rocky Balboa, saying she never gives up, and she’s going to make it to the top of the steps. I wonder if someone is going to remind Hillary that at the end of the movie, Rocky lost the fight.

The Associated Press reported today that the New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez makes more money himself than the entire Florida Marlins team. Yankees fans were left asking, “Who the hell is Florida Marlins?”

A-Rod’s salary is $28 million, not including any bonuses or endorsements. That means that even if he bats a .333 average, he is getting $18.6 million to be called “out.”

His salary is about 10 times the Major League Baseball player average, meaning you could hire a pro player to fill every field position and still have a designated hitter, for the same cost as A-rod alone. And they say there’s no “I” in the word “team!”
