Alex Rodriguez is catching fire again. He seems to be finishing the season how he started it, red hot. At this rate he looks like he has a good shot of surpassing 60 home runs this year. If he does reach 60 then he would be only the 6th player to do so (Along with Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, & Barry Bonds.)

Last night he hit his 50th and 51st home runs of the season. And actually while I'm writing this I just found out he hit another one in the first inning of today's game in Kansas City. That's 52. And the game is only in the 2nd inning, so who knows he could be adding to that total even more today.

The Yankees are 80-62, remember back when they were well under .500? Seems like a distant memory.
