I sat silent for five minutes after Mo gave up the home run to Scutero. We have come to expect perfection and nobody is perfect. It was a bad pitch and Scutero made him pay. Andy deserved better, but he won’t complain. How many games has Mo saved for Andy over the years. Injuries aside, they don’t look right. But it’s only April 16th and you can’t go to Defcon 2 on April 16th.

Some guys have had good starts, and some have not. Which brings me to this weeks Cup.

“Karma” defined as “The total effect of a person’s actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person’s existence, regarded as determining the person’s destiny.”

Last year, Jeter changed his Karma. His refusal to stand up for A-Rod, when A-Rod needed support changed Jeter’s moral energy. How many opportunities did Jeter have to step up and do the right thing – the good thing. The philosphy of Karma states “individuals bear responsibility for all their actions and cannot escape the consequences, although bad actions can be expiated by good ones.” Jeter has six errors this year. He is paying the price for last year’s negativity. His lack of generosity toward A-Rod is determining his own fate. Unless he takes action and changes his attitude about A-Rod, he is destined to have a bad year. It’s not too late. This is what he needs to do: Forgive A-Rod. Take him to dinner (or invite him to a sleep over) and have a long heart-to-heart. “Alex, I forgive you and I want to put this all behind us” Next, he needs to let the press know that he and A-Rod had this discussion and admit he’s been a jerk and ask his fans for forgiveness. Then, he needs to stop acting like a vindictive prick for the rest of his life. He needs to understand that people make mistakes and everyone can’t be as perfect as he is. And when he gets all of this, and takes these actions, his bad Karma will turn to good Karma, and he will stop making errors, hit .340 and score 120 runs.
