Upon the RBI Cycle

While just missing out on the Home-Run Cycle (Grand Slam, 3-Run, 2-Run, but no solo) Alex Rodriguez did have hits of 4-RBI, 3-RBI, 2RBI, and 1 RBI last night. I believe this feat can be termed the RBI-CYCLE, and it entered A-Rod into rarified territiory. He missed out on Tony Lazzari's team and ML record of 12 RBI, and missed out on the 4-HR in one game plateau, but 4-5 with 10 RBI is a fantastic night for any baseball player. The Yankee offense is stirring to life, beginning with their 19-8 romp over the Devil Rays last week. There have been losses in the mix, but these double-digit run outputs are becoming more and more frequent (though a one-man double digit run night is not likely to be repeated). Both Unit and Pavano have had strong outings overshadowed by offensive outbursts, but I am sure both are content to be back to their winning ways. The slow start may be over, and the Bronx Bombers may be awaking from hibernation.
