Slumping A-Rod says he's figured out slump:

All was not lost for Alex Rodriguez during his 1-for-5 game with three strikeouts Friday night. He says he and Yankees hitting coach Don Mattingly discovered a mechanical flaw causing Rodriguez's recent slump.

"We figured it out, and I am going to be working with Donnie a little bit. It's a relief to know what it is," the All-Star third baseman said after New York's 7-5 victory at the Washington Nationals.

Steve wonders, as do I, what kind of technical flaw with cause a player of A-Rod's caliber to hit this poorly. But, if he's really figured something out, all the better!
