Finally!! A-Rod Hits 600th HR

You know, I really didn’t think this day would come, because I’m pretty sure that Alex Rodriguez is the biggest headcase to ever play a sport (scratch that, Ryan Sidney definitely takes that honor). But defying my expectations, A-Rod finally hit his 600th career home run (which actually was a two-run homer) at Yankee Stadium this afternoon. The Yanks are playing the Blue Jays, and the homer came off of pitcher Shaun Marcum in the first inning. Derek Jeter was on base.

Yay! for NY baseball! Go Yanks!

Japan is misplacing its really old people. Is misplacing the right word here? Maybe it’s better phrased as MSNBC put it: “loses track of its centenarians.”

Let me break it down for you. According to reports, Japanese officials admitted on Tuesday that they have “lost track” of a 113-year-old woman, who is recorded to be Tokyo’s oldest living person. But here’s the kicker – officials went looking for the woman only after a police search of the home of Tokyo’s oldest living man proved that said man was in fact dead, and his body had been resting in a mummified state in his home for approximately 30 years. Are. You. Getting. This?
