Besides it being a great day for the Red Sox if A-Rod is hurt for the All-Star game it also is good news for them because Mike Lowell was voted on as the backup 3rd baseman and would therefore start, and A-Rod's spot on the roster would most likely be filled by Kevin Youkilis because apparently the MVP candidate at the plate/Gold Glover in the field combination wasn't good enough the first time.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-64400789466757988932007-07-05T14:04:00.000-04:002007-07-05T14:04:00.000-04:00Since I have been watching my cholesterol, I proba...Since I have been watching my cholesterol, I probably have about 5 hot dogs a year if that. Most of that is finishing a hot dog my kids didn't finish. When I first graduated from college, I would have hot dogs for dinner about once per week and have 2-3 dogs so that put me over the average. Also the rugby team in Syracuse used to meet for road games at Heid's hot dog stand and guys would eat them for breakfast.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-10609192851945671302007-07-05T14:03:00.000-04:002007-07-05T14:03:00.000-04:00Apparently A-Rod says he's not ruling out going on...Apparently A-Rod says he's not ruling out going on the DL, and is getting an MRI.

If you say it's about 2.5 hot dogs each time you have them, it becomes a much more understandable statistic. 65 divided by 2.5 is 26 and there are 52 weeks in a year. So that means you would be having hot dogs once every two weeks. I could easily see that being the case.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-12821063251149631942007-07-05T11:22:00.000-04:002007-07-05T11:22:00.000-04:00Let's not forget how cheap hot dogs are.
