I love how since Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game yesterday, everyone – and by everyone, I mean me and a couple of my buddies – can only talk about how this somehow ups the ante in Braden’s feud with Alex Rodriguez.  Like now, because Braden pitched the game of his life, A-Rod somehow has to take him seriously.  I’m really looking forward to the time when these two face each other, and I’m absolutely praying for some sort of confrontation.  Either A-Rod needs to run over the pitcher’s mound after making an out or, even better, Braden throws at him and A-Rod charges the mound.  Braden has pretty much said he’s looking for a fight, so if he doesn’t throw at A-Rod, nobody’s gonna remember his perfect game – just that he’s a pussy who can’t back up his tough talk.  I hope A-Rod manhandles him.
