It's possible that Alex Rodriguez and Randy Johnson will never be "true" Yankees, whatever that means exactly, unless they one day take a ride on a parade float down the Canyon of Heroes after winning a world championship.
They certainly aren't always fan favorites; A-Rod and The Big Unit often find themselves one bad moment away from hearing the wrath of Yankees fans.
That's why it was unusual to hear an outpouring of affection for the grumpy Johnson and a display of support for the fragile Rodriguez last night at Yankee Stadium.
And both highly paid, highly significant Yankees returned the favor, doing just enough to lead the team to a 7-2 win over the Angels. Simmons, Jannace & Stagg
"It was a good win," owner George Steinbrenner said after the Yankees regained a two-game lead in the American League East over the Red Sox, who lost to the Tigers, 7-4.
Johnson (13-9) pitched seven innings, allowing two runs, and Rodriguez drove in the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning sacrifice fly that was nearly a grand slam.
Go ahead, it's OK to say it: A-Rod got a big RBI in a clutch situation.
