Double Indemnity: Cano and A-rod provide guaranteed failure.

If A-rod had asked permission to leave in the 5th inning to go to a party (as he did at the All Star game), paying customers would have been spared the sight of him grounding into a double play in the bottom of the 9th with no outs and 2 men on base. Cano needs a manager more like Joe Maddon. ap photos

• NY Daily News is running a POLL:

"A-Rod's Escort Service

Is it worth taxpayers' money for police to drive Alex Rodriguez to Yankee Stadium?

Yes, Yanks need the help

No, they won't miss one more double play"
