'This is (the long and short of) SportsCenter'

[fleetus macmullitz]

Vertically challenged (not that there's anything wrong with that...lol) reporter Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York, assigned to the '24/7 A-Rod watch', goes on 'SportsCenter' as Alex Rodriguez works out hidden behind the walls of Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.

Nice of ESPN to require reporters to wear sportcoats (for us, their sophisticated audience) in the summer.

Marchand (aka Captain Obvious) said of the simulated game, "You need to be a giraffe to see anything."
