"He hath showed strength with his arm"

The sports press -- under the rule that it is better to be first than right -- have screwed these deals in the past: last year with the Boston deal for Alex Rodriguez, and earlier this year with the three-way deal involving the Yankees, Phoenix and L.A.

But this time, it could just be real.

From JS Bach's Canticle "Magnificat" (and props to the Vega's favorite mezzo-soprano for bringing this one to may attention):

Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.

He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
