Just came home from Yankees Stadium. Saw the awesome combo that was CC-Robertson-Mo and Zoilo Almonte continue to come up big. Not to mention seeing Wells come back from the dead.I also got a huge sunburn on my face and arms and a pair of free sunglasses. And boy do I wish that my camera hadn't died during the 8th since I really wanted to take a pic of Mo.
that grand slam was some BS...if gardner let it go it would have only been a triple lol
With the latest A-Rod related controversy I've now finally realized that Alex Rodriguez haters are pathetic.
To an extent yes. I was referring more to the media that seems to be after A-Rod and goes out of it's way to soil his name even further.Like shortly after that Twitter thing happened the media and it's anti A-Rod stance was in full effect and the "fans" all ate it up.And to be fair IMO the only people who are allowed to shit on A-Rod are Mariners fans. I don't include the Rangers because he didn't leave, he was traded and the Rangers got a pretty decent bat in Soriano.
I'd say 75% of it is the, New York, media and 25% is him personally.I think the whole anti-A Rod thing started happening when he came to New York. I know a lot of Yankees fans and writers never really gave him a chance because they were worried that he was going to take the SS position from Jesus Christ.When he "admitted" to using steroids is probably where the whole thing really took off since people seem to immediately consider drug users in the mlb to be vile terrible people for some reason. The moment he got that bloated contract was probably the straw that broke the Carmel's back.And to a point I really feel sorry for A-Rod. Dude's obviously socially awkward, yet he's put in some of the most mentally demanding places imaginable. Casual baseball fans seem to really hate the guy even though he is/was one of the greatest baseball players of all time and Yankees fans are pretty much on the fence. 50% of them hate him and want him traded to Japan, the other 50% hopes he can regain his past self and eventually become the all time home run leader.And speaking of A-Rod, apparently he thinks the Yankees are holding him back from getting back to the field. And I think that might be happening since if A-Rod doesn't play the Yankees have a chance to say they don't want to pay him because he didn't play a single game for them, I dunno if it'd work but I'm sure the Yankees are looking to explore it.Which is kinda dumb IMO since the third basemen the Yankees are using now have been really bad. Youk's been pathetic and I like Adams but he's not getting the job done. As old and past his prime as he is, I'm sure A-Rod's still a bigger threat than most of the other right handed batters the Yankees are trotting out there.
Torre also called A-Rod, "A-Fraud" if I'm not mistaken. Makes me really appreciate Girardi and how he keeps a lot of things to himself. Much to the chagrin of the NY media.As for Jeter, apparently I have to consider him as Jesus Christ because I'm a Yankees fan. While I love the guy (no homo), he's far from my favorite player though. My all time favorite player is and forever will be Jorge Posada.BTW, who would you pick? A-Rod, Jeter or Garciaparra (throwback!). And yes, in their prime.
Which departure was more heartbreaking to M's fans? The departure of Griffey, Johnson or A-Rod?
