Re: ARODS Bush League Moment Again lol lol

Nathan the difference is Jeter wouldn't do something like that. So thats actually not a good example.
Thats the difference between the 2.

How many times in ARODS career have you seen AROD make a bush League move - quite a few and 2 including this one that comes to mind already this season.

How many have you seen Jeter do? to the best of my recollection NONE.

So thats part of the reason why 1 may be preferred over the other. It's not for no reason.

Re: ARODS Bush League Moment Again lol lol

I'll say it one last time. If Jeter would have started his career in Seattle, Baltimore, Cleveland, Boston, wherever, he wouldn't be recognized as he is today in New York. Being in New York, and the New York Yankee fans made him the so-called great player he is considered today. There is a reason his fellow baseball players rated in the #1 overrated player. Anywhere else, he is just an average shortstop. Hey, how many MVP's does Jeter have? Jeter has the recogition of the best shortstop now, only because arod moved to 3rd.

People making a lot out of nothing . The guy for the Blue Jays shouldn't have fell for it . LIke others have said , others do it , plus it is not against the rules.

As far as him cheating on his wife , he picked a fine example of the female species to do it with , she's smokin hot . She got the ultimate souvenir a ball player could give away (one that I wouldn't want, I'll stick with baseball bats). Apparently she's getting it quite often .....

I am sure his wife will be just fine . Hire herself the best attorney , she won't need to work a day in her life.....

Re: ARODS Bush League Moment Again lol lol

A good frind of mine works for the Seattle Mariners, and has since the late 1980's. This person has told me countless stories about how self-centered A-Rod is. He only cares about himself and being in the spotlight. A perfect example relates to him showing up 2 hours late at the Kingdome to meet a group of kids for a charity event. Although he came late, he only spent a minute with them and never appologized. He was asked several times to meet kids before the game, and usually came up with some type of excuse to get out of it.

According to this person, he is one of the most hated players in the game by his fellow teammates and other players. They basically consider him a pretty boy and does not care about the team-only himself.

Don't feel sorry for him-he's not admired by too many people, and now gets photographed with an unknown lady after going to a strip club with her. Maybe his wife is the latest who has no respect for him.

Listen to infield chatter towards the batter and explain how that is different than what ARod did.

Howard, without question, you are the #1 Arod hater. In every threat you have written or responded too, it's always the same.

Jealousy is what it's mostly about. I find it interesting that with Seattle and Texas, whether in a slump or not, he was never treated by fans or the media like he has in NY. Simply put...jealously and hatred!

Arod, even in what people call him having a bad year, pounds numbers that other players wish they could reach. Who cares about his so called mass producing of his memorabilia...his big contract...his always critized pretty boy looks, etc. IT'S ABOUT BASEBALL!! BASBALL I SAY...BASEBALL! Don't care if he gives to charity...cheats on his wife...thinks he's gods gift to manhood...I DON'T CARE! IT'S ABOUT THE GAME!

his numbers are exactly that, just numbers. He has never won anything and it looks like he won't be winning a championship anytime soon. If its about the game then his #'s indicate that he is a pure individual playing in a team sport. He can poison his next team when he opts out of his contract at the end of the year- hopefully it won't be the red sox

All those things are nice, but I'm a baseball fan! Not a character fan! He works hard, plays hard, and plays to win. Although I wouldn't do some of those things he did, like swat the ball, however, many players slide in, even worse than arod did, and many yell and distract other players, so let's not make so much out of this. Bottom line, many hate arod, and that's a fact. Whether it's the money, looks, skills, whatever...many just hate arod.

Don't hold your breath, because if he leaves NY, which he will this year...he just may end up with the Red Sox! Go get your hats early!

How has the media "poisoned" arod and the NYY??????? They won World Series not too long before they got him- did the NY media suddleny get so brutal that the Yankees could no longer win??? Arod has won MVPs and put up numbers in NY so how has the media effected him???? He has never been on a championship team- that is the fact

hi tony,

i find that statement of yours interesting. personally, i believe that, for the most part, it is about the game. i'm there to watch baseball and whether a player is surly or nice or an idiot or not is pretty much irrelevant. fact is, i don't know the players and i hardly think the sports media is a great source of objective info from which i ought to draw my opinions. however, every now and then, a player will so completely cross the line of human decency that, for me, it would be absurd to turn a blind eye and pretend it's just about the game. darryl strawberry and michael vick come to mind. beyond any subjective or trivial notions of stupidity or rudeness, vick is such an incredibly reprehensible and vile piece of crap that for me to watch him solely as a quarterback would be disingenious and impossible as a human being.
are people really expected to watch games and actually pretend to forget that they're watching a completely depraved person? "well he's smacked his wife around, smacked his pregnant girlfriend around, committed adultery, shoved half of columbia up his nose, neglected to support his kids, etc.. but wow what a sweet swing!". it's a little absurd isn't it? it's like some fantasy bubble where people are somehow expected to forget shocking realities and focus solely on relatively trivial things; to cheer a player who, in his free time, trains dogs to tear themselves apart for his amusement. at some point, for me, on-field performance becomes completely meaningless in light of a players off-field activities because i can't somehow pretend, for a couple of hours, not to have any sense of morality or disgust.
do you ever draw the line? or is it always about the game? could arod ever do anything to make you feel that, in light of his offenses, his baseball skills are meaningless?

i'm genuinely curious.

thanks,

rudy.

No, numbers are a reflection of actual on-field productivity. Rodriguez is every bit the hitter and fielder that Jeter is except Rodriguez has power.

Silly me, thinking that production reflects what kind of player you are.

Re: ARODS Bush League Moment Again lol lol

The Baseball Tonight crew on ESPN all sided with ARod. Dusty Baker said it happens all the time as guys yell it from the dugout and on the bases, but didn't think anyone ever fell for it----until now. Fernando Vina agreed.

The segment ran with video of the hidden ball trick which was humerous.
