I mean, it's not MY fault he makes terrible decisions.

as a Yankee fan, I feel about A-Rod the way Stallion feels about Josh Hamilton. At least Hamilton does something useful(hit HRs) wtf is A-Roid good for anymore other than sucking up our money(I know, we're the Yankees, we have ALOT of moneY)
Trade him to the Dodgers. That's what we did with our useless, bloated contracts.
Great idea, they already have washed out A-Gon, Brittle Crawford, and Pissy Beckett, I think A-Roid will fit right in
Speaking of A-Roid, he bats Second as we try and come back. Please tell me Girardi is going to use a PH in his place, other wise we're playing with two outs
It had to be Ibanez again. That was a Reggie Jackson-esque performance!
I never thought I'd say this but A-Rod is really underrated recently. I'm seeing a lot of people saying he's bad because of his numbers everywhere but if you actually watch him play he's taking a bunch of fine swings and squaring up pitches, a line drive at someone can be worse than a strikeout.
See, if we didn't start A-Rod to begin with, we wouldn't need the 9th inning magic,
Not like I care, we still won, Ibanez doing work
Also, I can't wait for Game 5 of Oak/Det, great rally by the A's to fight off elimination, prob deflated the Tigers.

I'm tired of hearing all this bashing of A-Rod. Does he need to step it up? Yes. But it's stupid the amount of hate on this dude while Granderson and Cano are posting similar numbers. A-Rod is batting .083 with a .154 OBP and 1 R scored. Meanwhile Granderson has a .091 BA with a .167 OBP, 0 R scored. Cano: .167 BA, .231 OBP, 1 R scored, 2 RBI. Your desire for him to step up his production is valid, but not your blind "hurhur lets bash on A-Rod" hate.

We're bashing on A-Rod because he unjustifiably makes almost more than anyone in baseball and took performance enhancing drugs and now suddenly sucks. Correlation? Perhaps. Get the fuck over it, Alex Rodriguez is one of the hated players in baseball, and when he's on a streak of sucking ass he deserves all the hate he's going to get.
So it's his fault that he has a bloated, overpaid contract? No one is objectively bitching about his contract, they're bitching about his poor performance. All that I'm saying is that there's plenty of blame to go around and the fact that he gets all of it is pretty stupid imo. Sorry if my logic is pissing you off
