A-rod
 

enuff with the crying . what he did was perfectly fine and it happens all the time. ask any infielder and they will tell you. its torontos 3rd basemens job to catch that ball no matter what. he blew it and its his fault . its just sour grapes

was listening in on mike and mike, who called his actions 'bush league' and then colin cowerd said there were no rules against it.
i agree, quit whining and catch the ball next time!!

good for a-rod, he should get a bonus.

i like watching mike and mike , but i seen that also "bush league" thats a laugh . its been a part of baseball since day one. stealing signs has been part of the game also. you adjust. i'm just upset his teammates are not saying anything or suporting him -any other yankee and they would defend him. its like the yankees just distance themselves from him. i guess its the price you pay for being the highest paid player. always a target for sportswriters etc.

A rod is crying for other reasons... :)

some deserved some just unwarrented. in the end he has the chance to be one of the greatest players in the game and smash records if he stays healthy and can play a long career.

I don't think this happens all the time. If it did, it wouldn't be receiving the amount of attention it is now. Of course, being Arod is going to bring it more attention but I don't think it's normal. I absolutely think it's bush league on his part. Actually, I think it's little league on his part. It's like some 10-yr old sitting in the dugout at his little league game yelling "aye batter batter.....swing". There are some things u drop once u become a pro. I think Arod is great and he's one of my two favorite players. But I can't support him on this.

I'm not a Yankees fan, I always enjoy watching him play and hope he does well. A-Rod is one of the greatest players I've seen in my lifetime. What he did the other night was not bush league. When he tried to knock the ball out of glove of the infielder a couple years ago that to me was bush league.

I thought you were gonna talk about the blonde!

I thought the same thing when I started reading it.

If it was Jeter who did it, the media would say that it was a hedy play and he was doing what it took to win. But since the media hates A-Rod, it is just something else they are using to make him look bad.

Yeah, cause the blond didn't make him look bad at ALL. The media had to make something up. :D

Agree...the guy can't win...he hits around .300, drives in 120 runs, hits 35 hr's and it's a "bad" year and the media is ready to lynch him. He seems to be doing everything that I would expect from a teammate, this wasn't "bush league", it was him trying to win...I think that's the object! The off-field thing is none of my business...period!

Nope it is between him and his wife, but it still shows what kind of human being he is.

I don't care what the guy does in his personal life. It's none of mine or any one elses buisness!

I was being silly about that comment. Sarcasim.

Even the play against Boston, it was cheap, but it was desperation time. The guy was tring to win! If A-Rod would have hit the ball that Jeffery Maier grabbed he would have probably been called out. But in NY Jeter can do nothing wrong!

Ridiculous statement...I hate the Yankmees but Jeter is a class act and he would not pull crap in the first place. ARod is a piece of crap...no matter who he plays for...He is a me first guy. I'm not saying he doesn't have any talent as his stats prove otherwise. He IS "Bush League"...Bottomline!

Really? How is that? I don't know anything about A-Rod's marriage and I'm not entitled to know...people sometimes do stupid things, doesn't damn them or their character. Again, it's his business...I don't want to know but I certainly get tired of folks judging others without all the facts!

Jeter is the golden child that can do no wrong in NY. He also as captian has never embraced A-Rod as a Yankee. I really believe that if he backed up A-Rod, then A-Rod would not take as much heat from the fans and media. He stood up for that juiced up Giambi but never has ever defended A-Rod! They all sucked in the playoffs last year, Sheff, Matsui, Posada (who always get a pass and it drives me crazy. Wonder if it is because he is Jeters best friend). They all stunk, but it was all A-Rod's fault.

They have stunk up the playoffs for years with a $200 million+/- payroll.
I think ARod would be treated like he is no matter where he goes...I'm just glad the Spanks got'em and not the Sox!!!:D
