Gammons rips AROD
 

You have just got to love Gammons and his comments about AROD. And I have to agree with Gammons on this.

What did he say about this?




Be back later....doing something.

Anything will be furious.

His comments were right on.

He basically said that this shows that ARod and his Agent, feel he is bigger then the game, and the World Series. Gammons stated that they could have easily waited till after the World Series was over to announce this, but being so selfish and self-aggrandizing they felt the need to put themselves over during the pinnacle of the baseball season. Gammons also made a point to allude to the fact that ARod has never been to the World Series, and maybe there is a reason behind that. I believe his last words in the statement were "buyer beware."

I found the actual quote;

"“What’s unfortunate here is the total disrespect for the game of baseball. This is the World Series. [Boston’s] Dustin Pedroia and Jon Lester are doing what Alex has never done: playing in a World Series game. And to want the attention on this day is kind of a sad commentary and it might be a bit of a ‘buyer beware,’ because, again, he’s never played in a World Series game…maybe there’s a reason.”

And the clip;

Unfortunately for baseball the A-Rod situation is a hell of a lot more interesting than that World Series was.

Yeah, who wants to hear about a kid who just stopped chemo 9 months ago pitiching the winning game in the World Series. I would much rather listen to how ARod wants $30,000,000. a year for 5 years. What a feel good story ARod is, I just get that warm fuzzy feeling...

I hate to be a poopie here...now you all know that...but what's the big deal?

The individual IS bigger than the pro game itself. The game exists only for the benefit of the individual. That's why players have "my players" and that's why they are "kings" and "chosen ones" and yer whatnots.

That's why someone can opt out of a $25 million a year contract because there is always a preordained fool out there who will go to $30 million in order to install a big sissy into their lineup.

I mean who cares about the money? The sucker fans will pay it.


Let's get rid of the notion about any sports hallowed "the game" status.







It doesn't exist anymore.





















Thank all that is good we have those OHIO STATE MAD DOG FIGHTING BUCKEYES.






NUMBER ONE IN ALL THE POLLS..


....AND IN ALL THE LAND....






....AND IN THE HEARTS AND SOULS OF ALL GOOD,STRONG GOD FEARNG PEOPLE IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS.....









.....AS WELL AS ON MY SCRABBLE BOARD ON DISPLAY UPON MY FINE REFINISHED OAK TABLE.

For your sake, I hope they don't go the way of the Tribe...

I am fearful of what might happen to you...

Be more fearful of what would happen to Ohio State.

Fail me once....you die.




Don't even think of failing me twice.

Peter will be a big fan if he signs with the home team

Never happen....

Please re-sign Lowell.

Lowell = Class

Arod = not so much class

Just my humble opinion.

world series was ho hum, no one would be talking about it anyway.
and no such thing as bad press. it's working, eveyrone is takling about arod.

And if Lowell signs with the Yankees because they offer him more money...then what?

1.Lowell to Yankees
2.Arod to Sox
then...
Sox win back to back

then...
Oracle slits wrists....or says umps were biased/bugs only bite Yankees/Vegas fixes baseball/Biancone framed/Charles Manson was set up...

arod signs with the sox and his hottie wife better wear a bullet proof vest over that f*ck you shirt...

the wife or the girl friend?

Bring back Butch Hobson. :D

Unfortunately I can see the above happening. He would probably put up huge numbers in Fenway, especially in a line up with Papi and Manny.

wife. she wore that t shirt to the park a few days after that arod/girl/strip club incident. or whatever the hell it was.

That is a fair statement, but I don't see it happening. Lowell will get resigned. The only way I see it happening is if someone takes Lugo and they get ARod to play short...and this will never happen. Lowell stays in Beantown (that and you take him out of Fenway, and I think he goes back to being what the Marlins had his last year there. The Green Monster has resurected his career).

I don't want to see ARod play for the Sox, I hope he goes to LA.

They have NO shot to get anyone to take Lugo with that 3 year contract. You would love Arod if he was there. He may hit 65 hitting in front of Ortiz and Ramirez
