That's why all the ill feling toward A-Rod...other guys have similiar flaws but none are able to out do A-Rod's cry for attention while showing such classless self promotion. One example would be the announcement for fre agency when the World Series is center stage...

I believe that this is a media portrayal of him to be honest. What teams has he had a negative effect on? Seattle? They were very good before management broke them up. Texas? Please. The Yankees? They have a lot of problems but A Rod wasn't one of them. He takes a lot of blame because of his contract but baseball is not a one man sport where a guy can carry a team. As for his off the field 'issues' if you hated all athletes who went to strip clubs or cheated on their wives you would have very few guys to root for.
