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.

I agreed that many guys could use some help in the monogamy department but A-Rod seems to take this to excess.....the guys lack of clutch performance makes his period of performing seem inconsequential though the numbers are there for individual stats his lack of impact on a team makes him an empty suit.
The little item this week with his announcement of giving up the remaining years of his current contract couldn't have been more selfish and selfserving if he wanted it to be. His failure to show up for the Henry Aaron award and give deference to one of the greats of the game was another example of how selfish little Alex can be.....sorry game set match Alex is everything I try to teach my kids not to be..
