I was gonna call him Gay-rod but that would be insulting the gay community. Not for the gay reference but the fact that A-rod is associated with it.

Come on now. Did A-rod have to go public with this brokeback mountain BS about him and Derek not being blood brothers anymore? What a lame!!!

A-rod said he felt he needed to get it off his chest? Come the hell on! Grow up and be a man. Play ball and keep your non-baseball comments about your infatuation with Derek to yourself.

Derek made all the right comments. He is sick of this brokeback mountain nonsense.

So? Time to trade this idiot.

A-rod does this to himself. He is a jacksass. In all my years of living I never heard of such non-sense. Now the new first baseman that has a "history" that goes 15 year is his new partner to cup his balls when he strikes out again with runners in scoring position and the game on the line.

Man **** A-Rod!

How can they get rid of this idiot?

Um, maybe because he is one of the top five players in the game, and they know that they would be a much worse team without him.

Just a guess.

Obviously ARod needs to step it up in the playoffs, but the reason the Yanks haven't won in the past 7 years is far from ARod. The guy is a great player and puts up great numbers. Yes I agree he sucks in the playoffs, but him sucking in the playoffs, isn't the reason this team loses. I'm expecting a huge year from ARod this year.

Stat guys never fail.

Aside from the stats, there have been countless times that my eyes have seen a-rod totally deep throat the bat. That's how bad he choked.

What about the latest stupidity coming out of his mouth?

Never fail to what, use facts to back up their arguments? As opposed to A-Rod's detractors, who use selective and subjective perceptions, but offer no data to support their arguments, except some isolated ABs.

Huh?

Well in my initial post I'm talking about how much of a retard he is, not talking about his game. Just for his stupidity alone he needs be traded.

Yeah A-rod still has a season to redeem himself, but the season hasn't started yet and we here him professing his love for being a jacksass.

Baseball in general we cheer for failure. .300 batting average is good but its 3 hits out of ten at bats. Anyway, I just know A-rod is the last dude on the yanks I want on the field when they NEED a hit or some runs.

Forget about that for a second what about what this moron said?

I'm at a total loss why some people can't see that he is an incredible player and a decent human being.

It's his salary primarily but also his personality. (He comes across as not very modest.) If we could get a solid young starting pitcher for him, I'd do it (maybe a 3rd or 4th starter). Otherwise, I'd keep him.

you have to be fair & realize that the reporters probably harass him about the stuff between him & Jeter almost on a daily basis... so he probably wanted to put that to rest & clear the air for once, so the questions would stop.

for me, i think it's time for ARod to stop being "Mister Politically Correct" & say to himself "SCREW the critics, I'm gonna say what I want to say" & just be honest w/himself, w/the media & most importantly, with the fans... there is a big segment of the Yankee fanbase that has been talking & wondering about the situation between him & Jeter for a while, so i think it's a good thing that he addressed it.

for Jeter, i think he handled it the only way he could... he's all about winning & leave the personal stuff out of the press, so that's him... we all know ARod is not geared the same way as Jeter is, & everyone needs to stop expecting ARod to be like Jeter... there's only 1 Jeter just like there was only 1 MJ, or Tiger... these guys are guys who love the pressure & step up their games in the biggest moments... not trying to equate Jeter's talent to those other guys, but in the clutch, you know Jeter's going to deliver... i think as soon as ARod stops trying to be like Jeter & starts being more comfortable w/who HE is as a player, i think the better he'll do when the pressure is on... he didn't have a problem being a clutch player when he was in SEA... he's in an untenable situation in NY... if he comes through in the clutch, that's what he's supposed to do for all the money he's paid... if he doesn't come through, then all the Jeter comparisons start to crop up in the media & w/the fans... it's little wonder why he feels the pressure he does & why he's allowing it to affect his game... he just needs to find that comfort zone, & being honest i think is a step in the right direction.

Marv told me that his big problem is that he lets "NY" get in his head.
He deserves the star treatment but instead wins an MVP and gets booed basically for not being JETER!

IM sure when they were young turks they were good buds but im sure they get along just fine but the fact is ARod is a family guy and Jeter is a single dude.

Arod need just keep doing the job and not let the fans in his head and they will love him back in time.

Lets face it, Stats in baseball are pretty important and while JEter adds the intangable, its been overblown because of his heroics!

Derek is the man, and lets hope Arod can bring it too!

just curious, what's so classless about ARod in your view? the guy gave up his position, was willing to take a huge paycut, & has been as accomodating as any professional athlete to the media & to the fans, all so that he could play on a championship calibre team & hopefully get a ring... he runs out every ground ball, he hustles on the bases, & he has a great work ethic... so what's so classless about Arod other than that 1 quote he made to SI about Jeter not being the guy that teams are afraid of on the Yankees a long time ago when he was younger? was it classy for Jeter to leave ARod twisting in the wind when he was getting the treatment by the fans & media last season? i love Jeter, but to me, he proved he could be very petty the way he handled that whole situation... as a captain, he shoulda did whatever he could to put an end to it & put his childish pride to the side for the sake of the team, but he chose to keep his mouth shut... deep down i happen to think Jeter enjoys the fact that ARod isn't liked in NY... if he wants to do what's best for the Yankees, he needs to step up for his teammate & show some support.

can I also remind you when the media and the public were making a big deal of who was the best shortstops in the league, putting a-rod and garciaparra ahead of jeets, just because he wasn't hitting big time home runs or considered a god in boston. If I recall, jeets NEVER made a bad comment about anyone and never tried to intimidate either one of those guys. he has always' played with class and integrity and that needs to be acknowledged.

We know what became of Garciarpara and A-Rod has not acted well about Jeter to the media. That's a big no, no. I'm not going to lie. A-Rod has too many strikes against him and he hasn't done anything for us, when it's counted the most to make up for any of it. That's the problem I have with this whole thing. He should of shut his mouth and just played baseball. The same thing with Randy Johnson! Don't even get me started with the sad sack of ****!

You know something TMS. what a bone head I am! What was I thinking. A-rod is the best and jeets is just a shortstop. end of story. You should be a happy TMS now.
