Alright A-rods hitting is not the issue. It is his glove that everyone is after him about. I just look at this situation like when we had jeter struggling with the bat. It is the same thing except A-rod with the glove and jeter with the bat. They were both pressing to make the big play. He will snap out of it.
Bullshit. Everything started when the media began the non-clutch/false numbers at the plate bullshit and Yankee fans bit hard.
A-Fraud????????????? Give me a break.He is the most scrutinized player in the game.The guy comes to play every game.
Yep, another case of him doing it when it doesnt matter. Of course, Jaret Wright giving up 4 runs in first has nothing to do with it because Arod was only able to hit a 3 run homer to make it 4-3 instead of hitting a 9-run HR to put the game away.
A-Rod haters think every loss is his fault. The guy is all thats right with baseball.Not to mention a great role model to kids.
I could understand it if he was having a Beltran-2005 type year but he's only about .050 points off his career average OPS. It's also pretty ridiculous to boo a guy that is important to your team when it obviously effects him negatively. Jeter, for all his .340 batting average, actually has a lower OPS then A-Rod by about .020 points.
His contract caused a ton of grief. If he was all that is right with baseball he wouldn't be with his third team.
A-Rod is having an A-Rod year does the absence of Sheffield and Matsui have anything to do with being off a points.He is the BIG BAT in the lineup as we speak. GIVE ME A BREAK.
Look, he's got Damon, Jeter and Giambi in front of him in the lineup. Let's not make it out like A-Rod has no "help" in the lineup.
FREE AGENCY. Come out from under the rock you've been under. VERY FEW PLAYERS STAY WITH TEAMS. Give baseball a salary cap and this will all change. HE IS ALL THATS RIGHT WITH BASEBALL.
He's the only guy in the lineup who is going to put up 25+ HRs. A-Rod can't carry the team as the power bat on his own. It just won't happen. He needs one of Matsui or Sheffield to bat behind him to put up better numbers.
If the Mets had A-Rod he's be the best player in baseball.They would rename Shea Stadium after him.They would retire his number.Its all about being a YANKEE and being a WINNER.
