I wish he ws out of town already, let him go play in a place like KC where he can play w/ no pressure and do what's important to him and that's set all the records he wants to set.
Because of stuff like this. Was A-Rod the one pitching that gave up 7 runs last night? He hits a HR and people get on him because it was in a blowout. It seems petty and stupid.
Some of our fans are just pathetic. But you can't really do anything about it except block them out, really.
No, last night wasn't his fault but i's very frustrating when he has a million opportunites for big hits and fails time after time after time then comes up w/ no pressure and hits a HR. You guys are nuts, i don't know why you follow sports. Just for the fun of watching guys put up #s? I watch to see my teams win, I very, very rarely bash my team's players like this but it's warranted. he opened his big mouth a few years ago about Jeter then he comes here and he's a failure. I DON'T CARE ABOUT MEANINGLESS FANTASY NUMBERS! I want to see a guy perform when we need him to and this guy does not. It amazes me how homer Yankee fans(I know why the met fans are doing it) can keep defending this guy.
You made a million excuses for Randy last year. If you're going to make excuses for Randy, and totally bash the MVP of the league, that is a little confusing.
Randy was great for us in the 2nd half, he was 5-0 against Boston and a huge reason why we caught them. I am not making any for randy this year b/c he looks almost done, he's moving into the ARod category slowly but surely but at least he gave us more than just fantasy #s.
Your claims are unbelievable to me. I'm not going to pretend like I watch Yankee games and see every A-Rod AB. But the assertation that he fails in "every big spot" is ridiculous given the numbers he puts up.
he fails 90% of the time in clutch spots. Most of his #s are a product of moments like last night. His "big hits" that help us win games usually occur in the 1st few innings. I'm an easy grader, all can be forgiven w/ a player if they can come through somewhat consistently. It's so frustrating watching a player w/ his ability fail time after time.
We may not have needed such a comeback if we had another player in his spot that could have come through in more big spots. We never had a problem making the postseason w/ Cahrlie hayes, Scott Brosius and Aaron boone at 3B and last I checked the year before ARod came here we were in the WS. Sure he helped us but to say we wouldn't have caught Boston w/o him is not for sure.
I must have msised all the clutch plays Herm did/did not make. You can't compare a coach and a player.
So you think if you take out A-Rod and replace him with Hayes, or Brosius, or Boone, we still win 95 games and beat Boston for the division? Get real.
No, but if we had Charlie Hayes, Paul O'Neill, Tino Martinez, David Cone, Chad Curtis and Joe Girardi in their 40's and still playing for the Yankees last year then yes. :smile:
