The only things Alex cares about is his stats and getting paid.
Unless it came out of his mouth I don't think he only cares about that and not winning.
Well if that story from the other day is true than I think that's a pretty good example. Did you see when the camera panned on him before the game yesterday he said "hi mom" wtf was that all about. Francesca killed him on the fan for that today.
If he cared about winning he would've taken less money instead of signing with a last place team back when he first hit free agency. Maybe if he showed a little emotion once and awhile i might think differently but I've never seen the guy upset after he fails at the plate.
We had a birthday dinner for my dad, one of my cousins, and one of my uncles tonight and we were talking about A-Rod. Another one of my uncles mentioned the Dodgers could be a place A-Rod may go if the Yankees decide to let him go or trade him.

There are 3 things people do when a camera is in front of them. Wave, Say "Hi Mom", and stick their tongue out (Which I hate).
Dude, arod is fucking furious right now. He was being a complete wise ass when he saw hi mom. Everyone handles shit differently. All the dude has talked about is winning. People get on the guy way to hard because of his salary and fuck that, no one here would have turned down $252 million if you had to play in fucking Alaska. And the union never would have let him turn down that contract so its irrelevant.
The guy is overpaid and has been pampered since he was a kid so he doesn't always act the way Yankees fans want him to, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about winning or is a bad person.

Yeah, right. They'll have a $300 million payroll and all question marks.

I think it's the influence Jeter has had on the entire organization and fans that we want the players to act just like Jeter.

AROd is all over ESPN today. This is his last year with the Yankees. No doubt in my mind.
If so... The Yankees are going to be paying most of his salary. Who would take him on at this point?
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

If the Yankees take on most of his salary what team wouldn't take him?

It's the Yankees fault for signing this ridiculous $272 million contract and a no trade clause so you reap what you so. Sadly he will be back with the Yankees next year now will finish his career there, I don't think so at all.
If you had put that kind of money in front of me I would have what Arod did sign that sucker.

The most underappreciated New York athlete of my lifetime, hands down.
He was my favourite player as a kid (being from Seattle). Great player, gets a lot of flak for doing what we all would.

It's pretty unreal. Not a word about Cano, Swisher, Granderson or anyone else in the damn lineup that isn't hitting. It is always the case with Arod but it is just too bad, because he is/was so god damn good at baseball and so much fun to watch hit.
Not to mention the guy rushed back from a broken hand to get in the lineup with no rehab at bats. Now he is getting all the shit in the world.
I seriously doubt ARod will be back witht he Yankees next season. Some bridges can not be mended and this is one in my opinion. The media is relentlessly feeding on him, he's been pinch hit for, he's been benched. If anything he should WANT to be out of NY as much as the team wants him gone. Let's face it. He didn't even originally want to be with the Yankees. This is a marriage that probably should have never happened but it did, and the team is going to pay big time for the divorce.
Swisher gets booed, cries like a little bitch and people get mad at him for one day.
Arod has won multiple MVPs and carried this team to a world series title and he gets benched, says nothing wrong, tosses a ball to a girl and everyone is trying to run him out of town.

I agree that he should want to leave after all this nonsense. Dude loves New York though.
And I'd say, dude may have wanted to go to Boston because that looked like the most likely landing spot, but that dude loves New York and loves wearing the pinstripes. Dude cares about his legacy and he is one of the greatest players of a generation and wearing pinstripes. That means something to him.

If nobody wnats to accept the terms of a pending divorce...he'll be back in this Yankee house quicker than you can say Amen. Except for the post season he's been a good player during the season but you do become great when it counts in the months of October.

What it comes down to is performance and he just hasn't performed. He had a good run in the 09 playoffs and that's it. He's never really been a crowd favorite and just always seems uncomfortable. Take out 2009 and ARod has 4 post season HR's. Also his last post season HR ws in 2009. :fp: Take out 2009 and he has a total of 15 RBI's.

this is pretty sad, when you look at it all together,
his failure isnt quite as shocking. With or without A-Rod,
I hope CC and thre Yanks can bring it on home,..

Yankees have an elimination playoff game in less than three hours and yankees fans are making fun of Arod. ONLY Yankees fans.
We expect more that's why
