    ...Or if the Yankees trade to the Marlins who appear to be interested in him coming back to draw fans. Also IF and that's a big if the Yankees pay 85 million of his remaining contract.

    Peace

    Alex will still have to okay it.

    Why would he want to stay here after the Yankees just humiliated him?

    There is NO WAY this guy stays in NY, not after this.
    News flash: 3 other guys in the lineup are struggling besides AROD
    How come Cano (.083) hasn't sat? Grandy gets a pass?
    C'mon.
    Yankee fans have seen the last of AROD as a Yankee. Write it down.
    One of the best players in baseball, arguably one of the better Yankees, is being sat not once, not twice, but for a 3rd time, in a deciding must win game? Wow.
    Something between him and Girardi for sure...
    Yankee fans, answer me this: if you get swept by Detroit, are you comfortable that your bazillionaire All Star 3rd basemen was benched for half of the ALCS gms?
    Being pinch-hit for is one thing. Being all out benched, for multiple games in a series...somebody up the food chain has it in for AROD. Note: he's healthy...
    He gone

    I think it's bullshit by MLB...well we could be into the 6th inning by now and was a beautiful night for baseball.

    Tomorrow I believe their calling for 90 % chance of rain or something like that. If their going to use technology and radar and shit like that...then why not use to move the game up an hour...have the local radio/TV put the word out.

    He's been humiliated ever since he got here by the fans and the press. Even though he lives in Miami I don't think he wants to go to a losing team. If it was me I would stay

    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.
