I fucking love it. This is the story that just keeps on giving

As girardi said, dempster is a "fucking pussy"

He really said that? If so... :thumbup:

crossed up on a 30 fastball with bases empty. Take that, ump!

Cliffy6745

What did arod say when going around the bases?

That was phenomenal

There is absolutely zero chance of it happening, but how incredible would it be if Mo drilled someone?

Cliffy6745

Is there any doubt that Dempster then gave up the runs because he was scared shitless of Girardi? I would love to see him fuck someone up.

CROJAM95

Another looooong game

Worth it though

Cliffy6745

I love girardi. I have always liked him more than most and tonight was awesome

A-Rod was asked if Dempster should be suspended. "I'm the wrong guy to ask about suspensions." Classic.

A-Rod on the support from team: "I had like 15 of my teammates come up and say ‘Hit a f*cking bomb and walk it off.’ They were pissed off."

explain.

professional athletes are more than entertainers? we are supposed to worship overpaid, over pampered primadonnas? our kids should look up to these people? if they do, you sir failed as a parent. sorry.

you will probably spin the entertainment value into some kind of weird nationalistic canadian pride you spew all over the hockey threads in this forum. using it as some kind of upper hand you think you have on sports fans that don't live north of the border.

So how do you suggest Yankees fans handle the situation?

No one in here will argue he is a good guy but I do think he is getting railroaded by MLB, whether that is warranted or not is up for debate.

We root for laundry, and Arod wears the Yankees laundry so we want him to do well inside the lines.

I don't think anyone will be terribly disappointed if the suspension holds up and he is essentially done. Given the contract, any Yankees fan is likely hoping for that.

Yankees fans have made their position pretty clear over the past week. They don't like him but if he plays well he will be cheered.

Cliffy6745

This is good

i don't know ... maybe not cheer for the guy ... i'd easily take last place (where we are now) than have this guy on my team ... but that's me ... and obviously, we're talking rich baseball players and there's likely a bunch of assholes on every team ... it's just this guy is the epitome of all that is wrong in sports ...

you can cheer for a team without cheering for a guy ...
