    2 Third basemen MVP's. One in the regular season the other in the post probably won't be in their teams next year.

    but his agent actually made the announcement, didn't he?

    the announcement came out as the game was ending, he probably figured the WS was about to be over so why not come out with it.

    That was mighty big of his agent to think for sure the RS were going to take the series in 4. It would be something if nobody signs him for the kind of money he's going to be looking for.

    We shall see.

    I think Lowell will be back. Theo told him earlier this week that he is the team's highest priority to bring him back sort of like in 04 when they made Tek the number 1 priority when they had all those free agents.

    If he could get the Giants to pay all that money to Barry Zito. This shouldn't be too hard. I was hoping Alex would break the all time homerun record as a yankee.

    no I mean the announcement came out right before the end of tonight's game so maybe they thought, hey, it looks like the WS is about to be over so let's announce it now

    who knows, I don't know if they gave it that much thought about what day to announce it

    but I think he's known for a while what he was going to do. He used those other reasons as a lame excuse-it makes him look like a liar

    Personally, I think it's a total bush league move to make that announcement in the middle of the World Series while a game is going on.

    A Rod and Boras just want the media spotlight on them and I hope he signs another monster deal with another team with no chance to compete.

    He and his agent just totally disrespected the game tonight.

    not only that, but how bout not showing up to get an award from hank aaron - one of the greatest players ever. i doubt he had a family function that prevented him from being there.

    You guys really think so? Why? Like it took some of the spotlight away from the Sox?
    hmm. I have to think about that.
    I mean they made it at the end of the night, it wasn't 'in the middle'

    I don't know....

    not like I'm a fan of his or anything. I don't think they purposefully meant for it to go down like that
    or if they did, I think it was Boras, I don't think it was A-rod's doing. I think he does whatever Boras tells him to do.

    he didn't say function, I read he said committment or something like that. His wife is pregnant.

    I am sorry. Blech.

    I mean I guess they could have done it on purpose, that would be so characteristically narcissistic of him
    but I don't know..

    they did do at the end of the ballgame, not like during Game 1

    Plus A-Rod's announcement also pushes the Yankees decision on manager to the back burner.

    Just a totally narcissistic move by him and Boras.
