The guy will probably own every offensive record in the book someday and still find a way to chuck a two hopper into the stands after interfering with a pitcher tagging him out the inning before to lose a Series.
See Bronson Arroyo play for stupidity and classless acts ruining the mojo of a team. Please don't tell me you don't believe the 2004 Yankees lost the AL Playoffs because they found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
A-Rod is a chemistry killer and will never win anything other than an individual record in any big market. A-Rod would single handidly Margo Adams the Red Sox if allowed to be there.
Wanting A-Rod on the Red Sox instead of Lowell given recent events....now thats absurd!! and shows how little you value the chemistry piece. It's more fragile than you think...

And here I always thought that Pitching was important in baseball. Chemistry didn't stop the Big Red Machine, The Yankees of the late 70's, the A's of the early 70's...
Chemistry is something to blame when teams lose...so writers have stories to write about and controversies to create. If Pete Rose had chopped Arroyos hand he would have been called scrappy.
Remember one thing about A Rod and the Yankees of 07...there would not have been a Yankees playoff appearance without him. Then who would everybody been blaming? Hate to say it to the Yankee fans but you are going to be bitching about ARod next year too because management seems oblivious to the real issues that that team has and is going to come up short again.
