A-rod

If it was Jeter who did it, the media would say that it was a hedy play and he was doing what it took to win. But since the media hates A-Rod, it is just something else they are using to make him look bad.

Yeah, cause the blond didn't make him look bad at ALL. The media had to make something up.

I don't care what the guy does in his personal life. It's none of mine or any one elses buisness!

Even the play against Boston, it was cheap, but it was desperation time. The guy was tring to win! If A-Rod would have hit the ball that Jeffery Maier grabbed he would have probably been called out. But in NY Jeter can do nothing wrong!

Agree...the guy can't win...he hits around .300, drives in 120 runs, hits 35 hr's and it's a "bad" year and the media is ready to lynch him. He seems to be doing everything that I would expect from a teammate, this wasn't "bush league", it was him trying to win...I think that's the object! The off-field thing is none of my business...period!

Nope it is between him and his wife, but it still shows what kind of human being he is.

Really? How is that? I don't know anything about A-Rod's marriage and I'm not entitled to know...people sometimes do stupid things, doesn't damn them or their character. Again, it's his business...I don't want to know but I certainly get tired of folks judging others without all the facts!

Ridiculous statement...I hate the Yankmees but Jeter is a class act and he would not pull crap in the first place. ARod is a piece of crap...no matter who he plays for...He is a me first guy. I'm not saying he doesn't have any talent as his stats prove otherwise. He IS "Bush League"...Bottomline!

Jeter is the golden child that can do no wrong in NY. He also as captian has never embraced A-Rod as a Yankee. I really believe that if he backed up A-Rod, then A-Rod would not take as much heat from the fans and media. He stood up for that juiced up Giambi but never has ever defended A-Rod! They all sucked in the playoffs last year, Sheff, Matsui, Posada (who always get a pass and it drives me crazy. Wonder if it is because he is Jeters best friend). They all stunk, but it was all A-Rod's fault.

They have stunk up the playoffs for years with a $200 million+/- payroll.
I think ARod would be treated like he is no matter where he goes...I'm just glad the Spanks got'em and not the Sox!!!
