what a bitch.

He just blew our chances of making the ALCS with his douchebag like play. The ONLY thing we got him for is to hit homeruns when we need them, andwhat does he do? DOUBLE PLAY!!! No wa ythis is happening. those god damn angels are now in position to win the series and advance. I hate AROD soooooooooooooooooo much, words can barely describe.

It's a good thing that in no way did A-ROD help this team even get to the playoffs by hitting 48 home runs and batting .321 in the regular season.

Oh yeah he's also being considered for gold glove at third base.

Yeah I'm [censored] pissed right now too. I am a season ticket holder and actually have the tickets to home game 2 for the ALCS on my desk right now. But let's not go blaming one player for having a couple of bad days at the plate, ok?

ARod rules.

Look for this show on CourtTV: High Stakes with Ben Mezrich · 11:00pm: "Miami Models" - NEW! Ben Mezrich takes
you behind the scenes of Model Season in Miami

I saw this last night. One of the things he goes to is this party at a Miami mansion with like 5 or 6 billionaire guys, ARod, and 25 hot models.

ARod rules.

i'm stunned--stunned--that arod went 0-4 in another deciding game.

did he at least hit the ball out of the infield this time? because if he did, that's progress, my friends, and you can't complain about progress.

why are all you people calling him a bitch? why does everyone hate him?


he puts everything out there for the team, he's the MVP, the idea that he hasnt been coming through is ridiculous. the whole team doesnt play well and he gets the blame. this team sucked it up bigtime in the regular season and he is probably the biggest reason they won the division. get some perspective

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, and I dislike him for dozens of reasons, none of which have anything to do with his performance tonight.

I agree. No one is saying anything about Matsui stranding 8 runners on base tonight. What about that? Everyone says they hate A-Rod but won't say what for. Why? Like none of us would try to get the highest salary possible if we were in his position 5 years ago. He was the most liked player until he got the highest salary. I have not seen him do anything since then to suggest he doesn't warrent that money. We never hear any "A-Rod being A-Rod" stories and him not playing for a week straight in a pennent race.

A-Rod had a very poor game, but as others have stated, he's the one who got us here. You can place a lot of blame for us losing the series (if Randy was able to go 7 innings in his outing, we wouldn't have even had to play a game 5), just focusing on what happened on the end is kind of stupid.

Matsui really let us down offensively today, although he had that one incredible defensive play. Sheffield wasn't much better. Bernie hits more flyouts than anyone I've ever seen, I love him for everything he's done for us in the past, but he has been a huge burden on our roster this year, and pretty much the same goes for Posada. I really hope we get rid of all of the old albatrosses this offseason. Letting Brown and Bernie go is going to be a good start.
