After finally, last night, reading Tom Verducci's everybody-hates-A-Rod piece in Sports Illustrated, I can say the following:
- A-Rod may be a loathsome crybaby, but I do sort of feel sorry for him. That the fans of the Yankees have turned completely against one of the best players in the game, just because his 30 homers and 100 RBIs "aren't enough," just goes to show that Yankees fans are every bit as unfair and hateful as Philly fans.
- That said, shouldn't he be media-savvy enough to know that saying stuff like "they only hate me because I'm good looking" doesn't sound very good?
- I knew A-Rod and Jeter would feud eventually. There's so much bad blood, they haven't even gotten to the question yet of which of them is the prettiest.
- How the hell did Jason Giambi become a moral authority on anything? He's the guy, don't forget, who's stealing millions of dollars based on his steroid-inflated stats. And my heart just bleeds for him, that he might miss some time with a wrist injury.
- I just hope this sparks lots of dissension in the clubhouse, leading the Yanks to a calamitous ALCS upset by the Twins. We can all dream, can't we?
Posted by Stephen Silver at September 22, 2006 10:57 AM1. Comparing Philly fans to Yankees fans? Unfair and wrong.
2. It took you this long to realize how horrible Yankees fans are?
3. The frequent chants of "A-Rod is a pussy" and the like never tipped you off?
4. The A-Rod Jeter feud - don't get in the middle of a gay lovers quarrel.
5. F the Yankees
