The fans are getting behind A-Rod; he came through yesterday with a ribbie and has gone 3-4 today with 2 RBI, a single, a double, and a leadoff homer. His first rbi of the game tied it up at 1 a piece. Great job!!!!!!

What exactly does the world series have to do with Arod? The yankees of the last 2 years shortcomings haven't been on Arod's shoulders. Your ridiculous comments show just how little you know about baseball.
He had the go ahead RBI last night (before the 'pen blew the lead), and had a big game today. Let's hope he keeps it up.

Interesting comment from someone who has been told that himself NUMEROUS times.
I find it comical that 'fans' want to berate Arod for not winning (or going to) a world series. Since when does one individual player affect a team going to the world series? Last time I checked, the yankees not going to or winning the world series the last two years sure as hell wasn't Arod's fault.
Arod was partly at fault just like every other member of the starting roster/rotation was. He had as much to do with it as any other member of the organization.

"it's about time those moronic yankee fans woke up and realized they had the best player in the AL on their team."
A-Rod is certainly the best all around player in baseball over the last 10 years, but not this year. A-Rod is having an off year for him compared to last year when he won the MVP. Hey but everybody is entitled to a bad spell, right? Gee whiz the guy does have 29 Home Runs and close to 100 RBIs! Some players would kill to have those stats for one year in their career.
I am a Yankee fan and know how very tough New York fans can be, but I have also heard that Boston fans can be equally as tough. I seem to remember stories of Ted Williams getting booed at Fenway. Is that true?
I compare A-Rod and Jeter to Maris and Mantle. Unfortunately Yankee fans didn't give Maris any love until it was too late. I don't think there is going to be any lovefest until ARod wins a ring with the Yankees while contributing mightily in that WS. Jeter all ready has 4 and has proven himself to very tough NY fans.
"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."
Jeter gets a pass because of the 4 rings (and last time I checked, he didn't win those all by himself).
I also notice jeter's been there for each of the last 5 years the yankees haven't won the world series, Arod for 2. Yet Arod is the whipping boy, while jeter is given a pass. One could argue that, based on their tenure the past 5 years, that jeter is more at fault for the yankees not winning the world series in the last 5 years than Arod.
Jeter gets a pass because of the 4 rings (and last time I checked, he didn't win those all by himself).
Arod doesn't get a pass because he's having an off year(and last time I checked, he hasn't won one of those).

he didnt get a pass because he was HATED for 10 years before coming to NY. He doesnt get a pass because he bad mouthed his current teammate and captain while he was piling up meaningless numbers for last place teams.

Anyone who says A-Rod has not come up big in a meaningful series is wrong. A-Rod had a big series against Minnesota in 2004 especially in Game 4. I vividly remember A-Rod stealing 3rd and later scoring in the game that Santana started. Of course that series got overshadowed because the Yankees went on to choke against Boston.

I dont think there is any misunderstanding that ARod CAN come up big, and has...he certainly has the natural ability to...but in 2006, because it matters what is happening NOW, his production numbers arent telling the true story.
He has come through this year but not nearly enough. Laws of average say that he is going to at a minimum. Too often his numbers come when it doesnt mean much and there is little or no pressure at the plate AND on the field.
There have been some good signs in the last couple of days that he could be turning that around. As a Yanks fan, I truly hope that is the case.
"Jeter gets a pass" - oh man....give me a break with that trash Axhole. Jeter is the core of the Yankee team. He is a Yankee throw back - the leader on and off the field. Arod is going through a slump. Every great player has done same. He'll come out of it a deliver some unreal numbers to even it out.

Than you should also "vividly remember" Arod going 2-17 in the last 4 games of the "choke" series, as the haters like to call it... if I were a Boston fan, I'd be dying to call another team a choker too, especially after 78 and 86...
<< <i>He'll come out of it a deliver some unreal numbers to even it out. >>
Of course he will, now that the team is 8 games up in the division...
ARod with another good game at the plate and 3rd curtain call in a week...because we all know how unappreciative Yankees fans are. I hope this is the official ending of his "slump". The big test will be the playoffs as EVERY at bat is clutch. Let's keep it going, ARod!
And might I say a fine start by Rasner. From the depths of hell we are all told that is the Yankees farm system. Not a home grown guy but someone picked up by Yankees management. Good job Rasner!
LOL...I hear ya...Im TRYING to stay positive hoping that if he hits well, it will carry on into the playoffs and hopefully WS. It's definately a mental thing with him.
Im staying positive too.....I am positive that this guy was gutless when the team was behind the Sox and injured. I am positive that now the division is won and the pressure is off he can hit without fear of it meaning something.

you guys are absolutely, positively, unbelievable. >>
It is absolutely, positively, believably true that Arod choked all year when the chips were down and now that the pressure is off and division won he can come out of his shell of cowardess and pad his numbers. Truth hurts, plain and simple, sorry you cant accept it.
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
It's amazing that, instead of being grateful that his slump is over, you dig to try to find yet another reason to bash the guy.
Please tell me how he choked when the pressure was on all last year when he was winning the MVP?
Oh wait you CAN'T, you only apply it to THIS year, this third in NY, when supposedly he's now just feeling the pressure? You are completely out of your skull!
It doesnt matter what I say, or what you are told, you will argue till the end of the earth to defend him. He did crap this year when they needed him most, and now that the pressure is off he hits. He felt the pressure last year, and the year before in similar situations.
This has been argued 100 times over, you have your opinion, I have mine. You arent changing yours, i am not changing mine, so lets not waste time and energy.
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
I think that Arod is the least appreciated player in the game today. He's turned the corner on his slump, hits 2 bombs today, and yet yankee 'fans' are still talking chit?
And I and many others still consider Arod to be the most overrated player in the game today. And no matter what he ever does I will still talk " chit " about him for what he did before coming to the Yankees.
You dont like it, dont read or respond to my posts, easy enough.
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
I find it compelling that yankee fans continue to shun the best player on the team, that's all.
Speaks volumes about their trivial hatred of players who aren't 'true' yankees...and that the best player in the AL is on their team and they still turn their back on him.
There are plenty of players who werent Yankees from the start, came to NY and were loved. The list is endless. He will never be on that list for me, no matter what he does, no matter what you say.

Thank you for finally admitting it.
Simply proves what a petty and jealous 'fan' you and your ilk truly are.
finally admitting what ? I have said since day one exactly how I feel about him, there is no secret or mystery.
It has nothing to do with being petty or jealous. He bad mouthed players that are his teammates now, and he puts up numbers when the pressure is off. What is difficult to see about that ?
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
And Ax, please....if you would like to debate, fine, nothing wrong there. But PLEASE, can you stop already with the personal attacks and name calling ? There is no reason for it.

No, I said nothing about 'liking' a player, but I find it amazing that someone would admit to the fact that there's *nothing* said player could ever do to win your respect.
If A-rod can produce HALF as much as he has this Labor Day weekend in October it will go a long way for him and his realtionship with the fans .... including me.
I think Arod will come up big in October. I just don't buy the argument that he can only hit when the pressure is off. While it may be true that he has had his share of troubles this year at the plate in key situations, he is far too talented to bet against as a hitter. He is hated by many Yankee fans to be sure, but he is still a hitter that you need to reckon with regardless of the situation.
I think softparade has a good point and he is willing to embrace Arod if he does come through, and that's all you can expect from a fan, but there are many fans (like murcerfan) that will despise Arod no matter what he does, and that's not fair, but I can understand it.
