That is all I have to read. At least you see this .
In the grand scope of A-Rod's career of course this is most likely a bump in the road. BUT in the grand scope of the injury ridden Yankees NEEDING A-Rod to be A-Rod in order to help them advance into the post season he has failed miserably ALL SEASON thus far. It is very fair to say that the Yankees have held their own through all of this IN SPITE of A-Rod. And I wish A-rod the BEST the rest of the way. The Yankees NEED him .....
Arod has had some game-winning hits already this season. He is hitting .280 with 21 HRs and over 70 RBI. What manager wouldn't be thrilled with those numbers at this point in the season? True, he is struggling right now, but only the most ignorant of fans would want to dump him for a .150 hitter or for him to be benched at this point. ALL great players go through slumps, even extended slumps, but at the end of the day the numbers don't lie and Arod's numbers are HOF, no doubt. To state otherwise, based on a sampling of one month, or even 3 months of a season is downright foolish.

If it were up to murcerfan, Arod wouldn't be in the lineup at all.

<< <i>He is hitting .280 with 21 HRs and over 70 RBI. >>
Wow, those numbers do suck. I guess you guys are right. >>
Well he's not batting .350 with 40 hrs and 150 rbi's so he's a bum. Even if he was, idiots like murcerfan would still say he sucks.
Anyone who wants to base their assumption of Arod over this year has no idea what baseball is about, and should never be allowed to watch another game.

welll, the usual ctsox broad statement without any backbone to support the broad statement. Jerry likes to throw out the words and let others bear the substance. Like the previous comment about how Jerry says the Yankees farm system is "mediocre" at best when without any doubt he has not done his homework. The proof is on the big league team slapping him in the face ..... watch Jerry's comments about the Yankees. Very near 100% is based on guess and what he "wishes" is the situation. As much as he does his homework with his Red Sox, he matches with delusional propaganda with the Yankees. How else could someone CONSTANTLY barf out how the Yankees did not plan for its current pitching status, its injuries, etc, etc, etc, when the "falling apart" Yankees are 2.5 games behind the Red Sox who who have made (in Jerry's eyes) golden move after golden move ..... Coco has done almost nothing for you Crisp, Josh Gopher Ball Beckett and his rag tag starting brothers ...... except Schilling I will give him.
Jerry, you don't know $hit about the A-rod situation in NY. Stop acting like you do. He has failed the Yankees 3 times more than the MOON SHOTS Josh Beckett has served up ..... get with it brother
Why are you justifying the yankees being 2.5 games behind the red sox, despite spending $70 million more? The fact the yankees are dominating despite spending $200 million in payroll should be more than enough reason for the so-called 'fans' to shut their yaps.
If we all used your bull$hit lame a$$ no nothing about the game crybaby arguement about payroll the standings would be SET IN CONCRETE in spring training. The top team in payroll wins the world series EVERY year, the second team in payroll LOSES the World series every year, the third team in payroll loses the LCS every year, the fourth team in payroll loses the LCS every year, the fifth team in payroll loses a division series every year, the sixth team in payroll loses a division series every year, etc, etc etc. bla bla bla bla
I was just commenting on his numbers - I had no idea what they were this year, and to hear Yankee fans in this thread tell it, you would think he's hitting below the Mendoza line.
What is there really to "know" about the Arod situation in NY? The fans, the press, just about everyone is giving him constant and unrelenting criticism - they even mentioned this during the Bos-Sea national game on FOX. He's going through a tough stretch right now, and I'm sure the lack of support from anywhere isn't really helping him. You have "fans" wanting to bench him (!) and play somebody named Green in his place. Even being sarcastic, that really is a foolish comment.
If you both knew 2% of what you guys THINK you do .... why is Chein Mein Wang 11-4 and Robinson Cano a budding star when you both spent all winter bashing them? WHy? I will tell you, because you both don't know jack $hit. Both of you hop on the latest and greatest Yankee downfall and act like you both called it from day one. Why is Scott Proctor doing very well out of the bullpen when he came from the "mediocre at best" Yankee farm system? Why is Melky Cabrera doing so well when he came from the Yankee farm system? Why do BOTH of you ignore all of these guys?
Because you both don't know jack $hit ...... that is why. Both of ya are big loud mouth know-it-alls who run from your words. Good for the both of ya

what is there to know about the A-Rod situation? Watch the games Jerry! Thats all you need to do. But you don't because you are a Sox fan. Which is fine, yet you make these comments like you know what is going on. Listening to a bit of NY radio and hearing the backlash against A-Rod is not NEARLY enough for you to talk like "you know"
Jerry syas A-Rod has been going through a "tough stretch" Ha! Jerry .......... A-rod has been going through a "tough stretch" for nearly 3 months. And it is getting worse. Hey, I hope he turns it around man ...... but my goodness, who are YOU to think you know whaqt is going on?
It is really very funny how many "fans" of other teams are so eager to throw their uneducated two cents in on what has been going on with the Yankees.
<< <i>I'm not sure what you're talking about - I am actually trying to defend Arod! What does the rest of all that have to do with anything? >>
You are trying to defend someone who has failed miserably THIS SEASON up to now Jerry. Yet, you continue to bash the Yankees farm system when it is THOSE guys who are doing the bulk of the work right now. You really don't have one fu$king clue as to what the Yankees are doing. You don't, because if you did, you would not be making the foolish statements that you have been making.
Dan, I watch the games - a lot more than you think I do. I get NESN, YES, whatever the new Mets network is called, and I also pay for MLB extra innings on cable. I am also exposed to media from both Boston and New York pretty extensively. So, I know how bad Arod is playing right now, and all season. But my point is - .280, 21 HR's and 70 RBI's - if you think that's so bad, then I don't know what else to tell you. He's going to revert back to his career numbers soon enough, and it will be amusing to see all the people in NY wearing their Arod jerseys then...that is if you guys don't run him out of town first.
how many Yankee fans do you see running their traps off about the Red Sox farm system? How many Yankee fans do you see with the gaping hole in their head yelling about stats and stats only? You know, if a Yankee fan used your warped way of judging how a player is doing they would surmise that Coco Crisp is ready for LOW A-ball. You don't get it ....
If you watched Yankee games "more than I think you do" you would KNOW that A-rod has compiled his MISLEADING stats mainly after a game has been decided. And he has become a hack at 3rd base. I hope he turns his season around. The Yankees need him.
Funny that you mention Coco Crisp - he's struggling offensively this season, and yet Red Sox fans still support him. Does that make Red Sox fans not as knowledgeable as Yankee fans? Should we be jeering him constantly too?

You're a moron to think that his numbers MAINLY have come after a game has been decided. You're an even bigger moron if you think this year's numbers are indicative of his career.
And you're going to call Wang a 'farm' prospect? Why don't you say where he really came from? He didn't come up through the yankees farm system, he was a top player in Tawaiian who the yankees signed. They sure as hell didn't develop him. Please stop desperately grabbing at straws...you look foolish. And you're quoting W/L records to say he's a good pitcher? I like how you failed to mention his +4 ERA, or that opposing batters are hitting .279 off him this year.
I find it amusing how softparade continues to lambaste A-Rod for his awful performance and then add at the end that he hopes he turns it around, I'm rooting for him to turn it around, we need him, blah, blah, blah. What a phony! How about showing a little support for a guy who's obviously struggling right now, but will most certainly get back on track (anyone who thinks otherwise just doesn't know much about baseball). I also find it amusing how everyone forgets all the key hits Arod does get. In the last month alone, he's has at least a couple of game-winning hits that I can recall, including a walk-off HR in extra innings just a couple of weeks ago. It seems like most of the Yankee "fans" here listen to too much sports radio for their own good. Give the guy a break. He'll get his 35-40 HRs this year and his 130 RBIs as usual. It's amazing how much venom gets spewed at Arod when Jason the Juicer gets all the love from the fans when he's a known cheater and a liar to boot. What a disgrace!

The guy was 20 when he signed with the Yankees in 2000. Guees he became a "top player in Taiwan" after his many, many seasons in the highly competetive Taiwanese minor leagues...

Just goes to show there is nothing personal vs. AFraud. Fans care about what happens on the field, and any Yankees fan who watches every game knows Giambi has more heart and clutch in his little finger than ARod has in his whole overpaid body...

yeah, Im a phony Here comes Joey 89 posts with his chest puffed out talking like he knows what has been going on around here the last few months. Talk about a phony.
Now grote, read carefully as you are just another in a long line of the cluless who happen in here. If I want to lambast A-Rod because he is now HURTING a injury ridden team that desperatley needs him to play like a 25 million dollar player then I every right and every reason to.
All of you "I'm the superior fan" panzies crack me up. You all talk like you are the one sitting in the stands yelling "Nice try A-Rod! You will do better next time! We will buy you pizza after the game"
<< <i>Funny that you mention Coco Crisp - he's struggling offensively this season, and yet Red Sox fans still support him. Does that make Red Sox fans not as knowledgeable as Yankee fans? Should we be jeering him constantly too? >>
You want to compare Coco Crisp to the highest paid player the game has seen? Jerry, I should not have to tell you this ...... expectations for A-Rod are a "tad" more then Cocco Crisp. And who said anything about Red Sox "fans" not being knowledgable? Where did that come from?

yet Axtell still refers to Felix Hernandez as "King" with his almost 5 ERA and a awful WHIP to go with the .269 average the league has pasted him with. That translates into baserunners galore

Once again showing your baseball IQ is that of a inbred whippersnapper. Wang WAS a prospect when he was signed, you dope. I support players who play like they've got heart, your boy Arod has the most errors by ANY thirdbaseman in the league. I'll boo him until he turns it around, because he doesn't deserved to be cheered at this point in the season.

Man, you could almost feel the frustration through the tv set (or xm radio) when in the 3rd today, arod wiffed with 2 men on then jorge steps up and belts one out. Although they lost today, i for one can't help but feel for A-Rod, you can just see it on him and in his demeanor, you know its killing him.
Personally, i know its probably not Jeters' place, but I would love to see him (as really the face of the Yankees right now and the Captain), not come out and ask the fans to lay off him, but at least come out and let everyone know the team is behind him 100% and they know he'll snap out of it soon (and he will, he's just too good a natural ballplayer not to)

Why would I be jealous? He plays for my favorite team you twit! But, he isn't playing up to that status. Most errors by ANY thirdbaseman in the MLB. Yes, offensively he's still putting up great numbers(although down from his career averages). I don't believe trading him is by anymeans the answer(stupid ESPN dopes) but if by chance the Yankees do, they'd still be able to get a group of quality players for him(even though, his numbers both offensively/defensively are all down). Ax, you defend the guy to no end. I realize this, as do all of the Yankee fans on this board.
Anyway-How about that Bernie Williams everybody!! He's still doing it and hopefully he'll come back for another season!

Well, I remember very well Moose's very public press conference a few days before signing with the Yankees. In it he said verbatim "I will always be an Oriole". I have no idea what Moose said about Arod, I'm outside of the NY/NJ area and I don't get the YES network. Hell, I wish I could play any pro sport and get paid money. The fact that these guys become wealthy from simply excelling at a kids game is amazing, more power to them and the industry as a whole. If they can make that much and have their owners still stuffing their pockets, then who the hell am I to complain about it? B/c I'd love to be where they are? lol.

NY fans have always booed, that's just them. Every athlete going to NY knows this; it's common sense. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, and ask for a trade.
For $25M a year, fans can boo me until either their throats get sore or my ear drums burst.
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
seems like stown, too, rides the jealousy train. And tinkerbell, that's the best you can do, coward? Thought you were keeping your 'insults' to the bet thread? Oh wait, besides being a coward, you're a liar too.
Fans who boo their hometown players should have their 'fan' card removed...it doesn't mean you're passionate, it means you're an unappreciative twit.
Oh Tinkerbell, we all know who the real coward is; it's all there in black and white Notice you have been absent from the thread because you ran away with your tail in between your legs
Back on topic... NY fans always have been and always will be like that, regardless of what anyone, including you Tinkerbell, thinks or says.
Oh waaaaaaaaaaaah, they are booing a .280 hitter making $25M a year. The fans pay his salary and have every right to voice their displeasure. Not saying I agree with it, just saying it is what it is.
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
Oh and by the way, you can't say anything about a hometown player, Tinkerbell, because you aren't even a "fan" of a team in your own state. If anyone's "fan card" should be revoked, it's yours.
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
I stopped responding to your childish thread when you chickened away from a straight up bet. Quit dragging it here.
And no, hometown fans don't have a 'right' to boo the hometown team. Hell they booed him last year as he was winning an MVP, due to a perceived shortcoming of failing in clutch situations.

Anyone who pays admission to a game has the " right " to boo anyone they wish. Simple as that. Any professional athlete will say the same thing.
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
"It might be strange to hear Mussina come to A-Rod's defense, given that Mussina himself pointed a finger at his third baseman for a throwing error on Thursday that helped spark a four-run inning in New York's 5-4 loss.
"I thought he was going to throw to first," Mussina said after Thursday's game. "When I turned and saw him throw home, all he had to do was throw it on target and the guy would have been out by 20 feet.
"It let everything happen from there," Mussina added of the error. "I was doing the same things I was doing before, it all just mounted up in one inning. It was a tough inning."

The fans, the press, just about everyone is giving him constant and unrelenting criticism - they even mentioned this during the Bos-Sea national game on FOX. He's going through a tough stretch right now, and I'm sure the lack of support from anywhere isn't really helping him. You have "fans" wanting to bench him (!) and play somebody named Green in his place. Even being sarcastic, that really is a foolish comment. >>
Jerry syas A-Rod has been going through a "tough stretch" Ha! Jerry .......... A-rod has been going through a "tough stretch" for nearly 3 months. And it is getting worse. Hey, I hope he turns it around man ...... but my goodness, who are YOU to think you know whaqt is going on?
It is really very funny how many "fans" of other teams are so eager to throw their uneducated two cents in on what has been going on with the Yankees.

You're a moron to think that his numbers MAINLY have come after a game has been decided. You're an even bigger moron if you think this year's numbers are indicative of his career.
And you're going to call Wang a 'farm' prospect? Why don't you say where he really came from? He didn't come up through the yankees farm system, he was a top player in Tawaiian who the yankees signed. They sure as hell didn't develop him. Please stop desperately grabbing at straws...you look foolish. And you're quoting W/L records to say he's a good pitcher? I like how you failed to mention his +4 ERA, or that opposing batters are hitting .279 off him this year.

yet Axtell still refers to Felix Hernandez as "King" with his almost 5 ERA and a awful WHIP to go with the .269 average the league has pasted him with. That translates into baserunners galore

Once again showing your baseball IQ is that of a inbred whippersnapper. Wang WAS a prospect when he was signed, you dope. I support players who play like they've got heart, your boy Arod has the most errors by ANY thirdbaseman in the league. I'll boo him until he turns it around, because he doesn't deserved to be cheered at this point in the season.

Personally, i know its probably not Jeters' place, but I would love to see him (as really the face of the Yankees right now and the Captain), not come out and ask the fans to lay off him, but at least come out and let everyone know the team is behind him 100% and they know he'll snap out of it soon (and he will, he's just too good a natural ballplayer not to)

NY fans have always booed, that's just them. Every athlete going to NY knows this; it's common sense. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, and ask for a trade.
For $25M a year, fans can boo me until either their throats get sore or my ear drums burst.
Fans who boo their hometown players should have their 'fan' card removed...it doesn't mean you're passionate, it means you're an unappreciative twit.
Back on topic... NY fans always have been and always will be like that, regardless of what anyone, including you Tinkerbell, thinks or says.
Oh waaaaaaaaaaaah, they are booing a .280 hitter making $25M a year. The fans pay his salary and have every right to voice their displeasure. Not saying I agree with it, just saying it is what it is.
I stopped responding to your childish thread when you chickened away from a straight up bet. Quit dragging it here.
And no, hometown fans don't have a 'right' to boo the hometown team. Hell they booed him last year as he was winning an MVP, due to a perceived shortcoming of failing in clutch situations.

Whichever, you are dead wrong and it just did NOT happen. I am sick of you flat out making $hit up Ax, it is time to quit the hating crap and be a man.

Again you missed my link on the prior page of this very thread, comments mussina made a day prior to your link:
Link
Mussina probably got blasted by Torre, and Mussina had to do a backstep.
from your very own article you linked:
"It might be strange to hear Mussina come to A-Rod's defense, given that Mussina himself pointed a finger at his third baseman for a throwing error on Thursday that helped spark a four-run inning in New York's 5-4 loss.
"I thought he was going to throw to first," Mussina said after Thursday's game. "When I turned and saw him throw home, all he had to do was throw it on target and the guy would have been out by 20 feet.
"It let everything happen from there," Mussina added of the error. "I was doing the same things I was doing before, it all just mounted up in one inning. It was a tough inning."
