Default Re: The Booing of Arod

I think the booing of A-Rod is completely justified. I've always defended him, since the trade went through, but I wouldn't waste breath saying something positive about him right now. I don't usually bring contracts into these kind of arguments, but come on...he's being paid $25 million to hit .125 this month? $25 million and no HR's since May 27? $25 million and a single RBI all month? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Do you Yankee fans feel that Jeter should step up, as Captain, and tell the fans enough is enough?
The way A-Rod is playing, I think we would need more than Jeter to ask for the booing to stop. Something along the lines of a video request from Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, and Thurman Munson might do the job...

Does the fact that Jeter (and no one else, for that matter) has really supported ARod highlight some internal issues?
I don't think so.
