BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm fine w/ it. Its a part of baseball and if hes letting it get to him, which looks to be the case, then he is doing nothing but proving them right.

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...

I dont think it highlights anything. The Yankee players hardly ever let anything leave the locker room and leak to the press. Its hard to tell whether they support him or not. But I think that they all understand the situation. The situation whether some fans can accept it or not is that A-Rod isnt going anywhere. There are only a handful of teams that can afford him and there is no way the Yanks can get anything back for him.
IMO A-Rod can fix alot of his problems just by loosening up and not take everything so seriously, hopefully that doesn't happen, b/c he's the type of player who can carry his team on his back (just not past the 6th inning).
