what did he do now?

YanksHater213 · 08-26-2006, 08:57 PM

he went 0-5 with 3 ks and 3 lob in a 12-7 loss.

Jon_Papelboner · 08-26-2006, 10:23 PM

Oh, but it gets worse.

Yesterday- 0-5, 4 K's.

At one point 9/11 at bats resulted in K's. That's an amazing display of anti-talent.

Yet this guy is the reigning AL MVP? Every red sox fan knew that he was a choker LAST YEAR yet all the yankees idiots argued that his defensive value made him CLEARLY the most valuable player. what a joke.

(that being said, he's a good player, just not as good as he has been painted to be)

Actually he's even better than he's made out to be ... he just clearly does not know how to handle pressure.

I used to defend A rod, and yes he was justifed in getting the MVP last year, their numbers were similar, but A rod played defense, and played it well.

But this year has been a totally different story. This recent collapse has put me over the top. I will no longer defend this guy against attacks. I just can't stand him anymore.

AlexanderTheGreat13 · 08-27-2006, 02:25 AM

Sometimes I think we all need to take a step back. Is the guy having a terrible year (for himself)? Sure. This one bad year doesnt mean his entire career was a fluke. Hes on pace to break Henry Aaron's record and a slew of other offensive records. Does A-Rod annoy the hell out of me? Sure, but you have to keep things in perspective.

Sox fan in Tex · 08-27-2006, 03:17 AM

WHAT? NO! KEEP A-ROD! PLEASE!

He Hate Me · 08-27-2006, 06:30 PM

1-4 with 3 k's so far. It's amazing, his bat never leaves his shoulder on pitches down the pipe.

Jon_Papelboner · 08-27-2006, 08:46 PM

but it aways does on sliders in the dirt. He's pathetic.

He was the MVP. He led in almost every major statistical category. This year, notsomuch. However 2006 doesn't change 2005's stats or circumstances one bit.

don't worry...Yanks fan here at work says he can tell that the guy is about to carry the team on his back and says he'll be the WS MVP this year...he says he can feel it.

can't doubt premonitions like that...even if it is the same dude who has claimed for years that Giambi never used 'roids and that there never were any such thing as dinosaurs.

ARod2212 · 09-01-2006, 02:11 PM

Is it really all that impossible for Rodriguez to carry this team? I mean the guy is one of the best players of this generation. Don't suffer from 'head up your ass' syndrome.

Jon_Papelboner · 09-01-2006, 02:31 PM

After we clinch, or if for that matter, he'll carry us until the postseason.
