It’s sure interesting that A-Rod knew about this on Thursday, yet didn’t say anything to the Yankees about it. It appears they found out the same time everyone else did, Saturday morning.
When do we get the Jeter quote? You know, the really generic one that somehow nails the spot between team and not sticking up for the guy? Jeter is good at those:
Reporter: Derek, do you like vanilla ice cream?
Jeter: Well I think we all recognize that vanilla is one of the top flavors in ice cream. I think you’d have to put vanilla, chocolate and strawberry all in the same conversation.
I’m not sure that was an actual quote, I may have dreamed that one.
Nine more seasons of A-Rod in the Bronx. What will his 15 years in pinnies be remembered for? So far they’re remembered for lifting the Curse of the Bambino. The Red Sox have become the Yankees (wins and an old ballpark) and the Yankees have become a team that can’t win. A ball between Buckner’s legs or a swarm of midge flies, what’s the difference.
You may remember that in December 2003, Texas tried to trade A-Rod to those very Red Sox! How much would Yankee fans be laughing now at the Roid Sox?
Anyone want a chance at being up 3-0 on Boston with Alex and his clutch winning ways in the opposing dugout? Don’t forget it’s possible to win a championship with Hayes at third.
Wouldn’t you kind of liked to have Soriano on the 2009 (or 08 or 07 or 06 or 05 or 04) Yankees? I’ll take .280 and 30 homers out of a poor-defensive second baseman any day. You don’t need to go to the outfield for me Sori.
Well, A-Rod didn’t go to Boston, and they started winning.
9 more years. Will he ever be a “true Yankee?” Any Yankee fans want a mulligan on that opt-out? Would be nice if third base were an option for the captain in 2011 (even Cal went to third).
Mr. Captain, we’re waiting for you. You know how to reach sportswriters I assume. Let’s hear it.
