Latest WBC Rumor: A-Rod to Play for USA After All?!
Wednesday, January 04, 2006
ESPN is reporting that A-Rod has decided to participate in the WBC this spring, despite his heartwarming (vomit) and uber-PC statement last month declaring that he loved the Dominican Republic and USA too much to choose between the two. Apparently, A-Rod has decided that he will play favorites after all, and is “expected to announce this week that he will play for the U.S. in the 16-team event in March”.

This is still technically a rumor, but assuming it is true – and yeah yeah, I know, what they say about assuming – I’d love to hear what A-Rod’s many public relations advisors had to say about this situation. From his eagerness to play to bursting with duel national pride only to reneg and settle on the USA, the entire ordeal is borderline nauseating.

As my favorite Mets fan put it: “Well played, Slappy McBluelips. Could not have handled that worse”.

    Dear Whatever,

    I appreciate your candid comments. I do see where you're coming from - - and believe me, I love alex rodriguez and am thrilled to have him on the Yanks. the way he handled his participation in the WBC, though, is embarassing, bottom line. i'm actually glad he'll be playing in the WBC, it will be great to watch him. I just don't see a need to encourage media ciruses like the one he created with the public announcement etc. the ridiculous "slappy mcbluelips" comment was clearly a joke...recall the game vs the sox last year...

    As for damon, I never questioned his "manhood"...just pointed out the silly grandstanding he preformed with his "makeover".

    I love the Yankees - clearly - but I'm not above admitting that the team I love can do funny or strange things.

    anyway, i'm sorry if i offended you in any way. rest assured that my admiration and interest in the yanks is in full swing.
