"Alex tried just so desperately to be that guy, all the time... I don't care how talented you are or how much money you make, this is Jeter's ballclub. I think what he tried to do was be close to Derek and to try to -- I don't want to say imitate him -- but just try to get a feel of what the personality is supposed to be on this ballclub."Yes, that's Joe Torre, talking more smack about A-Rod. JT was on the MLB network today chatting up his new book The Yankee Years with Bob Costas and took the opportunity to dispel all the controversy surrounding his brutal honesty exposed in therein. Just kidding, he reiterated the fact that A-Rod is a pathetic chump with no personality (or dignity) of his own.
WE GET IT. YOU LOVE DEREK JETER.
YC, with all due respect, I have to disagree with you. A-Rod has been nothing but a "look at me" type from day one. I (STILL)think Torre is one of the best managers the Yanks have ever had. I think he was getting sick of "stroking" this primadonna. Alex Rodriquez is a Derek Jeter wannabe. And oh by the way I love Derek Jeter too!
ReplyDeleteThis just in. Sereval sources report that A-Rod used steriods. Big Surprise!! The guy is a CHUMP!

WHAR A *CLASSY* ORGANIZATION!!!!!!
Hey, where are you, you coward? Your boytoy's a fraud, liar, and a cheater!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSHOW YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!
Give the YC a break, you guys. There's nothing wrong with having faith in someone until they give you a reason not to. I had a lot of faith in Andy Pettitte until I found out that he lied about the growth hormone. It wasn't even so much the fact that he used the stuff - the lies bug me more than anything. But I remember very well the "punched in the gut" feeling that I felt upon hearing the news.
ReplyDeleteI felt it a bit with A-Rod, too, because I can't help but root for a guy who tries so hard but doesn't get everything right.
So give the YC a break. Nothing wrong with supporting a fellow human being.
