Meh That writing style is pretentious. I don’t really care who was right. A-Rod’s after game interview came off as smug as a human being possibly could. I would think that a player who cares so much about his image would have figured out by now to avoid sh-t like this. If he had just said a little two sentence apology this whole thing would be over. Instead, he has to give a 5 minute interview with all his goofy facial expressions.

Braden does seem like a crazy man.

This is a joke to me. For years and years, A-Rod gets called out for not being “real”, he was always a “phony”, he never “told it like it was”. I am with A-Rod all the way, if he apologized people would have just said he didn’t mean it anyway, so he did the best thing (for my entertainment). He called out Dallas Braden as some mediocre arm who is trying to gain some recognition by calling out A-Rod for some stupid menial shit that nobody cares about. A-Rod told it like it was, who the fuck is Dallas Braden, and why should I care about him? I personally loved it, feel like evrybody needs to back off of A-Rod because he honestly doesn’t owe a thing to anybody.

Seems like the better you are in this town, the more you are picked on. Unless of course you are called Derek Jeter. Even David Wright, something I never understoof was the NY media portraying Wright as this golden boy kid who could do no wrong, as opposed to A-Rod, who, prior to last year was a clubhouse cancer and whatever else they called him. I don’t get what the medias beef is with A-Rod as a player. He works his ass off, and something they love more then anything, he runs as hard as he can on every ground ball he hits, where you see Wright almost never run hard and nobody ever mentions this, where if it was A-Rod or Reyes who dogged it to first, they would be crucified.

I don’t mean to bring up Wright in this, it’s just weird how different guys are treated differently based on flawed perceptions of their personalities. A-Rod can’t win. If he apologized to Braden, he’s phony. If he tells it like it is, he is smug and arrogant. Honestly, smug, arrogant, phony, whatever, I don’t know, I don’t care, all I know is the guy can mash a baseball like only a handful of men who have ever lived, and yet you would think he is some criminal/villain who rapes women and kidnaps children.

By the way, who is Dallas Braden anyway?

Who fucken cares? I don’t want to hear about an unwritten rule, an unwritten rule means it is not a rule. Who cares if he tried to slap the ball out of Arroyos hand? Honestly? Who cares? He tried to make something happened and he got caught. How is that any different then pretending to catch a ball that you know you trapped? I bet if Jeter yelled HA as somebody ran by it would be gritty, clutch, veteran leadership, and god only knows what else.

And yeah, you wish him failure in his career? I’m sure that keeps him up at night, tossing and turning in his bed that probably costs more then your house.

David Wells is a fat alcoholic who hasn’t stopped talking in years, and I’m pretty sure he isn’t the most credible guy out there.
