That's the question.<BR/><BR/>B. Stanley: I'm not saying he's a bad guy ... although I've been to a few games since he's been to the team and he's never shown ME around New York. (hey, A-Rod, I'll be at the Stadium in about a month or so. Just FYI ...) <BR/><BR/>Anonymous: What you said about Thursday is very true. I'll go even further - it looked to me like A-Rod was the first one off the bench to congratulate Cano. <BR/><BR/>Thursday night, the team (and A-Rod) seemed to show the spark and emotion that fans have been waiting for. It looked like the team had life. Hallalujah!<BR/><BR/>It's as if someone called them out for their lack of fire - as if they were responding to some sort of challenge.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>... you're welcome.BernBabyBernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02708202791422735065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-73185378367186497322008-05-23T19:49:00.000-04:002008-05-23T19:49:00.000-04:00I've read that A-Rod (not our oh-so beloved Jeets)...I've read that A-Rod (not our oh-so beloved Jeets) is usually the first guy to welcome new guys to the team and show new teammates around the city and such.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-74841531105227228152008-05-23T10:51:00.000-04:002008-05-23T10:51:00.000-04:00It should be pointed out that in Thurs. nite's gam...It should be pointed out that in Thurs. nite's game it was A-Rod who went to the mound to help settle Kennedy down and it was A-Rod who thumped him in the chest with his glove after Kennedy got out of the jam. - A-Rod's emotions seem to run deeper than appearances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-47791588035851957302008-05-22T19:14:00.000-04:002008-05-22T19:14:00.000-04:00He may not be beloved by you, Bern Baby, but as lo...He may not be beloved by you, Bern Baby, but as long as he hits a home run per day, he's beloved by the rest of us.<BR/><BR/>I don't care if he pisses on fans with a firehose, if he hits a home run every day, I love him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-2072264808817857132008-05-22T17:35:00.000-04:002008-05-22T17:35:00.000-04:00I agree that you certainly can over react on a blo...I agree that you certainly can over react on a blog....but you know what, this team showed zero life and no spark the last three weeks while Arod was hurt and you can't blame him for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-60651428908532508502008-05-22T15:12:00.000-04:002008-05-22T15:12:00.000-04:00A Fox TV report after the game led me to believe t...A Fox TV report after the game led me to believe that A-Rod had put the sign up. It looked like A-Rod was scribbling something on the sign. Sorry about that.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Yeah, I guess I went a little over the top; and yes, I'm kind of taking it out on A-Rod for the fact that this team has been so frustrating. They seem to have no fire, no spark and no emotion. I want this team to be pissed that it's looking like shit. Acting upset about the call after the point was rendered moot just irked me.<BR/><BR/>And if you can't overreact on a blog, where can you overreact?BernBabyBernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02708202791422735065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-85422933890936258632008-05-22T14:47:00.000-04:002008-05-22T14:47:00.000-04:00Mussina wrote on that board...Mussina wrote on that board...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-11719477292934470702008-05-22T14:25:00.000-04:002008-05-22T14:25:00.000-04:00He is worried, already, that he may come one HR sh...He is worried, already, that he may come one HR short of breaking Barry Bonds' record, 10 years from now.<BR/><BR/>This non-call will ,therfore, haunt him forever.<BR/><BR/>He will want an asterisk on his Hall-Of-fame bust, noting that he actually hit one more home run (on May 18th, 2008)than shown on his career statistics, but the umpires blew the call and only gave him a double.<BR/><BR/>Why, Arod, if you were so sure it was a dinger, did you slide hard into second base?<BR/><BR/>Your slide played right into the umps hands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-81083253325163281542008-05-22T14:22:00.000-04:002008-05-22T14:22:00.000-04:00Actually Moose wrote comment about balls that hit ...Actually Moose wrote comment about balls that hit the yellow stairs are home runs.

Come now.<BR/><BR/>I didnt see his reactions following crossing home or anything after that inning for that matter. Arod tends to play more emotional then he really is though and may have been doing what he thought was what the media and fans were expecting.<BR/><BR/>Hey come on, hes a jock, not a sociologist. Im not defending him but I prefer to see things in neutral rather then in black and white.Bostownedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989682218239404482noreply@blogger.com
