But the Yankees' response is unforgivable. <br /><br />I hope A Rod gets a standing ovation when he gets back to the Stadium -- and that the fans start an appropriate chant about their feelings for the Steinbrenners.ceejanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-61301773504469521052015-05-04T13:31:08.328-04:002015-05-04T13:31:08.328-04:00No announcement, no message on the center field fl...<br><i> No announcement, no message on the center field flat screen. Nothing.</i><br /><br />I'll admit that I didn't think of these until just now, but the Red Sox actually missed a few prime opportunities to stick it up the collective nose of A-Rod, Yankees Yankees Management, and Yankees Fans:<br /><br /> <b>∙</b> A-Rod ==> They could have written a big "660" on the scoreboard using asterisks to make the numbers. Or, more subtly, they could have written a big "660" in a field of swirling asterisks. They would have acknowledged the milestone and given their fans a big laugh (i.e., the 3 of them who might have figured it out).<br /><br /> <b>∙</b> Yankees Management ==> The Red Sox could have written "660", included A Rod's picture, and then the $6 Million Man" underneath the photo. This would have stuck it to Yankees management *and* would have contributed to the sentiment, belief, and pressure that the Yankes should pay the man his bonus. I actually can't believe they didn't think of this. Aren't the Sox better off if the Yanks have $6-9 million less to spend on things like payroll? The Sox blew it.<br /><br /> <b>∙</b> Yankees Fans ==> They could have put up a sign on the Fenway scoreboard with something like "Congratulations to Alex Rodriguez and all the Yankee Fans who Believe!" It would have been an epic poke in the Yankiverse nose.<br /><br />Let's keep thoughts like these in mind for Big Floppy's Farewell Tour...Local Bargain Jerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777702960645118146noreply@blogger.com
