A-Rod, Straight up Bush League

For those of you who haven't heard this: Last Jorge Posada hit an infield pop-up to 3rd base. As A-Rod rounded 3rd he shouted "mine" at the Blue Jay's 3rd baseman, and he missed the ball. For those of you who dont play baseball this is one of the most childish and immature things you can do.

here's the story:

i don't know about you guys, but if a dude is playing major league baseball, in a crowd filled with thousands of people, shouldn't a noise.... not really influence the play all that much? It's the third baseman's own fault for being distracted. It's like a dude is sliding in to the base and you look at them rather than catch the ball to get him out. If the dude wasn't concentrated enough, then forget him. And i'm not even a yankees fan...

dude, who cares. You should catch tbe ball anyway. Have you ever played baseball? So much bush shit goes on in every game. Grow a pair of nballs and play. and if you say "Have you even ever play?" Yes I won a national championship with the Bayside Yankees was recruited heavily to play in college. Fuck you

also left out was the slide A-Rod had 5 feet to the left of 2nd base with a follow up elbow to the crotch of the second baseman trying to turn a double play just days ago. For those who dont play baseball (i do) it is bush to purposly miss the base by that much and come up into him, let alone go after his pills. A-Rod shoulda had his pretty faced stomped on by that guy. A-Rod is a coward and an excuse maker, and i actually do not mind the yankees. No place for his BS attitude in baseball.

that is so lame. I actually shouldn't judge because back when I played soccer I would yell shit like "got me back" and opponents would pass me the ball. But there is no place for that in professional sports. And the sliding 5 feet off the bag is gay too. Oh and slapping the ball out of the pitcher's glove covering first. The list goes on forever. I hate Arod a lot. By far my least favorite yankees player.

If he honestly got distracted because he said "mine" he shouldn't be playing.

for the people saying that he shouldn't be playing cause he got easily distract do not understand this. By him yelling mine made howie clark(which is a back up which might explain some of it) think that someone else was going to get the ball which made him not go for.

OMG I NEVER KNEW THAT!!!!


It sounds like the ball was ahhhvously his, if he stupid enough to think the short stop or left fielder is just gonna snipe his ball, he shouldn't be out there.

Regardless of whether or not the guy should have caught the ball, it's still really immature for him to call "mine", especially if the yankees were winning.

He does what he can to win, within the rules, he yelled Ha, nothing wrong with that, and ya the ball slap was lame but he wants to win and will do anything possible (legally) to do so you can't hate him for that. Besides he's not the Yanks problem these days anyway, pitching, pitching, pitching....

did anyone else see this report? from SI.com

"Things are getting hairy for Stray-Rod. Yesterday, photographs showed him enjoying an evening with a buxom blonde not named Mrs. Rodriguez. Today, it's the Daily News that the the All-Star third-basemen makes it a habit of frequenting Gentleman's Clubs and sets his sights on the "she-male, muscular" type. "

I agree, straight bush league.

And I think some of you are missing the point. He didn't distract the 3rd baseman. There are a ton of distractions going on. He yelled "Mine!" as if the left fielder or shortstop called the ball. Thus the 3rd baseman backed off and the ball simply hit the ground.

I mean it's just about having a little bit of dignity ya know. Kids do shit like that in little league. Your bone-head player infield flied to 3rd base. Especially the Yankees too. They wanna be the most respected team in the game... with the most championship... blah blah blah. You don't have your star players pulling shit that kids in 6th grade do.

And I thought they paid the big bucks for players, not pranksters. All they needed then was Ashton Kutcher to come out and tell Clark he's just be Punk'd.

i disagree. thats how team mates communicate. if he didnt listen then he wouldnt be able to communicate with his team. i play o line in football, and we communicate every play, we have to. i think its bullshit.

no real yankees fan likes a-rod. i wish they'd get rid of him. hell, even paying him to play somewhere else would be better than having him on the team.

the retirement of paul o'neill was the end of the yankee dynasty. the man was the heart and soul of the team.
