		<description>&quot;If A-Rod has any self-esteem left, he would learn from this and prove his critics wrong, but I highly doubt that will happen. I don’t think he has the balls for that. He will keep piling number when it dosn’t matter…and keep wetting his pants when the team really need him. My only frustration is, I have to live this for 9 more years.&quot;

Couldn&#039;t have said it better myself.  For all you A-Rod sympathizers understand one thing.  The A-Fraud bashers aren&#039;t debating whether A-Fraud is putting up hall of fame numbers.  We are just stating the obvious.  
Ever since this albatross has come to the Yankees his mental anguishes on the field WITH THE BAT are beyond obvious and therefore his lack of clutch hitter ability if there was such a term has left most Yankee fans intensely frustrated each season.  If it&#039;s not the post season it&#039;s in the big spots against a hated rival.  And if you don&#039;t for one second think that most of the players in that locker room cannot stand A-Fraud than I guess Torre, Giambi, the Moose, Jeter&#039;s unwillingness to stick up for this head case, even Donny Baseball has acknowledged a flaw with A-Fraud without getting into details during an interview.  He even went further this last season and stated that Manny is the best right handed hitter in baseball.  When the media asked about A-Rod, Mattingly replied that A-Rod seems to have allot going on during his at bat where as Manny gets up there and just makes it look easy with no stress.  No one is stating that A-Rod is not world talented, I&#039;m just stating let him go break every record in baseball on another team.  I would trade his mega numbers for more championships.  The Yankees always come first and than the individual.  Jeter has always seen that, A-Fraud has yet to.</description>

		<description>Well look at it this way, does a cab driver owe it to his cab company to disclose that he has prostate cancer...absolutely not.  Unless the Yankees asked for a physical before signing a coach to an extension or a contract than it is his right to disclose a medical condition.  There is no excuse for a doctor to share a patients information with a patients employer, they should have their license revoked.</description>

		<description>Why in the heck would anyone support Torre by buying his book in the hopes he isn&#039;t quite as big a jerk as he appears to be?</description>

		<description>Why is Torres statement about the other players calling a team mate names an indictment of Arod?

It seems to me he threw the whole team under the bus as he made the players look petty and small for calling a teammate names.</description>

		<description>Jeter is indeed grossly overpaid at 20 million a year.

You&#039;ll need more than some clown with a website saying otherwise if you want to dispute that one.</description>

		<description>Alright..then, Lets all burn incense at Saint Torre&#039;s alter...or shall I refer to him as HIS HOLINESS. I have no problem giving him credit for winning 4 WS, but he also deserves all the blame starting 2004 play off blunders (Blowing 3-0 lead to the Sox, leaving Joba in @ Cleavland, no hit and runs/bunts...to name a few).

Please.... No need to read the &quot;Holy Book&quot; ... the man is all about money. Tom Verdicci was kicked off the YES Network, so I can definitely understand his beef.</description>
