This looks to be one of the best line-ups overall that the Yanks have put on the field this year.

NEW YORK YANKEES NYY TRADE RUMORSBlog at WordPress.com. Theme: Mystique by digitalnature.
I read a story on Bleacher Report a day or so ago, about a player on our team. Then I went back and tried to dig up other things I and (very) few media types had written of this player. The more I dig up, the more I have a change of heart for this player.
Alex Rodriguez is the name…the guy everyone loves to HATE.
When I had written about him being from the other side of the tracks, I should have written…MY side of the tracks. He was raised in the (dirt) poor section of Florida etc., never knew the finer things of life and as for being PC he probably thought PC was a band or singing group.
His style of playing baseball was one I understand very well…Play as hard as you can, use every trick not outlawed by the baseball rule book. If it isn’t written in the book, it isn’t a rule!
Yet, there is one line never to be crossed…Never ever cheat!
He crossed that line back in 2003-4 and part of 05. I can never forget that fact.
There can be NO excuse for what he did but there are reasons. For example, I will pick a name Fisherman, that ok, good!
Fisherman is a great baseball player, considered one of the bast of all time. He gets traded to Texas and after seeing the other players shooting-up, he feels all the pressure of having that huge contract. “Hay, everyone is doing it, pitchers and batters, I better get with the program”!
(If anyone out there can’t understand the pressure, you have not lived a very exciting life, although it may have been just what you wanted)
I reported on how when he came to the Yankees, Joe T and the click did not accept him into the Yankee family, because of what he said about one of the players. Joe was a very good Instigator and let out things (to his buddys in the media) about A-Rod that were not true…the storys always were: “it has been said”, “I heard it said”, “I heard it whispered” etc,. we all know how it works.
Think about it;
He comes to the Yankees, rated as the best SS in baseball right!? Does he even ask to be the SS like others would have done? No, he says, “I’ll play 3rd base”!
When he was hurt, did he have his buddys make sure every fan knew it? NO, he didn’t say anything, he man’d-up and tried the best he could.
When Melkey and Cano were partying too much, who stepped in and took control of them, had them try to keep up with him and his work-outs? A-Rod.
When Latinos come to the club, who steps up and helps them? A-Rod
When the Yankees have events like make a wish and others, who were the guys most likely to do more than have a photo shoot only, then leave? Not, A-Rod, he D-Rob, Swisher, Mo and Cano among a few, were there to the end and more!
Don’t missunderstand…this is not to forgive what A-Rod did, just a little bit of light on a dismal mistake of a guy that made a wrong choice in life, but…no matter what anyone says about him…He is a STAND-UP GUY!
Alex, the stand up guy? Kenny, 12,000 words, to finish with that?..a stand up guy? Alex is a nice guy. Should play with Greinke, in Los Angeles. What happens when Irish come to the club? Does he help them? Does he hire them as day laborers? Your rant is a maze. Keep-on, brother.
Patrick.. I could have gone on with a lot more stuff that fans never hear of.
A stand-up guy is one who will stand-up and be counted, without looking for the headlines as some players do…and care less what you or I think of them. They are at peace with themselves!
Here is your standup guy in action……
Cheater
Liar
Infidel
Thy name is Aroid!
Almost everyone that has met Aroid says he is a big phony who wants to be loved but is not likable.
Arod has the clubhouse attendant put his toothbrush on the right side of the sink after the game. He also has the attendant squeeze toothpaste on the toothbrush.
PS. No other Yankee has the attendants set up their toothbrush.
Aroid also has the attendant get him coffee and arrange his clothes in the order he will be putting them on.
AND…he smokes cigars, and has impure thoughts about blondes.
Not only impure thoughts but was caught cheating on his then wife, multiple times.
Aroid was referred to as B*tch Tits by other Yankee teammates in 2006/2007. His breasts had grown consistent with steroid usage. ( he hit 54 hrs in 2007 a Herculean feat considering LF and Left center in YS).
Standup Guy? Aroid? Oh you mean when he was standing up in the dugout flirting with models in the stands DURING A PLAYOFF GAME!
Patrick…sense when have the Irish needed help? The Irish need; a good women, a good fight, a good drink and room to roam…I have had all but the drink! I guess I am truly blessed. lol
Kenny….I always smile at your comments. Buy your wife some flowers today….for putting up with you. Later.
WANT TO SEE…Youkilis, in pinstripes? Sort of? …….over at River Ave(now), they have a photo of Youkilis in Whites Sox pinstripes. Use your imagination. Also!…no beard thing.
