So when I wrote this I fully expected this discussion to
never really come up, not anytime soon anyway. This article was written more as
a jab at the retiring Red Sox DH more so than to Alex but now that Alex will
play his final game of his career against the Tampa Bay Rays I feel like we
should revisit this article because now it has meaning. Now Alex is leaving to
become a special advisor and member of the Yankees front office and his playing
days are all but numbered so just in case the Alex Rodriguez farewell tour
never comes, one last time, I’ll give him one today. Enjoy.

Who didn’t see the framed Centaur picture joke coming? If you didn’t, you should have. Centaur framed photo etched in gold. Either that or the picture of him kissing himself in the mirror. Why not? You have to laugh at yourself in this world.
On a serious note though I think Alex always wanted to be a true leader, a true Yankee and a captain. Give the man the captain for a day. Yes, I know how some feel about him and yes I know this will be unpopular as a decision but it’s just for a day. Let him know what it feels like. Especially if he has a 2016 and 2017 season like he had in 2015 both on and off the field, in and out of the clubhouse.
Alex donated his $6 million home run milestone bonus to charity in 2015 when he tied Willie Mays on the all-time home run list inside Fenway Park. Alex showed a good faith gesture to the team and proved that he could follow the Yankee way. Give it back, give it back in a donation to his children’s softball team or the Boys and Girls Club or something.
Finally I would give Alex a 2017 World Series ring, wait…. He’s going to give that to us.
ALEX RODRIQUEZ....What would I do if I was him ?
ReplyDeleteHe should be playing every game up to this Friday's ending. HE EARNED IT !
But.....he is not in the line-up again, as this team strives
to finish at .500. He is being made clown like.
Hicks can play, but a Hall of Fame veteran must sit. Insulting !
After twenty something years, in a Hall of Fame career, he is now
ushered out the door like some washed up call-up.
Forget the PED stuff, Ortiz did the same, and then forgot how to speak english, when questioned. He will get a Jeter ride to the end. Screw him.
If I was Alex.....I would leave my uniform on the floor, and walk out.
Say nothing. Catch a plane, and go home. Head up.
Let management explain to the sold out high priced crowd...on Friday.
Walk out, and never turn around.
ONCE MORE , REGARDING ORTIZ....and his racist bobblehead doll.
DeleteThe Red Socks threw away Ortiz' dolls because they looked
offensive ? Maybe they looked real ?
It was what it was....Ortiz does not resemble Brad Pitt.
Maybe his stupid doll should resemble Ted Williams?
Or, Yastrzemski, Or, one of the Back Street Boys ? Idiots.
He looks like Shrek, what was he expecting? Miracles?
