2/17/09 - On Fantasy and Arod
2009-02-17 20:23:00 There's not much happening in the sports world except for Arod so my thoughts have been on fantasy baseball, my strategy, and how Arod's headline status will affect the Yankees.
Tuesday Headlines/Live Blogging The ARod PC
2009-02-17 14:56:00 Who was supposed to have the talk with Geovany about his eyebrows? Lou to try Soriano in middle-of-the-order spots From the Daily Herald: "We've got a combination of Derrek, Bradley, Ramirez," Piniella began. "You know, I'm not going to (rule) out the possibility of throwing Soriano into that mix, too. We'll see how it works out. We can play around with that this spring." Soriano has been the Cubs' principal leadoff hitter the last two years, and Piniella repeatedly has cited his team winning two division titles with Soriano there. Of course, Soriano has not performed well in the playoffs, as the Cubs were swept in the division series in 2007 and 2008. "We're going to try it a little bit and see," Piniella said of Soriano hitting somewhere in the middle. "I talked to Soriano at the (Cubs) convention. He said, 'Lou, you can do whatever you want.' So, we'll see. "To me, he's still my leadoff hitter. I love him in the leadoff spot. I like him in the leadoff spot. We can see ...

ARod?s Message To Manny
2008-06-02 02:17:00 Two weeks ago, New York Yankees fans became irritated with Alex Rodriguez after they found out he had taped a congratulatory message to Boston Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez for when he hit his 500th career homer. As y’all know by now, Manny hit his 500th home run last night against the Orioles. Well here for ...

Arod to the DL
2008-04-30 19:37:00 Alex Rodriguez was placed on the DL today with a strained right quadriceps. I think that’s in your leg. (Not your leg obviously, but Arod’s… I mean, we all have quadriceps, but Arod’s is the one that is injured. Anyway…) You can’t do anything, but place him on your disabled list.

ARod Requests Trade To Mets

Did You See AROD on 60 Minutes?
2007-12-17 12:25:00 Good Monday morning, a wickedly cold one here in north central Connecticut. Katie Couric interviewed Alex Rodriguez on the CBS show "60 Minutes" last night, and I thought it was a balanced interview with fair questions abounding. AROD came off as ALMOST likeable, and I think, for the most part, he was honest. Katie Couric? She has always irritated me, for some reason or reasons, but those are not important. Not here and not now. If you missed it, you can catch the entire interview online. The 21st century has brought that capability. Click on the title of this post. I found the exact link, and I'll remind you later! On the same subject, former Red Sox Brendan Donnelly, whose option was declined by the Sox the day before the Mitchell report was released, said this after being one of those fools named in the report...."Former Red Sox reliever Brendan Donnelly denied claims in the Mitchell Report that he used performance-enhancing drugs. In the report, the culmination of a 20-month in...
AROD, MO and Mike Lowell
2007-11-20 11:56:00 AROD has won the AL MVP award, and deservedly so, collecting all but two of the first place votes. His stats dwarfed all others, and the only thing a baseball fan can say is that the voters got this one right.Mariano Rivera has decided to rejoin the New York Yankees in what ended up to be a three year deal worth $45 million. That makes him the highest paid reliever in all of baseball. The Yanks would have been in trouble without him, and they did the right thing (for them) by signing him. Me? I'd rather have Paps...any day, any way, any time.And last but certainly not least, the Boston Red Sox have agreed in principle with Mike Lowell on a three year deal worth $37.5 million, which matches the annual payout of the last minute four year deal offered by the Phillies. Here are a couple facts about the deal and what teammate Curt Schilling had to say...."Lowell, who hit the free agent market last Tuesday, had been seeking a four-year deal, and ESPN reported Monday that the Phillies mad...
AROD Negotiates WITHOUT Boras...Schill On Lowell
2007-11-15 12:02:00 Today on this early Thursday morning, all signs are pointing towards AROD returning to the New York Yankees. For a decade. He and his wife traveled to Florida to meet with the Steinbrenners, and it looks like there is a 10 year deal in the works that would pay him roughly $27 million per year. That's $270 million shekals! A quarter of a billion smackers!! My goodness. A $25 million incentive will be built into it when (not if) he passes Bonds, Ruth and Aaron to become the all-time home run king. If he does go back to the Yankees, it might (accent on "might") mean there is a better chance that Mike Lowell will return to the Red Sox, but I don't think the Sox will EVER give him the four year deal he's looking for. And that doesn't make Mike Lowell a villain for holding out for what he wants. Curt Schilling put it best yesterday, on WEEI radio. Here's part of what he said...."I really, honestly, don't want to see this turn into a segment of people against Mike Lowell or Mike Lowe...
ARod?s First Choice: Boston Red Sox
2007-11-05 08:00:00 Somehow I missed this on Sunday morning, probably because it was a 5 page story and I only read the first two pages (Yes I know, lesson learned) from the Boston Globe. If Alex Rodriguez could handpick the team he plays for, Boston might well be No. 1 on his list. According to a source who ...

ARod & Scott Boras Are Insane
2007-11-02 22:18:00 According to a report by Buster Olney at ESPN.com, Scott Boras and Alex Rodriguez wanted a $350 million offer just to talk. The Yankees were ready to offer a 5 year $150 million contract extension. Put that on top of the $82 million he would have received had he stayed, the Yankees would have been ...

AROD STAY AWAY!!!
2007-11-01 20:45:00 After Arod opted out right in the middle of the Red Sox clinching victory, the rumors began to swirl on where the heck he'd end up. Two of those possibilities? The Red Sox and the Mets. As a fan of both, I say PLEASE STAY AWAY! First off, let me say how rude and terrible the timing of his announcement was. Whether it was his faults or Boris, ARod has a plan to get as much publicity as possible and have his ego screaming out to America once again. Once again, Arod proved how much of a jerk he was and how he believes he's bigger than the game. This was a night for the Red Sox, the Rockies, and Baseball. This was a night where the Red Sox players, none as talented as Arod, all experienced a title, something Arod has never done. I believe he will never get one, because of his chemistry problems he brings to the table. He has a huge ego and psychological issues in big clutch moments like the playoffs. I am so glad Arod never ...

Newfound Respect for Arod...Sort of PS - Register at the new site!
2007-10-29 22:10:00 Yesterday was a bittersweet day of baseball for me. I was rooting for the Rockies to beat the Red Sox and try and make a series out of things. This was obviously a disappointment. However, upon finding out that Arod had turned down the Yankees, I was ecstatic and almost proud of him. I thought it was so cool that he was turning down the evil empire to go and play somewhere else. The only problem is in the way in which he did it.The Yankees were willing to pay Rodriguez the highest salary in history and couldn't even get him to the negotiating table, after his four seasons with the team. I truly admire the fact that he could step away from the money like that, all be it he is financially secure right now (to say the least). However, I agree completely with Buster Olney, the 4th game of the world series was definitely not the appropriate time to make this announcement. This came off to me as a real headline-grabbing, arrogant move to me. The way he did this was totally classless....

ARod Opts Out
2007-10-29 04:16:00 Wanted: Dead or Alive. But preferably alive and able to play SS. Scott Boras, classy as ever, chose to annouce ARod's decision to opt out of his contract with the Yanks during Game 4 of the WS. Now I guess we'll see if Cashman, having set the price for ARod somewhere in the $30 million/year range, is true to his word that they Yanks won't renegotiate with ARod. Somehow, I'm not sure this will be the case. More developments as they occur.
ARod Opts Out of His Contract
2007-10-29 04:03:00 Scott Boras has informed the New York Yankees that ARod has decided to opt out of his contract. You can read about it here from Jon Heyman of SI as I want to watch the end of this game and not really talk about ARod right now.

The ARod Diary
2007-10-09 19:00:00 "One of the reasons I came here was to help this team win a world championship," Rodriguez said. "I have failed at that. Without a championship, everything else is just numbers." What would a Cubs' offseason be without at least one blog diary rife with rampant, unfounded speculation? I've been hearing a lot of off-hand comments around here lately about how great this lineup would look with ARod in it (Proggy, Abe, Diggity). I know there is much hope that he'll flip NYC the collective finger and run sobbing back into the arms of his "surrogate father," our own Sweet Lou. So it's time to put your . . . words. . . where your mouth is. Where do YOU think ARod will wind up? Oh really? Brave enough to go on the record, are you? I personally think he's going to opt out and be re-signed by the Yankees. They're the only ones with that kind of money. Then again, I said the same thing about Soriano, so what do I know? Do I like ARod? No. I think he's a phony and a headcase and that his ...
ARod and the Mets ?
2007-10-05 18:39:00 Alex Rodriguez could option out of his contract and still stay in NY. If ARod was interested, would the Mets listen? To a future first ballet Hall of Famer with the most explosive bat in the game and gold glove caliber defense of course they would. The problem would be where to play him and who moves. There is only one position open and thats at second base, otherwise either ARod or someone else would have to move. Not that I think it's going to happen but just for the fun of it here are the options:ARod decides he's getting older and wants to play first base to save his body from the wear and tear and Carlos Delgado is traded for pitching. Luis Castillo back at second.David Wright convinces the team he can play second, ARod comes aboard and plays third.ARod is signed but only to play short and we once again see Reyes moved to second (rem. Kaz signing 05). The team concerned over all of Wright's throwing errors moves him to firstbase while signing Arod to play third and trading D...

My World In Sports: Big Night For Baseball as I Return Home
2007-08-06 00:03:00 Now, back from vacation the sports world has given me plenty of lemons to make lemonade. So what else but "My World In Sports" to recap the last 24 hrs. Vacation was great but it's good to be back. Now lets get down to business. Bonds is cheered in San Diego Well most of you readers know where I stand on the subject. I'm sure you also all know that Bonds tied Hank Aaron as the all-time HR King last night. I was a little surprised that they cheered rather than booed in SD. But I'm happy for him I guess...Even though it may be hard to dispute that he didn't cheat. Even happier for the 33-year old plummer who caught the ball who probably will never have to fix a toilet ever again! Look,It's inevitably going to happen so I hope he can break this record as quick and painlessly as possible. Although I'm guessing that they'll wait and try to get him to do it in SF. We know Selig is going to be there now so I just hope he just hits it ASAP so we can kind of stop talking about it a l...

TSF's 2007 MLB Midseason Awards
2007-07-09 02:29:00 Here are my midseason awards. I reserve the right to change these by the end of the season. MVP AL: Alex Rodriguez - NYYMagglio Ordonez is the next best choice but it should be a no-brainer. Without Arod the Yankees would be utterly pathetic. He had arguably the best April in baseball history and has driven in about 20% of the Yankees' runs.NL: Prince Fielder - MILI might be a Brewers fan and I might be a homer but I think Fielder makes a great case for NL MVP thus far. The Brewers are winning and he's carrying them and holding them up in first place. Matt Holliday is a guy a lot of other bloggers might go with but I think because of what the Brewers have done in comparison to the Rockies I gotta go with Prince. PS -can't wait to get me one of theseROOKIE OF THE YEAR AL: Daisuke Matsuzaka - BOS Doesn't seem fair that he is so much older and experienced than other rookies but he meets the definition of rookie by the rulebook and therefore he has definitely been the AL ROY thus fa...

Mrs. Arod Drops F-Bomb
2007-07-02 19:46:00 The wife of Alex Rodriguez made headlines again today for wearing an obscene shirt with the words F*** You clearly written on it. Mrs. Arod had been in the headlines earlier this year when Arod was caught cheating on her. For more information read the New York Post Article Well it appears Mrs. Arod can no longer handle all the pressure that Arod has brought her in the city of New York. This could be dedicated at the public, the media, Arod, or just the world in general. Who knows. Maybe she has just gone crazy. I wonder if Arod gave her that shirt on Mother's Day. She is so fond of wearing it in the public with her child in her arms. Maybe this will turn into the Bensons and the Yanks will have to get rid of them. Hah, I wish that was the case. But I do believe Arod and his dumb wife will opt out after the 07 season and hopefully they'll be out of our lives for ever. Good luck on the West Coast you 2! P.S....

Take Your Pick: Who Can a Fan Like Me Start to Root For?
2007-06-18 08:08:00 So, Barry Bonds hit his 748th career homer putting him 7 shy of Hank Aaron for what is probably the most heralded record in all of sports. I hate Barry Bonds and if you are a repeat reader you probably know that already. Anyways, I am starting to come to the realization that this is probably going to happen and instead of killing myself when it does I decided that I need a guy to root for. I need to find the next player who is going to beat Barry's steroid-injected ass (pun intended) in the HR standings. So take your pick and help me figure out who is the going to be the best guy to take the record away from Barry.Personally Arod is my guy. You have Arod at 492 having hit his 27th HR of the season tonight against the Mets. Arod currently ranks 24th all-time but in my opinion probably has the best foreseeable chance to surpass Bonds of all current players. He is 32 years-old right now and if you disregard this year's 27 HRs he needs 8 seasons with a rough average of 36 dingers a se...

Missing the Bigger Picture with ARod/Clemens [David Stefanini]
2007-06-14 16:27:00 As I was driving to work today, I was listening to sports radio. One of the things I heard got me thinking. The broadcaster said Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens are chasing down great All-Time Records and the media isn't paying much attention to it. He said how the real home run record is 61 games by Roger Maris, which ARod is on pace to come very close to. The broadcaster also said the true record for most wins in a career is the great Warren Sphan with 363. Most people see the home run record as being 73, accomplished by Barry Bonds. The most wins in a career is held by Cy Young. The difference with Cy Young is, he pitched in a era where the most home runs hit in a season was 10. This bring me to my point; is it fair to look down on Bond's and Young's record because one may have cheated and the other pitched in a pitchers era? I think in the case of Barry Bonds, he has the record and will until someone hits 74. You are innocent until proven guilty, sure Bonds may have cheated ...
