Remember when he used to hit the ball out of the infield? Those days were fun.

Great look at A-Rod's current struggles although it doesn't mention that he's doing a really good job of impersonating Yuniesky Betancourt lately.

Time for him to pull a Manny?

His ego has to be taking a beating.

His ego has to be taking a beating. He's only signed through 2017!

Can you imagine how he's gonna look 6 years from now when he's 42? :rolleyes:

The Yankees sure did sign some terrible contracts. John Krasinski better get a face mask or a restraining order!

I was going to sit him today in my daily league for Chone Figgins but couldn't muster up the courage to do it.

He definitely sits for me tomorrow. I'll work the WW to try and add someone or just go with Figgins. At this point I don't care who starts at 3B. Whoever it is has to be better than A-Rod. 0-for-4 with 3 whiffs. He's worthless right now.

That worked out well, Tom.

Yeah I'm dumb. No doubt about it. I just couldn't take the poor results anymore.

He's back in my lineup tonight and he sure looks like A-Rod again. Makes you wonder why it took him so long to get back on track.

If Tom doesn't sit him he would have been 0 for 11

Although I really want those two HRs on my team stats even more.

Uncanny how cruel this game functions. We are all at the mercy of Murphy and his law. Have a player in an extended slump? Bench him (or worse yet drop him) and watch him explode. It's happened to all of us time and time again.

Thanks for biting the bullet and taking one for the team, Tom.

Sigh. [/QUOTE]How about reverse-karma? Aroid can torture us with his lack of production, then taunt us by crushing the ball after we bench him, and he still makes 30 mil annually and gets to go home to Cameron Diaz in spite of these heinous acts.

The reason for his turn is someone must have told him to stop batting with 42,000 sunflower seeds in his mouth...I'm surprised he could breath let alone concentrate...since he ditched the seeds hes started to hit....true story

Why would that seem like a good idea? Unless they came straight from BALCO...

13 runs by the Yankees.

0 hits, 0 runs, 0 RBIs for A-Rod.

I hate him again.

I'm not benching him.

But I hate him.
