Now that's what I call a White Flag! It would be easier if you just recognize and acknowledge a reasonable statement or two here and there instead of having a grudge and bias because you have this weird need to always be right on all issues when dealing with certain posts from certain posters. It's okay man, it's only baseball talk. Lol

That's your opinion.....I would be willing to wager the man is respected and NOT disliked by the majority of his peers on a one to one, man to man basis in the clubhouse, and on the field , which is HIS workplace which is probably more than I can say about many other people.
John Niese wasn't exactly impersonating Sandy Koufax. Very hittable with a fastball about as good/bad as CC's. Lmao. Would like to see how he fairs pitching his games playing in the A.L. East. And he should consider getting a "nose job".
...fuck ARod. ...and no, most of his peers don't like him because the membership of the MLBPA wanted him kicked out of the union last year but were prevented from doing so only because of their own by-laws. ...the ONLY reason this POS is still playing instead of being in jail is because the Feds cut a deal with him. ...again, fuck him.
^^^and rick, that's the problem I have with some who cannot understand why I refuse to cheer for ARod simply because he wears a Yankee uniform. I wonder how many of his supporters would still support him if he played for any other team instead of the Yanx?...not many, if any, I would guess. ...but some people's response would be "but he IS playing for the Yanx" and therefore I should pull for him...and therein lies the problem. I don't like the POS on pure principle and so why should I compromise my principles purely based on which team he plays for?...sorry, not gonna happen.
Fully understood Ron, I mean if he singles in the winning run, great. I'll be happy that the Yankees won but...if it were up to me the jerk would never wear a uniform again.
I've seen people cheer for bigger criminals. I'm not looking for a role model, just a guy who helps my team win. If he's a real criminal who killed, raped or beat somebody, different story. As for valuing what other ballplayers think about him? Who gives a shit. If you're liked by your teammates and make your team better, works for me here. Those same non-Yankee assholes constantly voted Jeter the most overrated in the league. Sure he was overrated by some Yanks fans but most overrated in the league? Tells you all you need to know. Not judging anyone's stance here, I'm fine with what anyone thinks and if they feel that strongly - I just laugh at the common knucklehead who will boo him then high five as he's rounding the bases.
I would have so much more respect for the ownership if they did the right thing, even if it meant cutting a $61M check. Respect the hell out of the Angels and taking a moral stand. Anyone who cheers Aroid must be a dispicable human being.
Seeing flashbulbs go off when he hits #660 is going to disgust the hell out of me which is why I'm hoping it happens on the road where he'll get booed.
...that's partly what I was getting at. I mean after all the lies, law suits, and the circus of last year, how can people just look the other way purely because he plays for the Yanx? ...needless to say, I'm not as forgiving as some.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion on Arod and are justified in whatever that opinion is. He's helping the Yankees win so I'm not sure what else can be said and done.
...^^^ like you said, everyone is entitled to their opinion and for me, I don't care what he does, I will not cheer for him.
I just learned that I'm a despicable person for rooting for Arod to help the Yanks win. I'm all over the place on the moral board though; I've refused to watch the NFL for years now because it has always looked the other way with real criminals (rampant with wife abusers and sprinkled with rapists). Not sure how you support a league willing to do that. It sounds like a lot of you guys probably boycott the NFL as well.
