A-rod has seen his ups and downs in the big apple. I don't know how i feel about him yet and its been a couple years even. My biggest problem with him is that when you get paid that much you need to come through. In the regular season he puts up outrageous stats wins MVP awards, but when it comes to October he always finds away to choke. He wonders why he got moved over to third and Jeter got to stay at short....I know that A-rod has more natural talent then Jeter and it hurts me to say it but its the truth. The thing about Jeter is he is consistent. He always has and he always will. When he gets the nickname as Mr. October he must be doing something right. Which that name is fitting for him since that's what was his idol Reggie Jackson's nickname. I don't know if it hasn't hit A-rod yet, but before New Yorkers accept you, you gotta come through in October when it matters. Yes, he helps us get there which is helpful, but when you hit .350 in the regular season and then in the postseason you hit .117 that's not going to help your popularity.
As most of you have probably heard Joe Torres new book The Yankee Years he talks about how bench coach Larry Bowa would say everyday so whats it going to be today A-rod or A-Fraud? I think that's really hilarious but at the same time i feel bad for Alex. The mega contract he has is kind of setting himself up for failure. But i think the A-fraud is quite clever because sometimes it does feel like he is a fraud for how poorly he preforms in the postseason, so its like hes robing the Yankees front office of money. I do feel bad for the kid though. I have been to post season games and regular season games and its tough to see him get booed. As much as people think us Yankee fans are fair weather fans, we really aren't. We are just passionate and we except our players to preform well. I will admit that i have thrown just at the TV at home during the postseason when he has failed to preform to his level but i have never once gave up on him. It's just not acceptable with me when he does because when i do get to the point where i throw things i get sent out to the garage by myself to watch the game because my mom cant deal with me when it get like that she said.
So one word of advice for you A-rod lets make the 2009 a good season the WHOLE season not just the month of April and July..you don't want the press to start calling you A-fraud do you?
