In Game Comment

For all those professional commentators who wonder why Yankees fans don't warm up to AROD, consider that he has not only become a low-light reel of throwing errors, but that he can be counted on to commit them when they count most. He just threw the ball away allowing Chavez to go to third, whence he scored on a little ground out. The A's get a gift run, to tie the game mind you, courtesy of Err-Rod.

By the way, the other night when Joe Morgan was doing what has become standard issue AROD apologia, he expressed his incredulity at fan's attitudes toward Arod by citing his current stats, beginning with a 287 batting average. I mean how can they complain, he's hitting 287, that was Morgan's position. How can they complain? For 25,000, 000 per annum, why that's only 40 points below Mike Lowell, 30 points below Kevin Youlkilis, 30 points below Trot Nixon, and 20 points or so below Mark Loretta. I mean who are we to repine with production like that. Didn't this guy used to be a consistent 325 hitter. Didn't he used to be the classic 5 tool player, even if he never worried anyone in the clutch? Now he can't throw and he can't hit for average. The buck went up and the bang went down. That's always cause for complaint.
