You’re right on ARod though, I like seeing him get some redemption after the way the media has treated him for so long. He might be a strange guy off the field or whatever, but when he steps foot on a baseball field he’s one of the greatest of all time, and it’s a damn shame he got stuck at 3B on the Yankees and butchered by the media. The man deserves his due.

Guys a horrible role model for kids.

In all fairness, the guy is simply the best player in the game right now. The fact that Mainstream Media does not like him much tells me he is doing a lot of things right. Like achieving. Like putting up monster numbers. Like being the most disruptive lineup presence since Barry Bonds. Like being the best player in the game. Like not playing the fool for television just because they are too lazy to come up with decent story lines themselves. Like enjoying the game like Jeff Kent said.

Just when everybody thought it was safe for the hypocrites to come out from under their rocks again, we’ve Alex Rodriguez dominating the post season like no other since Barry Bonds. Just the thought that:

1. Its in NYC, right under Hubie Selig’s nose.

2. Its right in front of the front running media suckups like Lupica, Verducci and all the rest of the Bonds haters and naysayers.

3. Did I happen to mention that Rodriguez, the worst person in the world next to Barry Bonds is dominating the playoffs in New York City? And rubbing it in the faces of the self-righteous indignant family values police?

And watching the Dodgers pay tribute to Brian Sabean’s offense against the hack Phillies bullpen was nothing short of sweet poetic justice. Their pen imploded just like we talked about earlier in the year. That said, as far as the Dodgers have to get beyond “being competitive” and to the next level of “winning”, just looking at the way the Giants were dominated by the Dodgers this season seems to show us just how deficient the Giants roster really is. They really are just Cain, Lincecum, Sandoval and baseball’s version of body putty.

He doesn’t do the little things! He doesn’t play the game the right way!

This can’t be happening.
