Yankees & Arod's Bonuses Topic

If you're rooting for your team, you shouldn't bash and boo your best player. Maybe it had something to do with why he struggled in the playoffs the last few years he was there.

Sez who?   Are you the arbiter of how one should root for their team?  

And, if A-Rod is that fragile mentally(and he's not or he wouldn't be a professional athlete and he damn sure wouldn't be coming back now), maybe he should be a florist.   The public eye isn't for him.

If you want someone to play well, booing them is stupid.

Shouldn't affect a PROFESSIONAL athlete.   Cheer, boo, ignore.   His job is to play ball not listen to fans.

I agree. But people are human. It doesn't mean it won't affect them. It's still a dumb thing to do.

I'm sure A-Rod heard boos before NY.  

And I disagree that it's a dumb thing to do because it might hurt the player's performance.     It might be a dumb thing to do because cupping your hands around your mouth and screaming "BOOOOOO!!!!!" is sort of silly.

If Arod ever makes it to the Hall of Fame, he's probably wearing a Yankees cap.
Unlikely, seeing how much he is hated by the Yankees organization and Yankee fans.  The HOF can't be oblivious to that.

Then he's hatless like Maddux. I doubt he wears a Seattle or Texas hat.

He had his best years in New York.

Doesn't matter.  He's a pariah in NY.  The last couple of years with ARod has been like waking up next to a fat ugly chick after an evening of heavy alcohol consumption.

If somehow he got in, he'd be hat-less.

HA.   A-Rod to HOF ship has sailed.

May as well discuss Lofton's HOF credentials.

I can see a Vet's committee type induction 30 years from now if/when people are more lenient towards the roid era.  But I wouldn't like those odds.
1/29/2015 10:48 AM
I bet he gets in at some point. Probably when Clemens and Bonds get in.
1/29/2015 10:49 AM
He was suspended after the "roid era" ended. That's a bigger-than-big no-no.
