Plunk him in the ass with a change-up just for fun and old times sake.I think glove to the face would be appropriate.

Agreed. It wouldn't be the same. I would be ashamed if they didn't boo him out of the house. Big difference between him and Jeter. You respected Mo Rivera and Jeter (I was at both of their last games at fenway) because they played the right way. ARod cheated the game.If any Red Sox fans cheer him after over a dozen years of booing him they are hypocrites. Simple as that.
The largest organized late arrival in sports history would be sweet: everyone hang out in the concourses until just after the first pitch.Listen, we boo'd Magic, we boo'd Jeter... you can boo a guy and then ultimately give him his due respect as he walks away. I don't have any trouble with that at all. But this guy deserves none of that. NONE.
It was a loosey-goosey era when A-Rod used in 01 to 03. Highly competitive athletes at the highest level of their profession trying to keep up with each other while the Powers That Be largely ignored it.Agreed. It wouldn't be the same.

"He didn't murder anyone." - Johnny Damonthe guys sins are really down to being an entitled douche.
Just curious about why you mention 01-03 only.It was a loosey-goosey era when A-Rod used in 01 to 03. Highly competitive athletes at the highest level of their profession trying to keep up with each other while the Powers That Be largely ignored it.
I seriously doubt this was the only period in which he usedIt was a loosey-goosey era when A-Rod used in 01 to 03.
You mean off the supposed anonymous survey testing in which at that time there were no rules on "popping for something"?You know who else popped for something in 03?
While he did have his douche moments let's also not forget that he would have taken less money to come to the Sox and that he was the good guy during the Jeter Temper Tantrum over who would play SSRegardless of what happens five minutes from now, being a Red Sox fan since 1966 and MFY hater since 1975 (in the late 60's/early to mid 70's they stunk on ice; they came back as an organization thanks to the advent of free agency), this guy is by far the most hateable Yankee ever for me and that's saying something.
My most memorable A-Rod moment is him standing on second base in game 6 of the 2004 ALCS pleading his case and doing a running motion claiming that is how the ball got knocked out, not him swiping at it with those foolish looking Mickey Mouse white oven mitts.
None of his accomplishments mean shit to me; he's a fraud who thinks his shit is ice cream.
He can't retire fast enough.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out you stooge.

The average ticket price for Arod's final #Yankes game has increased by more than 500% to $456.76, according to http://tiqiq.com
Yea it was a joke.You know that almost certainly means via ticketholders, not via NY, right, rem? I'm starting to worry a little about you.
The guy is a perpetual liar and manipulator. He uses his charisma to get people like you on his side when he speaks to the media. I'm not falling for his bullshit. Every hardship he's ever had in the game of baseball he's brought upon himself.Yea it was a joke.
I just can't hate the guy anymore. He didn't touch children, he didn't drunk drive kill a person, he didn't assault his wife then unload a pistol into a wall, he didn't throw an elderly man on to the ground (field or clubhouse)..
He was a goofy dude who was insanely great at baseball and loved the sport immensely who used steroids. Get over it.

you think insanely self-absorbed clueless narcissism combined with overwhelming neediness is charismatic ? good lordAll my dislike for charismatic pathological liars is currently tied up by Donald Trump.
I would only like the Fens to give him a standing O each at bat in order to make him cry.If any Red Sox fans cheer him after over a dozen years of booing him they are hypocrites. Simple as that.

You write better Felger fanfic than anyone in the media forum. This is verbatim what I expect between 2-6 tomorrow afternoon.I just can't hate the guy anymore.

He had to be talking about the other guyCould be something to do with being the greatest player of his generation or 2nd best if you count him and Bonds as contemporaries
And the happy children of Nicaragua get the ARod 700 Club T-shirts for XMasIt sounds like he is going to be unconditionally released and then he will sign a new contract to remain with the organization as an advisor, etc.
As such, I think he collects all of his money.
However, by not reaching the 700 HR milestone, the Yankees do save money on that.
He had to be talking about the other guy
He puts out a smooth, cool demeanor to the media which is totally false. He's an insecure narcissist.Alex is not charismatic. He is more of a try hard
Call me when someone busted for PEDs tells the truth.
Both of these are pretty big.Wow. So all they get out of this is a roster spot and the luxury of not having ARod in the clubhouse.
This is where I'm at, except I'm not sure about his love for the game. The most salient aspect of A*Rod's public persona is his phoniness; I'd be hard-pressed to say I know anything about his internal thought processes or emotions -- but as you say, that's a trivial matter in the grand scheme of things.Yea it was a joke.

C'mon man. You forgot about me already? I scared the shit out of you guys for like a decade.
[In 2007] Pettitte verified McNamee's claim, admitting to using the HGH on two occasions in 2002, as it was meant to help heal an injury, and not to enhance his performance....He denied any further usage of HGH during his career; he also denied use of steroids or any other performance-enhancing drug.[74]
On February 13, 2008, in an affidavit made public as part of a hearing before the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Oversight and Governmental Reform, Pettitte admitted to additional injections of HGH twice in one day in 2004, using HGH obtained via prescription for his seriously ill father.
Both are narcissistic but ARod was, until relatively recently, competent at his profession.He had to be talking about the other guy
Yeah, b/c he's an idiot, wanting to make a statement even if it means putting a man on base. That's about as idiotic as imagining the RS giving him a great pitch to hit during the upcoming series as a good-bye gift.Heh, Ryan Dempster saying on MLBN that of course he threw at A-Rod intentionally.
