		<description>The fact that a complete and total retard like wangkee agrees with you, only proves how far from reality you really are PETE!.

This sh!t is really getting f&#039;cking tiring. It&#039;s bad enough I gotta deal with the retards like the wanker, but for a so-called smart &quot;yankee&quot; guy like yourself to fall for this bullsh!t is simply too much.

Obviously this underdog nonsense has an agenda. So at least now I know how full of sh!t you really are.</description>

		<description>Thank you Peter for exposing underdog&#039;s agenda.  There&#039;s no question underdog needs an alibi when he decides to leave NY (via waive of NTC or by opting out).   Underdog wants to run away and pin the blame on fans and media rather than assume a shred of accountability.  

I know you&#039;re a Yankee fan Peter and you blog with integrity.  You&#039;re not in this for the popularity or the profit or the attention.  You love the team and it shows.  This article was written by a writer just as bright and astute as ever.  The fans who can&#039;t grasp your continued understanding of this team are in denial about Arod&#039;s temporary status here.  They won&#039;t change their tone until he&#039;s gone so don&#039;t expect civility.  But you nailed it Peter.  Underdog is staging his own exit.  

Another thing..fan reaction should not determine Underdog&#039;s decision to depart because his performance is a precursor to fan reaction.  That&#039;s just the way it is here in NY.  Fans are &quot;tough&quot; because we want to win, yet Underdog seems to melt in the most crucial situations.  Fans didn&#039;t boo him for winning an MVP...they booed him for choking in the playoffs when it counts.  I know...it&#039;s all our fault he failed to collect a single RBI in the last 12 playoff games, spanning 3 years of postseason baseball.

Blame us.  Blame the media.  It&#039;s all a big conspiracy against the little innocent baseball hero named Alex Rodriguez.  

PS

I&#039;m dying to know the name of the player who commented on Arod&#039;s opt out clause as if it were no sweat.  LOL.  Love my Yankees.</description>

		<description>I mean they didn&#039;t improve to become a better team. Just look at how the Rangers and Mariners are doing now. Unless you are telling me that not making the playoffs is an improvement.</description>

		<description>Randyhater,

You are wrong again. Very wrong indeed. You should have learned from your mistakes!

1. Joe Torre&#039;s in-game management is horrible.(bullpen, bullpen, bullpen...)

2. A-Rod is definitely a difference maker.

3. The teams that have dumbed him actually didn&#039;t really improved.</description>

		<description>Angel,

I&#039;m sure there are plenty of players around the league (and their fans) who are jealous and resentful of Jeter&#039;s success, but the notion that he&#039;s vindictive and a bad captain started when A-rod got here and will end when he leaves.

Likewise, plenty of Yankee fans (myself included) question Joe&#039;s in-game managing, but who besides A-Rod (and Raul Mondesi) thinks he&#039;s unsupportive or a backstabber?

A-Rod makes enemies everywhere he goes and the idea that everyone in Seattle, Texas and here is wrong and he&#039;s right seems unlikely to me.

Bottom line, despite the gaudy numbers, the guys never been a difference maker on a winning club, and the teams that have dumped him, notwithstanding what&#039;s being predicted here, actually improved dramatically after he left.

Anyway, keep up the good work.  It&#039;s nice knowing some here still realize it&#039;s all in good fun.</description>

		<description>Ah I can&#039;t wait to yell at some monkey suit wearing asshole for booing Underdog when he only goes 1-4 with an RBI and a BB.</description>
