Chris Brown is a very talented artist who works for The Journal News and LoHud.com. He’s also a big baseball fan.
Chris was gracious enough to volunteer to do some editorial cartoons for the blog from time to time. Fittingly, his first subject is a player we’ve been talking a lot about lately.

But good thing you’re not bitter Pete. Time to move on Pete, he didn’t want to be a Yankee, deal with it.
I don’t think Pete cares NYPD113th, it’s news and he reports news – unfortunately – for the next 4 or 5 months.
unfortuneately, this is going to be news for the next 4 to 5 months…
That is a great pic!!! In the hall of fame ME-Rod should be wearing a bank of america hat not the Angels or whatever team Bor-ASS sells him to.
Sorta reminds you of Reggie 30 years ago, but with fewer zero’s in the numbers thrown around.
Is that supposed to be funny?
The Twin are about to get Rolen
Twins
NYPD:
I didn’t do the drawing.
but aren’t these your feelings about arod? Pete
I know it hurts the way A-Rod managed things, making his announcement when he did and all, but in the end, we all work for money, stop whining and let the guy sign wherever he wants, who cares? this is just a game.
Didn’t say you did, but you took alotted space for it on your blog.
Arod was greedy and didn’t buy into all the “pinstripe magic” stuff, we get it. Time to move on guys
sunny615, i think this goes well beyond “news” into a more vague territory–it’s his blog, he can write what he wants, but it’s a pretty amorphous line from reporting news to bashing a player he clearly has loathed for a while on his blog.
But it’s nice to be able to bash a player for wanting to get paid again–with all the money owners have now with revenue sharing, record attendance, online media, and regional TV networks, there’s been way less venting about players’ greed. Thank A-Rod for letting us dust off everyone’s favorite moralizing story from Curt Flood until the steroid era…
I always find it amusing when people declare certain subjects dead and then spend twice as much energy trying to convince the people discussing the subject that it’s dead. If the discussion is no longer relevant, just move on yourself. Go to one of the other thousand entries on this site and comment on that story. Stop trying to convince a bunch of people interested in a discussion that the discussion they are engaged in isn’t enough to keep them interested.
most of what is being said about arod is knee-jerk sour grapes because of the year he just had. is he really any different than any other mercenary coming off a great year.
he had the best year and doesn’t care about a plaque in monument park, he’d rather have the moolah. who are we to say what he should do. we have the right to boo him sure, but personally i wouldn’t waste the energy.
Beautiful.
Keep em coming. And mail some to the Rodriguez residence while you’re at it
Great job Chris. I hope I never wind up in your crosshairs!
why so much vitriol against ARod. Obviously it’s about the money for him, and so let that be his legacy; but he was the most entertaining player we have seen in a Yankees uniform in nearly 5 decades.
The sad thing is i stuck up this jerk all year. I thought he was going to be the next Yankee great. No, the Yankees were not entitled to the subsidy from Texas, but if A-rod really wanted to be a Yankee he would have sat down with them and worked on an amazing extension. Just like Posada and Mariano wanted to resign with the Yankees at the beggining of the year, before becomming free agents, and stay with the yankees for life. That is the attitude A-rod should have had.
ARod was willing to take a pay cut to play for the Red Sox, but now he cares about money and nothing else?
Rob…..get over yourself. Not even Mo and Po are staying unless the Yanks overpay for their services at this point. For this amount of money there is a take no prisoners mentality….
People’s opinions re: Alex’s greed is based on the words and actions of his agent. Stop being so self-righteous, people. (I’m talking to those who are getting upset about Alex’s reputation and how he’s being portrayed).
But Reggie produced when it mattered
Arod thread # 5,670,921 keep’em coming

is that Chris Brown the rapper…he works for lohud.com?”
Uhhh, no! Chris Brown the entertainer is a singer – not a rapper.
Pete,
Not to complain, but I didn’t even realize this post was here until a second ago. There’s no title, so I wasn’t able to click on the link at the top of the previous thread.
Umm. Caricature looks more than a bit racist from where I sit. Pretty tasteless, even for someone who has made it their own personal mission to insult Rodriguez in any way possible every few minutes. A new low, Pete. You should be ashamed, as should the ‘artist.’
Why is everything spun into a racial issue these days? ridiculous.
lips need more purple, but overall captures the essence of slappy.
Huh?! Racist? Good god almighty, how the hell can that be construed as racist? Explain please goofball…
JBRO: What exactly is the difference between Reggie’s and A-Rod’s October legacies? Reggie was awful in the 1977 ALCS, his teammates picked up his back and the rest is history. Had Matsui or Sheffield gotten one more hit in the 2004 ALCS, A-Rod may have gone on to own the World Series. History does not afford us the luxury of apples-to-apples comparisons.
Gotta get to the post season to actually win in the post season. Without A-Rod even the match up against Boston would not have been with the Yankees having a winning record.
But fair weather fans like to bash A-Rod for looking to get paid what the market will pay him.
You “fans” would have turned your back on Babe Ruth, DiMaggio and all the others who believed they deserved to be paid their worth.
Post season or regular season, both are important. If you don’t win enough in the regular season though, then you don’t even have an outside chance. That what you “fans” want? No chance?
The A-Rod hatred is pathetic. The only reason he was probably cheered this year was because he could opt out and fairweather fans then realised what he brings to the plate.
I wish he would have stayed as “underdog” from Spring Training, got boo’ed all year and then kicked outta town. Of course, he had to go the opposite direction.
Salary caps are anti-union.
Those are Posada’s ears.
arod no more try the name gAy-WOD
(linear note) This Chris Brown – http://www.cbonline.net/
ARod will be the first player to auction his cap to the highest bidding company. ARod goes in as a JPMorgan Chase.
