Comments on: Damon out at least two games, likely more http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/07/04/damon-out-at-least-two-games-likely-more/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:29:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Annie Savoy http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/07/04/damon-out-at-least-two-games-likely-more/comment-page-4/#comment-423764 Annie Savoy Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:50:54 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/07/04/damon-out-at-least-two-games-likely-more/#comment-423764 “Sam Borden wonders why Alex Rodriguez always wants more attention” Sam Borden is one of the very few sportswriters to present the Arod situation for what it is - Arod’s everlasting need for publicity - of any kind. He has been a detriment and a distraction of his own making to every team he’s been on and NONE of them has won a World Series while he was on those teams. I don’t want to hear about stats either, they are meaningless. The Yankees play for World Series Titles and The Yankees won’t win a Series while he is here either. He is so busy being “ARod” - the me first, look at me, I’m a great superstar, that he ignores his real job, playing for a baseball TEAM which is paying him millions of dollars and getting no return on their investment. And it is now obvious that he cares nothing at all about his wife, his marriage or those two innocent little girls. Just go away, Alex, please and take your sleazy lifestyle with you. “Sam Borden wonders why Alex Rodriguez always wants more attention”
