You cannot with the same mouth say that it is OK to plow over a catcher in a meaningless spring training game and whine about Rodriguez trying to either knock the ball out of the asshole's glove (isn't that why they plow catchers and slide hard?) or distract someone trying to catch a popup. Whiny envious bitches.

Heh, that was hardly worth the wait. Your sports arguments suck almost as badly as your politics ones. Almost...

No one even made that argument about running over the catcher at the spring training game. Strawman argument. You fail. Besides, you cannot even begin to compare railroading a catcher at home plate to daintily swatting a ball out of a pitcher's glove. The two are COMPLETELY different. Running over a catcher at home plate is a common, legal move while limp-wristedly slapping a ball out of a fielder's glove is not only an extreme show of faggotry but also illegal as evidenced by the umps calling A-Rod out for interference.

"Whiny envious bitches." Oh ram it up your ass. Your belief that people hate A-Rod because of envy them is just as retarded and naive as your belief that terrorists hate us for our freedom. [Cross-forum bitchslap™]

THAT'S your argument zappis? Running over the catcher has always been a part of baseball.(I didn't think much of it in a meaningless spring training game. Real game, yes, exhibition, no) What about Rose running one over in the all star game?(I have always despised Rose) The way I understand it is, if you have a chance to collide with the catcher and you duck out, you're gonna hear about it. But smacking at a guy's glove? I've been watching baseball religiously for over 20 years and have never seen THAT. Can't say besides ARod I've ever even heard of it. Because unlike collisions with the catcher, it's considered bush league to do such a thing.(I've seen it. I've done it. You try to knock the ball out of the guy's hand. He just didn't do a very good job of hiding it from the ump. C'est la vie)

I had this talk with two of my friends who were both 2nd round draft choices, played minor league ball, ect. And they said that if you pulled that crap in the minors, oh boy. You'd get hazed (wrong word but you get the point) ripped a new one by the team and manager, maybe sent down or even released.(Not if you had talent, you wouldn't)

As far as yelling behind somebody, again the understanding we have its that it's bush.(Whatever)

But it's A Rod, so what are you gonna do?

Still, he's an AMAZING player. I just wish he didn't go trick.

The only impassioned argument I recall making regarding A-Rod was when the arch cunt Vaginatek punched him in the face with his mask on. That was bush.

The problem is he did it in the first place. You dont do shit like that, you play the game the way its meant to be played.

Who cares anyways? It's not as if the Yankees are relevant or have been relevant recently.

First, you have a faulty understanding of what a strawman is. Second, you need to understand the difference between the value of an exhibition game(0) and a regular season game.

Also dangerous, injurious play and an innocuous attempt to knock the ball out. It's all about t3h NuAnCe

I seem to recall twelve straight playoff appearances (plus ummmmm whatdayacallem, championships) and consider that to be relevant to baseball. Maybe not the minor leagues, but they are certainly relevant to the Major leagues.

He said "recently." The Yankees have done nothing for the past 8 years but rest on their laurels and not get enough quality pitching.

Have you seen the AL East standings recently?
