Have I Ever Mentioned That A-Rod is a Pussy?

"Mussina doesn't get hammered at all. He's making a boatload of money. Giambi's making [$20.4 million], which is fine and dandy, but it seems those guys get a pass. When people write [bad things] about me, I don't know if it's [because] I'm good-looking, I'm biracial, I make the most money, I play on the most popular team...." -- The $255 Million Man, Alex Rodriguez
Our man fifty grand TennBengal over at The SportsFrog cued us in to this article on A-Bitch. For those of you who have ever pushed back when I've proclaimed that A-Rod is a piece of shit phony with no sack at all, I simply say, Case Closed.
Another astounding passage after the jump:
Before Giambi went to Torre, he had scolded Rodriguez after a 13-5 win in Boston on Aug. 19. Irked that Rodriguez left four runners on base in the first three innings against a shaky Josh Beckett, Giambi thought A-Rod needed to be challenged. "We're all rooting for you and we're behind you 100 percent," Giambi recalls telling Rodriguez, "but you've got to get the big hit."A Big Fat Sopping Wet Pussy. End of story."What do you mean?" was Rodriguez's response, according to Giambi. "I've had five hits in Boston."
"You f------ call those hits?" Giambi said. "You had two f------ dinkers to rightfield and a ball that bounced over the third baseman! Look at how many pitches you missed!
"When you hit three, four or five [in the order], you have to get the big hits, especially if they're going to walk Bobby [Abreu] and me. I'll help you out until you get going. I'll look to drive in runs when they pitch around me, go after that 3-and-1 pitch that might be a ball. But if they're going to walk Bobby and me, you're going to have to be the guy."
(Asked about Giambi's pep talk, Rodriguez said he could not remember what was discussed, though he added, "I'm sure we had a conversation.")
That article was beautiful.

I happen to like a-Rod and do agree that Giambi-- who sucked for a full season and a half after he got off the juice-- seemed to get a pass (maybe its because of his really weird abgibuous apology for as yet unspoken offenses) If A-Rod is roundly criticized for a sun tan in the park why arent people throwing syringes at Giambi? As for Mussina< he's had an excellent season, but has been inconsistent for the past 3. You never knew what you were going to get when it was his turn in the rotation. A-Rod's not perfect but he has produced. Lets see what he does this post season.

Damn bruh, you really do not like this cat. It's funny to me because being from Seattle and being a Mariners fan, I've seen some A-Rod hate. But I was never mad at this dude, I know I woulda took that muthafuckin money too. Although I woulda been straight up about it, instead of saying "I want to win" and then going to the last place team in the division. Your hatred of this cat is unhealthy, put it somewhere constructive like into hating Joe 'I Suck' Buck.

Addendum; However anyone who wears a Duke shirt, hat, or anything else Duke related is a douchebag. That should be a fuckin Man Law. Somebody get Miller on the phone.

My God, he's right...if there is one thing I hate more than when my brother and his friend clog up my sink by shoving food down it it's biracial people. I mean, seriously, pick a race, you know?

Full disclosure: I'm a Red Sox fan. Of all of the rotten shit that Sox fans have ever hurled at him, none have ANYTHING to do with his ethnicity. That's a pathetic attempt to paint all A-Rod haters as racist. When did he start taking lessons from Carl Rove? Does he know that Republicans hate black people? (That's what Kanye taught me).
All I can say is that the bitch took the money, pissed and moaned his way out of Texas (with the money) and plays for the team that the whole country hates the most(the Red Sox come in second on that one too). So take it like a man and go home to count your money. For $25M/year, you can call me whatever you want. I'll just laugh as I'm lighting my Cuban cigars with hundreds.
Oh, and unless you are currently enrolled at Duke, you deserve a donkeypunch for wearing any Duke gear in public.

It's pretty simple really. A-Rod isn't wired to deal with adversity. He's probably been worshipped his whole life. This is the first time he's ever had to deal with it. Is he a little eccentric? Sure, but we knew that.
Posted by: jerloma | September 20, 2006 at 02:12 PM
Maybe he's supporting the Lacrosse team.

"Addendum; However anyone who wears a Duke shirt, hat, or anything else Duke related is a douchebag. That should be a fuckin Man Law. Somebody get Miller on the phone."
A bit of background that you probably were not aware of, O. The picture was taken during a Duke-FSU game. Which, of course, makes A-Rod's douchebaggery even that much more egregious. True to form, the douchebag is rooting for both teams, trying to be loved by all and instead winding up with everyone looking at him like he is a Phony Fucking Douchebag.
A quote from The Captain the other day (and I have to think that he had A-Fraud in mind w/ respect to the last sentence):
"I've heard people say it [comparing Jeter to Dimaggio]. It's flattering anytime you hear something like that. It's kind of unfair to him, though," Jeter says, sitting in front of his locker. "I've only been here a little while."
If there are similarities, they are accidental, Jeter says. "It wasn't like I molded myself after him. You can't be something you're not or you aren't going to be believable."
"Eccentric," Jerloma? Mark Fidrych was eccentric. Rickey Henderson was eccentric. Oil Can Boyd was eccentric. Alex Rodriguez is a fucking douchebag.
Apples. Bowling Balls.

Wow -- I used to just hate him for being a Yankee -- now I just hate him.
Can someone explain to me what being biracial has to do with anything? Does he honestly think that matters in New York? The home of Juan Epstein?
Posted by: Kristal K | September 20, 2006 at 02:33 PM
I never liked that word biracial. I say we bring back mulatto.
Posted by: DFS | September 20, 2006 at 02:37 PM
How 'bout NO!!!! You crazy dutch bastard.
Posted by: The big O | September 20, 2006 at 02:40 PM
I prefer Mutt. I mean really, whatever happened to keepin' it real?
Posted by: jackie | September 20, 2006 at 02:46 PM
I sometimes use mutt, but that's one of those things that only mixed people can use. I prefer good old fashioned mixed, or Heinz 57.
Posted by: The big O | September 20, 2006 at 03:48 PM
or Heinz 57.
I don't get it.
Posted by: jerloma | September 20, 2006 at 03:51 PM
My mother is from the midwest, apparantly they refer to mixed breed dogs and cats as Heinz 57's.
I have a couple questions for my mixed brethren out there (really only applies to mixed black and white);
1.) Growing up were you immediatly accepted any and everywhere as black by any and every other black person?
2.) Did this ever happen to you with white people?
I know for myself the answer to #1 is most definatly yes, and the answer to #2 is hell no and I better not hear of it happening either, craker ass crackers.
Posted by: The big O | September 20, 2006 at 04:00 PM
Mark Fidrych was eccentric. Rickey Henderson was eccentric. Oil Can Boyd was eccentric. Alex Rodriguez is a fucking douchebag.
Amen.
Posted by: Kristal K | September 20, 2006 at 04:10 PM
Big O what is your point with #2? That you would be upset if a white person immediately considered you black, or if they considered you white?
Big O, the tragic mulatto.
Just kiddin man.
Posted by: DFS | September 20, 2006 at 06:01 PM
White.
Posted by: The big O | September 20, 2006 at 07:57 PM
Respect big O. I've always thought that if the KKK or some neo-Nazi cats rushed into a room and started shooting all the people who didn't look white, and you would be one of the people getting shot, then you are Black. That don't mean you can't love and honor your white parent and heritage, but I never understood how that affection and respect is somehow greater if you call yourself bi-racial.

Being half irish and half scottish, I was viewed as someone who couldn't drink by both sides. But now that I've lost my job, my friends, and my woman due to alcohol, who can't drink now? Huh? Huh?
Posted by: M. Butler | September 21, 2006 at 07:31 AM
Maybe what Arod meand was that he was bi;and racist?
Posted by: puddy | September 21, 2006 at 07:33 AM
Did Verducci spend the summer hiding in a garbage can inside of the Yankee's clubhouse? How in the hell did he get all of those quotes?
Posted by: Alex | September 21, 2006 at 10:10 AM
Elm Tree,
I feel you, and I love, honor, and respect my mother and her heritage (the native american part anyways). It's just a trip growin' up mixed, when I was a kid I remember white kids callin me all types of niggers (my mother got waaaay more upset when this type of shit happened than pops did, he just said to ingnore 'em because they were ignorant and didn't know any better, but moms was livid), gettin called half-breed, sayin shit about moms because she was with a brotha, I got in soo many damn fisticuffs as a kid it's not funny. But I never, ever heard a single derogatory remark from my black folks regarding my heritage, ever. It was always immediate acceptance. So if it ever came down to chossing sides, it's really not even a question. -1
