cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290037843795You are bidding on great regular season baseball player Alex Rodriguez. He is especially good agaisnt fine quality teams such as the Royals, Devil Rays, Rangers and any game where you have a 9 run lead. Now you may wonder why I listed him in the category of antiques. That is a fair question. The answer is quite simple. The baseball from his last playoff RBI is an antique. Casey Stengle has hit a playoff homerun more recently that Arod. Why is the price so low? After all that brain surgeon Tom Hicks gave him 252 million dollars. That was several years ago and the market just isnt what he used to be. I tried to trade him last week for some enron stock but I was accused of price gouging.I have started the bidding at 1 cent because that is the lowest allowed ( I know it is excessive but the United States stopped minting the half penny over one hundred years ago.) Now you may wonder what is Arod even good for these days? There are many things. 1.If you teach an EMS class Arod chokes all the time. Youll have tons of practice trying to revive him. 2.Arod is a perfect gentleman. He would never hit a woman. 2 days ago a woman walked up to him and kicked him in the balls, I asked her why she wasnt worried about him hitting her back. She told me she would never do that in April but had nothing to fear. Arod couldnt hit her in October if he wanted to. 3.Build up your little leaguers confidence. If you have a child is is strugggling with his pitching have Arod play on the opposing little league team in the Championship game and your son/daughter will have scouts all over him in no time. 4. Arod can be a politician. He said people don't like him because hes biracial. He has a good point. Derek Jeter is biracial and Yankee fans hate him. 5.Hes so soft he can replace your matress. Arod has no stones whatsoever.Just when you think he couldnt get any worse he makes Kenny Rogers look like Sandy Koufax. And Kenny Rogers is almost as old as Sandy Koufax. How will I ship Arod? Simple. I'll tell the Redsox that they have a game against Arod's team right next to the winning bidders house and theyll send him a limo like they always do. What kind of payment do I accept? Pocket change!

That's pretty damned amusing, and I know nothing about baseball.

The White Sox will take him for Crede and Vasquez and Yanks pay 60% of ARod's salary

get rid of him and Jeter both, they're both overpriced jerks.
Then again I stopped caring about the Yankees this year when Matsui got hurt.

Matsui's fielding has gotten worse with each year and A-Rod is nowhere to be found when the game matters. Because I don't like him. Thats the only reason, really. |

Outscored 14-3 in the final two games. Scott Brosius would have had 11 RBI over that stretch  |

Once the Yanks went from homegrown talent (Jeter, Williams, Rivera, Posada) to trying to put an all-star at every position, they've done squat in the playoffs.
Maybe buying every player that was an all-star isn't the best way to win a championship.

So do you really win if you are the winning bidder?

Seriously, Yankee's fans are the whiniest bitches on this planet. If they don't win, they better find 1 person to parlay all the blame on. They did the same thing with Soriano and the next season he joined the 40/40 club. They need to shut their f***ing mouths.

They did the same thing with Soriano and the next season he joined the 40/40 club. They need to shut their luving mouths. Nah. I'm a Red Sox fan and I completely understand this. The team has the highest payroll by about 80 million dollars, and A-Rod is the highest paid of all of them. If the team and A-Rod do not get World Championship caliber results, then they deserve every bit of whining and complaining that they hear. Baseball's a team sport, and no matter how good his individual accomplishments are, if he doesn't pick up the team, he deserves to be scorned. The greatest ballplayers are the ones that win. I'd take A-rod on the Cubs any day. That may just be the perfect fit for him. |

He's still a good player, regardless of what spoiled Red Sox, or Yankee's fans think. Period. |

They did the same thing with Soriano and the next season he joined the 40/40 club. They need to shut their luving mouths. As a Yankee fan, I liked Soriano I found it a little irritating that he swung at a lot of pitches outside the strike zone, that was it though. A-Rod has done NOTHING since game 3 of the 2004 ALCS game 3, his batting average is below the Mendoza line in the playoffs since the mentioned game 3 and the continous double plays and runners left in scoring position is pathetic. Before you whine about Yankee fans consider the fact that I watched all 162 games this year and have seen a majority of A-Rod's failures. Not to mention the fact that you probably only saw this schmuck play a handful of times outside of the six against the A's. |
