What goes on in New York?   Yankee fans seem to be holding A-Rod responsible for everything ... namely missing the post-season for the first time in so many years.

Sure, A-Rod melts in the clutch like so much ice cream in Central Park on a hot July day.  Sure, he has the personality of a narcisstic ego-driven air-head for opting out of his rich contract earlier in the year just to find out nobody else wanted him for the money except the team he was trying to abandon.  Still, he is the greatest active slugger in the game and eventual home run king.  Isn't that why the Yankees conveted him in the first place?

I was never in favor of the Yankees signing A-Rod or a lot of the other mercenaries they now are saddled with.  Chemistry means a lot in sports and mercenary-type players don't bring good chemistry or Karma.  The Yanks have done diddly since they signed Giambi and the rest of the mercs.

 A-Rod is  the wrong person for New York.  He's the wrong personality to be the highest paid in MLB.  There is a strange cloud over his head and now over the Yankee franchise.  Yanks go nowhere with him.  Get used to it ... you guys are married for 9 more years ... what a marriage made in hell.  Is Hank Steinbrenner the devil?
