Have you ever been in one of those situations where it felt like everything you say is wrong. It happens to me quite often, especially with the old lady. You think you're saying the right thing,"No honey your ass doesn't look like it needs a mile marker on each cheek." I think Alex Rodriguez is in a perpetual state of that with the media and even Yankee fans. Yesterday he was interviewed by WFAN in a session that he felt like he was "standing at the plate with Bob Gibson on the mound." This is one of the quotes that really got me:

"I know I had a lot of options to go to several teams this offseason, probably five or six," Rodriguez said. "I chose to be in New York."

Okay so is that a threat. Another gem is this:

"It's a do-or-die situation," Rodriguez told WFAN's Mike Francesa and Chris Russo. "At some point, either New York is going to say, 'I've had enough of this guy, get him the [heck] out of here, and we have an option.'

"Or New York is going to say, 'Hey, we won a world championship, you had a big year, you're a part of it. We want you back.'"

Look man, I don't want you're apologies and I don't want your excuses. What I do want is for you not to commit an error every freakin' game. I want you to maybe make a clutch hit every now and then. But most of all, just shutup. I'd rather listen to Barry Bonds moan about how the man is after him then to listen to you talk about how you and Jeter aren't the best of friends anymore.  Or talk about how you have the option if you want to.

I don't think that Yankee A-Rod haters don't like A-Rod because he's not clutch. It's because he is a giant pussy all the time. He needs to tell someone to fuck off not 'well I'm doing my best guys.' He needs what the people at Chotchkies has, and that's flare. I'd rather a bad ass than a apologist. Drop your sack and be a man.

I'm sorry but I'm sick of hearing this guy. To quote a classic,"I'd rather listen to Fran Drescher, I'd rather listen to Beautician and the Beast but if I hear Yamo Be There one more time I'm going to Yamo burn this place to the ground."
