A-Rod's off-season exploits have been well-documented. But after the latest revelation--that he'll miss more than two months repairing a torn labrum--I feel spent. I don't know how to react anymore. It's always something with this guy.
Whether it's trying to swipe the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove during the 2004 ALCS or yelling "I got it" when running behind Toronto's John MacDonald a few years ago, everything A-Rod does is bush-league and calculated.
Rooting for Alex is like befriending an impossibly hot chick. You're happy that she talks to you but you're disappointed time and again. It's reached that point with Alex. You're just drained emotionally.
So here are the five stages of Grief as seen through the eyes of a Yankee fan.
Denial---What happened? A-Rod took steroids? When? I don't believe it. How can it be? Boy, the media won't leave this guy alone. Maybe Mike Francesa was corret when he said that some guys just can't make it in New York. The witch hunt continues.
Anger (after seeing that BS interview with Gammons)--That little bastard! Can't trust the Dominicans. Bolly? Are we kidding? And why is Madonna's manager insisting he wear that faggy blue v-neck? And who the fuck is going to play third base now? Get me Hank Steinbrenner's number...Can we void A-Roid contract? And who can play third base? Newcomer Nick Swisher? Grrrr. Season's wasted?
Bargaining--Okay Alex admitted it. Now we can go on and concentrate on the baseball season and begin debating important matters such as who's going to play center field. Why manager Joe Giradi should be shitcanned before the season starts...Not to mention who's going to play third base.
Depression I don't care anymore. What does it matter? A-Rod's hurt and will miss two months. The Yankees lost their best hitter and third baseman. Boston looked strong and Tampa and Toronto look better this year too. What's the use?
Acceptance I'm ready for whatever comes my way. Perhaps the Yankees will be a better team in the early going and get back to the teamwork during the 1996-2001 era. We don't miss A-Rod..we got Mark Teixera!
Ah, that little bit of Yankee rehab worked wonders..Thank goodness baseball season is around the corner and A-ROD successfully surgically repaired his torn labrum. Only every Yankee fans knows Alex is all thumbs.
