Rodriguez the big douchebag

[metirish]

No prizes for guessing which Rodriguez I am talking about

Weather he is wrong or not he is just a total prick

I heard Keith mention it on the broadcast last night actually.

I just watched that, I didn't realize A-Roid made shooing motions with his hands when Braden started talking. That just adds to it in my opinion. (And gee, I'm surprised Francesa didn't mention that in the 20 minutes I heard him talking about it)

Simmer down, Jock. Thought Braden came off as douchey as one could there, even with King Douche ARod as the recipient. Baseball is funny.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dumb jocks both of them, but gayrod is getting less of the benefit of doubt from me since he's a proven unsportsmanlike cheater and narcissist.

"There will be consequences."

Ha. Granted, CentaursMan is as gigantic a horsecock as anyone in the game, but methinks Dallas might have seen "Braveheart" too many times.

The mound belongs to the pitcher. It was douchey of A-Rod to cross it during the inning.

Both are Knuckleheads, Gayrod moreso

To this day I'm still pissed Piazza dodn't charge Clemens

Says LWBH: "[braden's] family seemed really nice... and his grandma was so cute and sweet and little." (She met them last year when the A's stayed at her midtown hotel.)

Rodriguez said he didn't know about the "unwritten rule," and that's good enough for me.

After all, he's the one who has to look himself in the eye every day.

Glove slap in the ALCS against the Red Sox in 2004; incident with Toronto with the pop-up where he called "I got it" to distract the fielder a couple of years ago, etc.

He doesn't exactly get the benefit of the doubt here.

[Frayed Knot]

The one audio clip I heard involved ARod claiming he had never heard of the "rule" about not crossing the mound.
The thing is, I could see him both being clueless enough to be in his 17th year of pro ball and not know that, as well as arrogant enough to know it full well but figure that he's ARod and this no-name pitcher doesn't get to tell him what to do.
So either way he's a dope.

[metirish]

Dismissing the pitcher as a nobody is classless too, he said something like " what's he ever done ", asshole.

[Fman99]

It's the AL anyway, DH, etc., it's not like it's a real baseball game.

If the Mets were in the AL we wouldn't have to put up with Manuel's mix n match

[Guest themetfairy]

D-Dad agrees it was douchey. He makes the analogy to walking across the tee box when someone is ready to hit a golf ball; you just don't do that.

[Frayed Knot]

Could you imagine what 'The Dude', or, even worse, John Goodman's character, would do if someone in an adjacent lane started their bowling approach at the same time?!?!

See, now this is easy. Next time A-Rod hits a foul ball (and presumably drops his bat and starts running), the A's catcher can pick up the bat and toss it back to the on-deck circle.

Please change the title of this thread. The Mets have a Rodriguez and he's not a douchebag.
