Despite the decades long rivalry between the NY Yankees and the Boston Redsox, the fans of either team never cheer when a player of the opposing team gets hit. Alex Rodsriguez is in a category all by himself as he is the most hated man in baseball. Even Yankee fans like myself despise this fraudster and sad excuse of a man. During a Yankee-Redsox game Sunday, A-Rod was hit by a pitch and the crowd rightfully cheer. Sadly, A-Rod got the last laugh by hitting a home run later in the game.
BOSTON — In the second inning, Boston Red Sox starter Ryan Dempster drilled New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez with 3-0, 92 mph fastball. In the sixth, Rodriguez drilled Dempster for a long solo homer that sparked the Yankees’ comeback victory.
“It was the ultimate payback,” Rodriguez said after the team’s 9-6 win.
When Dempster plunked Rodriguez in the elbow with a fastball, it resulted in both benches being issued warnings, the ejection of Yankees manager Joe Girardi and the bullpens of both teams emptying onto the field. No punches were thrown.
With the Fenway crowd chanting “You’re a cheater” to start the second inning, Dempster’s first pitch to Rodriguez, an 89 mph fastball, sailed behind him, nearly catching him on the left leg.
After two more inside fastballs, Dempster’s 3-0 pitch nailed Rodriguez squarely on the left elbow pad. Rodriguez interpreted it as Dempster’s way of saying he did not like how Rodriguez has handled the 211-game suspension for performance-enhancing drug violations that Rodriguez is appealing.
“Whether you like me or hate, that was wrong,” said Rodriguez, who finished the night with three hits and raised his average to .319 in 47 at-bats. “That was unprofessional and silly. It was kind of a silly way to get someone hurt on your team as well.”
A-Fraud, everyone even your own team mates hate you and the Genral Manager of the Yankess Brian Cashman does not feel confortable speaking with you.
Prior to the game, A-Rod’s boss, Yankees general manager, Brian Cashman spoke to the media about the A-Rod situation.
Cashman said when he does speak to A-Rod, it is very brief and doesn’t have much to say to him.
“I’m not comfortable talking to Alex on this stuff, because I feel we’re in a litigious environment, so I am not comfortable anymore talking to him.”
“Hello, goodbye, and that’s it. Because anything else, I don’t want to be distorted, to be quite honest,” Cashman said.
Cashman said he is very frustrated by the whole situation, because A-Rod is not just going after management, “he’s putting it at the level of our trainers, our medical staff. The organization. The team.”
Alex Rodriguez is a disgrace to baseball and humanity.
