A-Rod

[Heebs]

Damn.

6 HR in 7 days?

5 HR in last 5 games?

You bet.

I've heard some people around the media saying 58 is a possibility. I think that is pretty much where he'll be. My friend suggested 71? I said I'd give him $50 if that happened.

But that's the question. Plus I wonder how much his clearing the air about Jeter and this being a "contract year" is affecting his play.

 

[tclowers23]

I thought I heard ESPN say it was 6 HR in 7 games.

Also, it's not like A-Rod just all of the sudden got good.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Awesome start, but it will be hard to keep up, I didn't realize he had hit that many all ready.

 

[GAVol]

I think A-Rod hits a bunch of HRs, wins the MVP, then opts out of his contract at the end of the year. He can never do enough in New York.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

It wouldn't surprise me to see him leave the Yankees.

 

[tidwell]

Contract year? Is he expecting a better deal? :lol:

I hope he hits 75 HRs, drives in 180 runs, and proceeds to tell NY to kiss his ace*

*thanks vols kick balls for the inspiration on that one.

 

[GAVol]

Contract year? Is he expecting a better deal? :lol:

I thought the same thing.

 

[Heebs]

As a NYY fan who likes A-Rod, I think it would be better for both sides if they broke ties.

 

[Heebs]

Contract year? Is he expecting a better deal? :lol:

Yeah, the same amount of money, in a different city.

 

[vols kick balls]

A-Rod likes rods in his A. that is all

 

[The Dude]

I could see him hitting .345 60hr 150rbi, winning MVP, and going 3-20 in the playoffs.

 

[Heebs]

I like the high socks though. That's what I always played in.

 

[justingroves]

A Rod slaps balls. That is all

 

[Business]

I said it in the Prediction fourm which I can't find now.

A-Rod AL MVP.

According to Bill James' Favorite Toy, coming into this season, Alex Rodriguez has:

- a 97% chance of hitting 600 home runs.
- a 42% chance of hitting 700.
- a 15% chance of hitting 800.

He needs a big year or two now if he's going to unseat Bonds sometime in the middle of the next decade.

 

[BigPapaVol]

He needs to find a team with a pitching staff

 

[tvolsfan]

I wouldn't be incredibly surprised to see Arod break the all time HR record.

 

[justingroves]

I wouldn't be incredibly surprised to see Arod break the all time HR record.

And choke in every playoff series he's in.


When he slapped Varitek like a little girl in 04 I lost respect for him.

 

[tvolsfan]

Arod will win a world series before he retires.

 

[justingroves]

Arod will win a world series before he retires.

He will not be the reason for post season success

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

A-Rod can hit 3 homers in a game and then strike out with runners on in the 9th and they would want his head. He has no chance to win over the NY media unless he hits .425, 85 HR's and 177RBI's this year...and then with that he better not make one single error! lol

 

[tidwell]

When he slapped Varitek like a little girl in 04 I lost respect for him.

Wasn't it Varitek, the guy with a catcher's mask and catching gear on at the time, that started that?

 

[tvolsfan]

Wasn't it Varitek, the guy with a catcher's mask and catching gear on at the time, that started that?

He punched Arod in the face, but it's not like Arod ran back to the dugout crying. I don't see why Arod got so much hate for that.

 

[tidwell]

Yeah, real big of Varitek to smack someone when he's got a catcher's mask on.

Either way, this is my favorite moment of the A-Rod in New York Era.

 

[tvolsfan]

Whoever photoshopped that, great job.
