MrRain422 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hey, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Derek Jeter also been on the 6 consecutive Yankee teams that have not won a World Series? Why does winning a World Series 7 years ago excuse him from having to produce in the postseason now? Is Juan Uribe better than A-Rod? Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I don't know stats, but I know this: if A-rod had slammed into Bronson Arroyo with his shoulder on his way to first, or tackled him, or punched him in the face, I'd still hate him. I'd also repsect him more. As it is, he slapped at the ball like a little girl (or like me when I see a bee) and for this he deserves eternal scorn and mockery. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm watching this game at work now, and this broadcast is absolutely ridiculous. These clowns haven't talked about the game for like 20 minutes, and they won't take the camera off the hot girls. Is this what Marlins broadcasts are always like? Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Richie Sexson needs a nickname. Earlier I flipped to the Yanks/Mariners game during a commercial break during the Pistons game, and I think I heard one of them refer to him as "Big Sex". Link to post Share on other sites

These clowns haven't talked about the game for like 20 minutes, and they won't take the camera off the hot girls. Is this what Marlins broadcasts are always like? Only when it's a blowout. And I think the "clowns" were Josh Johnson and Logan Kensing, a couple of our pitchers who have become fan favorites and are on the dl. They do a series with them called "The Misadventure of JJ and Logan" and tonight they were doing it during the broadcast. Going into the production truck, doing announcing, running cameras, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yeah, I think that was Josh Johnson hitting on a couple of 18 year old cheerleaders. Funny stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

Basil II Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Irrational or not I think most of the A-rod haters (myself included) perceive the guy as nothing more than a big number guy that does nothing else. Sure he's gonna hit 30-40 HR a year with 100+ rbi's and bat at least .300 but that's it. The great players in any sport the Tiger Woods, Larry Bird, Jordan's etc etc win championships. That's it. That is why they are thought of as all time greats. A-Rod has never helped his team(s) win diddly that's why a lot of people see him as nothing but a number hungry spoiled jerk. Sure he's atop the lists in most stats this year but his team is stinking now (not all his fault obviously) but thats the perception. The guy puts up some serious numbers but will go down with the likes of Karl Malone, Dan Marino, etc because he never won a championship. Irrational? probably but people remember champions. Personally I don't like the guy 'cause he's a Yankee and yes as a Bosox fan of course I have an irrational hatred of all Yankees, just they way they breed us up in Massachusetts.
