And it's pretty obvious you can't read sentences with more than one clause.

Because it has nothing to do with anything. A-Rod can't put up stats that will convince anyone to retire his number. He himself would have been the catalyst and we know how that turned out.

Peter- You're correct in that this isn't hard to grasp, you are just getting the
"hard to grasp" item wrong (deliberately, in all likelihood)... The original post was a self-described "vent" by someone who expressed astonishment/contempt/bemusement about the continuous self-involved exploits of ARod, who apparently had to start a campaign to get his number retired by the Yankees (yes, he's burrowing ever lower into the desperate former athlete category). This is very, very easy to follow UNTIL people derail. You and the omniscient baseball guru 1911 fall into this category. You and 1911 are essentially the "ARods" of this thread, actually- blissfully unaware that you are in the wrong and dug in. Feel free to stay there, but it won't make either of you right. Bottom line: the Yankees organization clearly feels that they have no need, and certainly no obligation, to honor a fecal stain who caused them headache after headache. It's their call, everything else is smoke. Capisce? Trent King |

Oh, if only omniscience was as easy to achieve as recognize the indisputable fact that PED scandal is not the barrier to Yankee number retirement we would all be omniscient.
I am always amused when you and I are throw in together, Peter, considering that we do nothing but argue with each other and agree on almost nothing under the sun beyond some elementary underling facts of whatever the issue is. |

ARod
1911- And I'm always amused when you anoint yourself the undisputed
arbiter of fact. Got anything pertaining to the initial point of the post? King Trent King |

Peter- nope, not gonna work. There's no ranting or raving, all breakable
objects in my home are quite safe. Blood pressure checks ok, good to go. Try to stay on point next time- wait. Don't try, actually do it. Anything related to the scope of the original thread post, or is it more diversion? Trent King PS- I already know the answer to that question. |

It has been explained at length that the only thing that factors into a number being retired is how the franchise and fans feel about the player.
But you choose to discuss stats and PEDs, which can impact how fans feel about a player, but do not actually represent credentials for retiring your number. |

Post 20 raised the PED question as to whether he was overrated as a player. I responded to that by questioning how anyone in the steroid era could be fairly evaluated, and Greg pointed out that PEDs could not be the reason for devaluing ARod by the Yankees given how they treated Petitte. This is all clearly within the subject, easy to understand, and I don't know what your issue is at this point, though I won't take it personally if you want to rant and rave some more.
