Alex Rodriguez Thinks He Is Entitled

[ClementeFanOh]

Good morning net54ers-

bk400- perfectly put.

Peter Spaeth- I've said it before, bears repeating. People who dive behind
words like "triggered" have surrendered their legitimacy at the starting gun.
The mere fact that I called out your extraordinarily short attention span
doesn't mean I'm triggered- it's called discernment, and mine is based on
example after example. Truly, I'm stunned you didn't shoehorn an insult
about SGC while you were attempting to move the goalposts-again- on a
topic. The topic is ARod, not Pettitte, "other guys", etc.

Bottom line- ripping on ARoid is FUN low hanging fruit, which is entirely on
him. His 12 years with NY produced 1 Series win. He consistently feuded
with their front office, was suspended an entire season, and generally made
everything he possibly could make, about him. He admitted to steroid use
as far back as 2001, and Biogenisis clearly coincided with his prime Yankee
years later. He was a constant distraction who cared only about himself. I'm
no Yankee fan- an understatement- but their history is rich enough that they
can say "thanks, no thanks" to retiring this clown's number.

Well said! Even after baseball, Arod continues to do everything he can to stay relevant, which is just more annoying to me. He takes his gum disease, like it's something new he discovered, and goes on shows to share his story, wanting to warn everyone, so he can save the world. Freakin annoying! It just never ends with Arod. It truly is difficult to like the guy.

I will say this. Putting all of his bull crap aside, I still always loved watching him play baseball.

He also opted out during the World Series. Nine out of ten memories a Yankees fan has of A-rod are about BS like that.

There is no reason to look at stats or accomplishments for A-rod. This is about being a Yankee fan and considering whether or not he really has any place in any discussion about the greatest Yankees. I can't imagine there are many of us who think he does.

You will also not see anyone wearing a number 13 jersey at the stadium.

And yet... you aren't getting cranky at the people who are discussing pettitte..

Just a little "discernment"

Steve- it’s like trying to stop a dam from leaking with my thumb. You are late to this parade of sadness. There are people on this board who deserve to be countered, it gets old. Focus isn’t that difficult. Trent King

Foul, completely off topic.

Of course, the irony is that Trent is the one who derailed a perfectly good thread, by starting to whine. And another thing. Making comparisons, or placing things in a larger context, is not off topic. Only to you.

Off topic = any post by a person he doesn't like or expresses a different view from what he thinks is acceptable. I mean, any post by a fly that needs shooing away. If that means he needs to cuss out anyone who thinks the statistics suggest Kaline was Clemente's equal, attack folks for being against lynching people, or hijacking threads in an exercise of stunning hypocrisy, then by God he must do it, for it's the right thing to do anyways. None of us can post about the actual subject and issues very literally and directly in the original post, but he can veer off into anything because he's defending the watercooler from these dangerous flies. The hero we need, but don't deserve.

Peter and 1911- nope, wrong (again). The original thread was about Arod,
you 2 geniuses absolutely refuse to stay on topic, I pointed it out. 1911s
insane diversions and Peter's butthurt definitions aside ("whining"
is observing, got it Peter- makes perfect sense), you 2 clones deserve each
other. Suggestion- start a thread called "Short Attention Span Theater" and
STAY THERE. One of you can start a topic about potato chips and in 3 posts
you'll be discussing the best variety of lawn seed. It'll be riveting, I'm sure.
Tell your friends, tell your enemies- must see internet muscles all day, as
you both have to prove the wealth of knowledge you believe you possess.

Actual topic got derailed by you, it was a fun topic for ARod bashers.
Thank you for that, well done as usual... Go back to whatever it was you
mentioned next- the best expectorants on the market, was it? Thanos
finger snap...
