Changing targets |
| It was only a matter of time. A-Rod continued his hot streak tonight with his 9th homerun and 23rd RBI in a season that is only 13 games old. For those of you keeping track, he has at least one hit in every game this season and at least one extra-base hit in all but one game so far. So what does the media do now? Simple. They turn on Jete. (By the way, Jeter is suffering through such a tough start, his average is only .333) Get ready, because if Jete doesn't pull out of this slump soon, the heat is only going to get worse. They have to have something to talk about. Labels: A-Rod, Jeter, Media |

Alex to media: I've got your clutch hit right here! |
| Today may go down as the day Alex Rodriguez left the media in the dust. He bailed out the team from a second consecutive loss to an embarassingly bad team. He also bailed out the pitching staff from another less than stellar performance. First, Kei Igawa became the next name on a growing list of Yankee starting pitchers who are either injured or are healthy and pitching like they are injured. Four games into the season, starting pitching has pitched a total of 17 1/3 innings, which is an average of 4 1/3 innings per game. In those 17.1 innings, they have given up 28 hits, 11 walks and 22 runs. This is an ERA of 11.42. But Alex hit a two-run homer in the first inning. Giambi hit a 3-run shot in the 8th which at the time looked like it was going to be too little, too late. However, with the Yanks down by a run in the bottom of the 9th and 2 outs, Alex would come to the plate with the bases loaded in a moment that you just knew, one way or another, was going to make headlines the next day. He took strike one and swung and missed at strike two and you could practically see the feast the media were going to have on him the next day. The door out of New York was opening and Alex was taking the first step. But he closed that door when he drove a 1-2 pitch over the center field wall. Ballgame over. Yankees win. Tha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Yankeeeees wiiiiiiinnnn. Labels: A-Rod, Heroes, Igawa, Media, Pitching, Victory |

Operation Blame A-Rod continues |
It was tough to watch the 7-6 loss to the Devil Rays yesterday. The Yanks had plenty of opportunities to win this game. However, due to a less-than-stellar return to pinstripes for Pettitte, way too many fielding errors, passed balls and wild pitches, and a couple of missed opportunities for a clutch hit and a bullpen that struggled, the Yanks could not pull it off. The point is that there was plenty of blame to go around. However, who do you think was blamed? Yep…the man with the big media target on his head: A-Rod. He didn’t have any problems in the field or on the base path, and he went 1 for 5 with an RBI. Not a stellar day, but compared to the fielding of his teammates, he looked like was a gold glove third-baseman. And while he did pop out with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 8th, the media seemed to somehow miss that Bobby Abreu, who hit right in front of him in the batting order, failed to score a run with the bases loaded and only one out, right before Alex came to bad. Should this be a shock that Alex takes the blame? No. After all, these people have to sell newspapers and attract listeners. They need a story to push, whether it’s true or not.

They just can't let it die... |
| One game has been played in the 162-game schedule of the 2007 MLB season so far. One game is behind us, A-Rod had quite a bit to do with the win, and the media is stumbling over itself to push him out the door. They just can't stop talking about him. Speculation about him opting out of his current contract and signing with the Angels continues. It makes you wonder if these sports commentators have anything worthwhile to contribute to the discussion. I blame A-Rod for not making this any easier on himself by some of the things he has said and how he behaves, but if today is at all indicative of how he is going to be treated this year, I don't see good things happening. I have to confess - I was surprised to find one article with some worthwhile advice to Alex: he should try to enjoy himself. Labels: A-Rod, Media |

Self-fulfilling prophecy |
| It is almost a given that the media scrutiny of Alex Rodriguez is going to go from heavy to obnoxious in 2007. In fact, it's already started. I can see him at some point this season going 0 for 4 for the night and breaking a 15-game hit streak, and the next day's headlines on the New York Times questioning if he will survive his new slump. The problem is this: As the media continues to dish out more and more and more gossip, speculation and general nonsense about him in order to justify its own miserable existence, actual pressure on Alex will continue to build and sooner or later, he will succumb. I hate to say it, but barring a near perfect first few months for him and/or some other scandal, drama or attention magnet to provide cover, Alex is going to have a tough ride. Who knows? Maybe MLB will finally have the guts to investigate Barry. Labels: A-Rod, Media |

The A-Rod media fest continues |
| Since Alex Rodriguez began his winter break earlier than expected (along with the rest of the $200 million disappointment known as the 2006 New York Yankees), the media can no longer obsess about his lack of production. This means they have to shift gears and obsess about possible trade scenarios involving Rodriguez. Since Lou Pinella was hired as the Cubs newest manager, the latest rumors have Alex going to the Cubs. In fact, some stories would have you believe that part of the pre-hiring discussions between Pinella and the Cubs revolved around Rodriguez. Some would have you believe he will go to Oakland. Cashman denies that A-Rod is going anywhere. The fact that he has a no-trade clause and claims he wants to stay in New York further increases the likeliness that he stays. But regardless of what is said or done, the media is just getting warmed up with A-Rod this winter. Labels: A-Rod, Media |
