Now why would the Detroit Tigers want to go and acquire Alex Rodriguez after they just embarrassed him and his overrated, out-and-out flawed $200 million New York Yankees team -- now the worst team money can buy -- in the playoffs?Brian Vanochten of the Grand Rapids Press says the Tigers may be very interested in the guy they just made look bad in the playoffs. A-Rod was doing so poorly that he was dropped to the eighth spot for the Yankees' playoff ouster yesterday. Perhaps Joe Torre told him he was the "auxiliary cleanup hitter."
A-Rod had his least productive offensive season since 1999, when he was a 24-year-old Seattle Mariners shortstop, had the lowest fielding percentage of his career and for good measure, turned in another craptucular playoff performance: 1-for-14 in the four-game depantsing delivered by Detroit. Since Game 4 of the '04 American League Championship Series, also known as the start of the Greatest Comeback In Sports History, he's gone 4-for-41 in the post-season for the amazing batting average of .098.
It's one thing for A-Rod to have trouble hitting his weight in the playoffs. But about hitting Posh Spice's weight?
That's baseball for you... one day the guy you're booing might end up on your team. The Tigers just rocked the Yankees' world, grabbed them by the short hairs and rubbed them in the dirt, and now there's talk they might go after the services of the biggest goat of the playoff series. So be it.
That's all for now. Send your thoughts to neatesager@yahoo.ca.
