I always assumed the re-up was because at the time he was on pace to break Bonds HR record, and the Yankees wanted the chase (and all the money it would bring in) to be in their stadium

That makes mad sense :leon:

For A-Rod to even be in the conversation is a fn joke...he won #27 more than anyone else on the team.

Wade Boggs had a big walk.

C'mon...

Arod first years after 04 he pressed because everyone blamed him for not singlehandedly winning every playoff game

I think also A-Rod's struggles got magnified because of how Ortiz & :manny: always seemed to get that "big hit" for the Red Sox in those same situations. Yankee fans expected A-Rod to have that same ice water in his veins.

I dont remember what yr it was but it got so bad they actually booed that man at Yankee Stadium when he hit a HR because the game was already a blowout.

I wonder if they reupped that contract simply so no one else could sign him, I dunno. That reup always bugged me, but them books gonna be in good shape very soon.

Especially if they can revitalize nikkas like Chavez a few more times.

The contract really was about

a) The $$$ the Janks thought they'd get from his HR chase of Bonds, which at that time was real possibility

b) He was an absolute monster in the 2007 regular season, MVP award and without him that team doesn't come close to making the playoffs. Easily the worst team of the Torre Era. So the thought of A-Rod not being there was really scary.

God I can't wait for A-rod to shut you guys up. Well I shouldnt say that because if 09 did shut you up then nothing ever will. But he's gonna get a big hit in one of the next couple of games and I can't wait to laugh at the A-Rod haters.

His 09 postseason is really some legendary type shyt. He carried them to the their championship that year.

The undeserved hate he gets is exactly why I pull for A-Rod. It's like people hate him just because he's an easy target.

I hope he gets hot and torches every team the rest of the playoffs.

That had everything to do with it. Levine saw dollar signs.

He's an idiot though. He has a revolutionary contract that has made him the highest paid player in the game just about every year he has played yet he seems to get freaked out by expectations that he should actually live up to that salary.

Arod has a Yankee has hit

387/.538/.925

The hate this man gets is ridiculous

It's not just the $.

Jankee fans don't like to be independent. The built in scapegoat is A-Rod. It's like some Jankee fans don't like to think and analyze shyt on their own. The NY Post said A-Rod sucks so that's that.

They don't wanna hate on Swisher, he's Mr. ClubHouse.

They don't wanna hate on Tex aka The Pop-Up king because he's a great fielder.

But they are just as poor in the postseason and they don't have a great NY postseason like Boli does...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

fukk out of here with this capn-save-a-fakkit propaganda. He was supposed to be THE best hitter in baseball and he has come up short in several situations. Very glad he came up big in one postseason, but we're not talking about Paul O'Neill or Bernie Williams here, this is the highest paid primadonna superstar in the game.

So fukk YOU and your gay, lame ass defenses of this piece of shyt with his bytch ass slapping of gloves in the playoffs, his banned substance inflated homerun numbers, his postseason at bats during which one of the supposed best hitters in history looks completely lost at the plate, his punk attitude that gets opposing players across the board disgusted enough to mush him in the fukking face and throw at him and yell at him across the diamond, his stupid ass interviews about his therapist and his atrociously moronic photo shoots, his cheating and then throwing his cousin or whomever under the bus, his "I'm playing for America... no I'm playing for DR... No, no, no I'm... I'm..." diva ass routine, his crocodile tears in his contrived tell-all sitdowns, the particularly gay ass shade of purple his lips are, all of the washed up celebrity skanks he dates on the downside of their old, man-faced careers, and his outrageously bloated contract which is a complete embarrassment to the Yankees since he's being outproduced by 534-year-old groundball king Derek Jeter and no one in the entire fukking world is going to give half a fukk about his tainted homerun chase which won't come to fruition anyway because he's prematurely about to drop off a cliff.

And THAT is why the fukk I can't stand this lame motherfukker. fukking hundreds upon hundreds of millions paid to this stupid checkswinging at a fastball fakkit and the best you've got is "as a Yankee he has had some relatively strong regular seasons and he won us that chip in 2009." fukk him, and fukk you if you have a problem with it.
