Jiambi and A-Rod go at it..

"We're all rooting for you and we're behind you 100 percent, but you've got to get the big hit," was his message to A-Rod, Giambi told SI.

"What do you mean?" was Rodriguez's response, Giambi told SI. "I've had five hits in Boston."

"You [expletive] call those hits?" Giambi said, according to SI. "You had two [expletive] dinkers to right field and a ball that bounced over the third baseman! Look at how many pitches you missed!

"When you hit three, four or five [in the order], you have to get the big hits, especially if they're going to walk Bobby [Abreu] and me. I'll help you out until you get going. I'll look to drive in runs when they pitch around me, go after that 3-and-1 pitch that might be a ball. But if they're going to walk Bobby and me, you're going to have to be the guy."

"[Mike] Mussina doesn't get hammered at all," he told SI. "He's making a boatload of money. Giambi's making [$20.4 million], which is fine and dandy, but it seems those guys get a pass. When people write [bad things] about me, I don't know if it's [because] I'm good-looking, I'm biracial, I make the most money, I play on the most popular team ..."

"I think he ought to get his eyes checked," one teammate told SI. "I'm not kidding. I don't think he's seeing the ball."

And another: "I honestly think he might be afraid of the ball."

I have few problems with A-Rod.First,by him talking about his 5 crappy hits in Boston won't get him nowhere and it certainly won't help him win support from the fans which he has been dying to do ever since he got to the Yankees.(After this comment he'll still gonna wonder why the fans booing him..Because you make idiotic comments like this).Second,he needs to not open his mouth about his teamates.He is nobody himself to point the fingers at others.Until he starts doing something productive for his team,he should cloe his mouth and go about his buisness quietly.He is not Mussina or Jiambi.They are true Yankees.He is not.They've produced for their team to earn the stripes.He has not.So,therefore,he has no right to talk about them.

I found these two comments made by his teamates funny.

"I think he ought to get his eyes checked," one teammate told SI. "I'm not kidding. I don't think he's seeing the ball."

And another: "I honestly think he might be afraid of the ball."

Especially the second one,i would most definetly agree on that.No kidding either.He is afraid of the ball.

Go to that site where i got the article from and listen to ''The Herd Compares A-Rod and Jeter'' radio footage.Its very interesting and true stuff that the guy is talking about.Some of the stuff that he says ''Jeter is a gamer,he dives,he hustles.A-Rod..even when he makes a great play,he glints..he does't dive,he lunges elegantly''.This is just the part of it.You should watch the whole footage.He says a lot of true stuff that i've been saying all this time when nobody would listen.

somebody needs to let his A-rod obsession go

 

[Bachaveli]

Obsession?No.Far from being obsessed with A-Rod.

This is like same as when you were talking about bunch of stuff about Bonds and his streroid use.It was a big story then and everybody was talking about.Same thing with A-Rod,i'm not the only one seeing his problem.Everybody is talking about him.

So,no i don't think i'm obsessed with A-Rod.Hes just a jackass and an asshole for the very same reasons as that guy said in that footage.

And you (self claimed Yankee fan) should come better then that.You should be on Yankees side and defend Mussina and Jiambi when A-Rod tries to downplay them.

did you know Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig had beef and stopped speaking to eachother in the early 30's and still managed to win the world series in 1932?

that would be the worst case scenerio that this could turn into, and that doesn't mean shit

i think the story is mad overplayed, not to mention old, so i could give a flying fuck about this entire topic.

did you also know you were stupid enough to spell "Giambi" as "Jiambi" when it said "Giambi" multiple times in the article...that...you....read?

that would be the worst case scenerio that this could turn into, and that doesn't mean shit

assuming the yankees will win the world series?
