A-Rod is A-Idiot.

Alex Rodriguez, claimed to be the best player in baseball, is the most annoying and stuck up prick to ever play the game since John Rocker- but he was more of a general ass due to anger issues; and yes they are completely different. Earlier this off season, A-Rod decided to steal the spot light of the Red Sox World Series victory by announcing he would be opting out of his contract with the New York Yankees. I’ve prepared my take on all that occurred immediately after his announcement.

1) (not really an “event” but who cares) My first reason against A-Rod is while he opted out of his contract, he cost the New York Yankees $21.6 million dollars. New York was owed money by his previous team over the next 3 years and because he decided he wanted about 2 million more a year (28 million to around 30 million…a big f’n difference when your already making 28 mil/year) he thought it would be quite unselfish thing to do to the owners of the Yankees.

2) He failed at finding a new team. The only teams that could afford A-Rod for the whopping 30+ million/year he was looking for would have been the Red Sox, Yankees, Angels or potentially the Dodgers. To every other team, it was bested summed up by that one hit MC Hammer song (pre-bankruptcy) “can’t touch this.” At that point, he pissed away the Yankees as they quoted that the new organization would not negotiate with the player anymore. The Red Sox fans were chanting “Don’t sign A-Rod,” after the world series win, which was a good indication of their interests in the spoiled slugger. The Angels and the Dodgers both have minimal TV contracts, mediocre profit and cheap owners. They still are struggling to afford their minor league teams let alone our pretty-boy over here. Within two weeks, Mr. Rodriguez watched his dream of becoming an even greedier bastard fade away.

3) Tail-between the legs. This is my favorite part of the entire saga. Alex went back to the Yankees shortly after he opted out of his contract. His apology consisted of phrases such as “The Yankees are my baby’s daddy,” “I would still like to be Derek Jeter’s bitch,” and “Oops I did it again.” After begging and pleading and a public display of (what I like to call) ‘pissing and moaning’ - A-rod outlined a 275 million over 10 year contract. He actually will be losing money in the first 3 years of this contract as he was owed more in his previous in the final 3…smart move bud.

Bottom Line: The entire point of this was that A-Rod complained like a little girl for a measly raise of 2.5 million dollars when he was already making an average of 25-28 million a year. This greedy fuck pig is the reason a price of a hot dog is now 6.75 and a beer almost 9 dollars. I salute my middle finger at you A-Rod and I make it my personal goal in life to be in New York on opening day for I would like you to pay for my beer and hot dog with your new found riches because obviously you knew what it was like to struggle and earn an honest buck before…
