how is this guy even "famous?"
Auto tune + beeelowing Usher nightly = fame
how is this guy even "famous?"
i remember his MLB debut, in fenway
bean pole
Stick to babbling nonsense about irrelevants like the Royals and Raiders...
Manny was loved in Boston...and a lot of Sox fans would like to see him back this year for the stretch run...
The difference is, Manny and Papi are likable and have performed in October....
So you are all suggested the Yankees knew they were gonna get fucked on that contract?
Obviously none of you are making the financial decisions in your line of work
I understand it's convenient as a professional Yankee hater to assume this
But it literally makes zero sense. It's the dumbest thing stated here in a long time
I remember the photo of you with the Clorex box covering your cock, too. Maybe 185?
So has A-Rod in 03 04 09
I always did and will defend him that he took the brunt for those Yankees losses but the whole team shit the bed in the post season more often than not.
And, there is no Boston comeback if A-Rod doesn't win the series with the Twins and play a big part of why they were up 3-0 on the Sox in the first place.
Anyway, no tears shed for him... guy is clearly a bag of shit.
You wore it well. The weight, not the box

They signed a 32 year old to a 10 year 300 bagillion dollar contract, immediately after publicly declaring they were upset he opted out, and weren't going to resign him
...it really could have gone only one way...and it did.
Dirt- I don't think they thought it would back fire...but, the team had to have some idea of what a d-bag he was and that there was a likely chance he was on roids.
I think the idea of the MILLIONS in tickets, souviners, ad revenue, etc from the "chase" clouded their better judgement an Risk vs Reward analysis.
I also think that going forward anyone like Puljos that uses "ARods Contract as a starting point" is an idiot. Any any owner that pays a guy that kind of money that long is an idiot - which is why I am 100% against signing Cano to a 10 year $250 million contract!!
I am praying they dont'.
Arod performed in 03 and 04?
Please...tell us how he did for the Yanks in 03, be very specific...
And 04? The last 4 games?
I could care less about PEDs or roiders, makes no difference to me. Whats funny is, is how fans of other teams just cant cope with the idea that some of their favroite players are dirty players just like some of my favorite players are, were, or are going to be dirty cheaters.
The fact that some people choose to make us believe their own conclusions they draw are actually absolutes. Its laughable. The Yankees knew A-Rod was a dirty cheater, and they figured they could cash in on that 275 million dollar investment, what they didnt comprehend, is that A-Rod could care less about how he is perceived in the public eye.

Thats totally fine, I get it
But to suggest the Yankees "knew " he was juicing, which by definition "knew" they were gonna get fucked on that deal, is not only completely false, a serious case can't be made with sound reasoning
The Yankees made it very clear the deal was a business move in anticipation of his record setting pace as a "Clean Player"
People conveniently forget how clear the Yankees were on that line of thinking
a rare coherent moment from pete
