Sports At Random

I’ve never been one to stick up for A-Rod, but this really is overblown:

Look at A-Rod. He wasn’t even paying attention. He just let out a shout. It happens all the time. It happened to me in Little League; I didn’t cry about it.

And first off, that’s the shortstop’s ball. He owns the infield and he should call the 3rd Baseman off. And if he doesn’t, he needs to get over to cover third base. He should have never been behind the 3rd baseman (where A-Rod ran past) unless he was calling that ball, I don’t care how routine that play should have been.

So now it’s just more ammo for the A-Rod haters, which is fine with me, I’ve hated A-Rod, despite being a Yankees fan (my childhood dream will come true when Don Mattingly finally wins a World Series with the Yankees), ever since he forced “Punk’d” not to air their prank on him. (which was apparently an actor posing as a waiter who was a huge Red Sox fan and telling A-Rod he’s a loser who will never win anything. That would be some great video- just to see A-Rod’s face. But, alas, A-Rod ordered the tape to be destroyed.) But, at this point, I’m starting to feel sorry for this guy.

Jesus, what is happening to me? First I side with Kobe and feel for him and now I’m siding with A-Rod? Have I become totally soft? What happened to the 18-year-old kid that made this list of people he hates for no apparent reason?

Quick, I need to watch some Carson Daly clips… ah, that’s better. What a douche.
