It's hard to believe that damn near everyone on that team is slumping at the same time.
Hey Mino and Trips our teams are suckin some ass, but you know the difference between mine this year and yours?
Mine always plays in the NL Central where you can suck and still win.....
Theres always next year.
There's still the wild-card.
If Boston plays .500 ball the rest of the way, NY would have to go 70-42 just to tie.

Looks fake to me.....
It's true. Just saw it on Sportscenter.
What'd he do?
I haven't seen the post game interview but everyone was pretty pissed at him.
It was the top of the ninth the yanks were up 1 with 2 outs and a guy on 2nd and A-rod on first. A high infield fly was hit to third base, basically a routine infield fly. As A-rod ran by, he yelled something, like he was the shortstop calling off the third baseman. So the Third baseman backed off and the ball dropped. That is bush league play, go back to when he knocked the ball out of the hand of Arroyo a couple of years ago.
I heard about this on the radio this morning. Sounds like a he said-she said deal. The Jays are saying A-Rod yelled "It's mine!' and A-Rod says he yelled "Ha!" Either way, A-Rod's a cocktard.
There is no way he yelled ha. His jaw motion in the replay was more then a ha.
He is a bitch. I hope his wife has the balls to leave for banging a stripper in T-dot, and takes all his money.

I didn't see the replay. I wish I had. I'll check it out on PTI tonight.
Nobody likes A-Rod...not even his teammates. AHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ya i just saw the highlights on Sportscenter this morning
He clearly said, "Mine!" They showed a closeup of him in slow motion as he was running and his mouth formation started as a "m" or otherwise his mouth would have been open if he had said "ha!" I have lost respect for him ever since he joined the Yankees.
What aggravated me even more is that he had a smirk on his face on 3rd base after the incident was over. Pretty sad he needs to find alternatives to win ballgames.

Sorry fellas, but that's part of the game. Much like when a pitcher throws a pitchout and the first baseman hides the ball to fool the runner and then tags him out or like when the second baseman makes believe the outfielder missed the cutoff man.
If those fielders fell for that old trick shame on them, not A-rod....A-rod can't do anything good.

This reminds me of the time we were playing baseketball and my opponant had the ball under the basket....I yelled at him to pass it to mel and he did, that was an easy 2 points for me.
Nope, that's been part of bb for decades. How would they get hurt?
And there is no comparison to being fooled about a hid pick-off.
Players intending to play the ball, should not be interfered with. Suppose it really was his fielder (the shortstop) who has control of that play calling him off and he continued to play it. Injuries happen. It speaks alot about the dipshit A-rod is. I don't care how good he is, I wouldn't want him on my team for that alone. He has shown in his past the dipshit he is. Trying to knock the ball out of Arroyos hand, High slides with the spikes in the air.
Ty Cobb used to sharpen his spikes, the high slide is countered with the low throw to first. that's part of hardball.
Before A-rod came to the Yankees everyone loved him now he's a lighting rod for all that's bad.....I just think it's A-rod being A-rod.
Pete Rose used to barrel into players at second base......remember the fight during the playoffs against the Mets in '73. He hit Buddy Harrelson hard.....but that was Charlie Hustle.
The high and tight pitch that Pedro, Clemens, Ryan all throw is dangerouse but that's hardball.

I knew you would bring up Ty Cobb 
Doesn't make it right. And certainly speaks worlds about the character of the person. What would happen if someone got caught sharpening there spikes now a days.
I was never a big A-rod fan. but now that he is on International Display as a Yankee his shitty personality is shining through.
It is Bush League Plain and simple. Sure he has skills but they are over shadowed by his bush league character, and he can choke on a donkey dick for all I care.
He is luck I wasn't at the game I would have been throwing anything I could find at that dipshit grin of his. His grin would have been a broken jaw. Then again that might piss off Jeter as A-rod wouldn't be able to suck his dick anymore.

I would be more pissed off that my players fell for that old trick, now you'll be hearing the whole stadium yell out "I got it" whenever the Jays are in town.
MLB Rules
7.09
It is interference by a batter or a runner when --
(a) After a third strike he hinders the catcher in his attempt to field the ball;
(b) Before two are out and a runner on third base, the batter hinders a fielder in making a play at home base; the runner is out;
(c) Any member or members of the offensive team stand or gather around any base to which a runner is advancing, to confuse, hinder or add to the difficulty of the fielders. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate or teammates;
(d) Any batter or runner who has just been put out hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate;
Rule 7.09(d) Comment: If the batter or a runner continues to advance after he has been put out, he shall not by that act alone be considered as confusing, hindering or impeding the fielders.
(e) If, in the judgment of the umpire, a base runner willfully and deliberately interferes with a batted ball or a fielder in the act of fielding a batted ball with the obvious intent to break up a double play, the ball is dead. The umpire shall call the runner out for interference and also call out the batter-runner because of the action of his teammate. In no event may bases be run or runs scored because of such action by a runner.
(f) If, in the judgment of the umpire, a batter-runner willfully and deliberately interferes with a batted ball or a fielder in the act of fielding a batted ball, with the obvious intent to break up a double play, the ball is dead; the umpire shall call the batter-runner out for interference and shall also call out the runner who had advanced closest to the home plate regardless where the double play might have been possible. In no event shall bases be run because of such interference.
(g) In the judgment of the umpire, the base coach at third base, or first base, by touching or holding the runner, physically assists him in returning to or leaving third base or first base.
(h) With a runner on third base, the base coach leaves his box and acts in any manner to draw a throw by a fielder;
(i) He fails to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball, or intentionally interferes with a thrown ball, provided that if two or more fielders attempt to field a batted ball, and the runner comes in contact with one or more of them, the umpire shall determine which fielder is entitled to the benefit of this rule, and shall not declare the runner out for coming in contact with a fielder other than the one the umpire determines to be entitled to field such a ball;
Rule 7.09(i) Comment: When a catcher and batter-runner going to first base have contact when the catcher is fielding the ball, there is generally no violation and nothing should be called. ???Obstruction??? by a fielder attempting to field a ball should be called only in very flagrant and violent cases because the rules give him the right of way, but of course such ???right of way??? is not a license to, for example, intentionally trip a runner even though fielding the ball. If the catcher is fielding the ball and the first baseman or pitcher obstructs a runner going to first base ???obstruction??? shall be called and the base runner awarded first base.
(k)A fair ball touches him on fair territory before touching a fielder. If a fair ball goes through, or by, an infielder, and touches a runner immediately back of him, or touches the runner after having been deflected by a fielder, the umpire shall not declare the runner out for being touched by a batted ball. In making such decision the umpire must be convinced that the ball passed through, or by, the fielder, and that no other infielder had the chance to make a play on the ball. If, in the judgment of the umpire, the runner deliberately and intentionally kicks such a batted ball on which the infielder has missed a play, then the runner shall be called out for interference.
PENALTY FOR INTERFERENCE: The runner is out and the ball is dead.

LOL
Read the rules. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.
Chapman died because he didn't see the High and tight pitch, Pete Rose ended Fosse's promising career with a hard slide.
You just had to pull out the rule book.
Those are injuries that happen in the game. It is unfortunate, but it is not a comparision to trying to fool someone into a collision with there own player.
Yes...
Yes I did.
I have no problem with a good tough game. Someone charging the mound, brushing back batters, hard slides.
But that type of play that A-rod did is Bush. Plain and simple.
If it was against the rules, why didn't the umpires call him out?
