Well we had a few busts already.
Arod needs to beat Boston in a big spot, hit 4 homers in playoff game and hit a game 7, botttom of the 9th bases loaded homer to win the final game 4-3.
Arod needs to beat Boston in a big spot, hit 4 homers in playoff game and hit a game 7, botttom of the 9th bases loaded homer to win the final game 4-3.
I think he simply needs to play a solid 3rd base with a few errorless months and hit a consistent 320 while piling in 50 homers 130 rbi's and getting hits in key situations to start off, then go from there. Of course all NY'ers want the big hit in the clutch in the Postseason, but hes gotta come up with them in the regular season first!
He is a superstar who took up the challenge to deliver in the biggest spotlight, he knew what he got himself into.
Have you seen him in the playoffs? He just needs to shut up and hit.
A-Rod: friendship with Jeter has cooled
A-Rod: friendship with Jeter has cooled
Things ???obviously not as great as they used to be,??? Yankees star says
The Associated Press
Updated: 12:29 p.m. ET Feb 20, 2007
TAMPA, Fla. - Yes, it???s true, admitted Alex Rodriguez, his relationship with Derek Jeter is not what it once was.
Surrounded by reporters and cameras as he sat in the first-base dugout Monday at Legends Field, A-Rod played true confessions, acknowledging they no longer have sleepovers and don???t go out together all the time anymore.
???People start assuming that things are a lot worse than what they are, which they???re not. But they???re obviously not as great as they used to be. We were like blood brothers,??? Rodriguez said. ???You don???t have to go to dinner with a guy four, five times a week to do what you???re doing. It???s actually much better than all you guys expect, but I just want to let the truth be known.???
On the first day of his fourth season with the Yankees, he did three rounds of interviews ??? English-language television, Spanish-language television and print reporters. He talked about his poor postseason (???I stunk???), his pride at being the highest-paid player in U.S. team sports (???It???s pretty cool???) and his refusal to rule out exercising the opt-out provision in his contract after this season (???I understand my options???).
A-Rod and Jeter were buddy-buddy back in the 1990s, when Rodriguez was a young star shortstop in Seattle and Jeter emerged as a force that helped the New York Yankees win four World Series titles in five years. But A-Rod dissed Jeter in a 2001 Esquire article, saying ???Jeter???s been blessed with great talent around him??? and ???he???s never had to lead.???
???You go into New York, you wanna stop Bernie (Williams) and (Paul) O???Neill,??? A-Rod was quoted as saying. ???You never say, ???Don???t let Derek beat you.??? He???s never your concern.???
Since Rodriguez was acquired by the Yankees in 2004, their relationship has been analyzed and dissected, a soap-opera sidebar to New York???s repeated postseason failures.
Until now, A-Rod had denied their relationship had changed. Sitting in jeans and a black sweat jacket, Rodriguez said it was ???important??? that people heard the truth directly from him.
???Let???s make a contract,??? Rodriguez said after the first Jeter question. ???You don???t ask me about Derek anymore, and I promise I???ll stop lying to all you guys.???
???The reality is there???s been a change in the relationship over 14 years and, hopefully, we can just put it behind us,??? he went on. ???You go from sleeping over at somebody???s house five days a week, and now you don???t sleep over. It???s just not that big of a deal.???
Jeter had left the clubhouse by the time reporters were allowed back in. His agent, Casey Close, said later that Jeter didn???t want to comment.
Most of the Yankees have long concluded the relationship between their captain and Rodriguez is a non-issue.
???They???re probably not as tight as they used to be, but it???s not a situation where they don???t look at each other and don???t say, ???Hi.??? They???re teammates and they???re still friends,??? Jason Giambi said.
???I suspect it???s nowhere near as bad as the general perception is,??? general manager Brian Cashman added.
During the offseason, former Yankee Darryl Strawberry said Jeter needs to ???embrace??? Rodriguez. A-Rod said he didn???t feel Jeter needed to support him more.
???I???m a big boy. I???m 31 years old now, so I should be able to help myself out there,??? he said. ???I care about what he thinks about me on the field. I think it???s important for us to be on the right page. And we are. We???re here to win a championship together.???
While Rodriguez won the AL MVP award for the second time in 2005, he was booed for stretches at Yankee Stadium last season, when he hit made 24 errors. Some thought that if Jeter spoke out on A-Rod???s behalf, fans would go easier on him.
???Derek can???t stop the fans from booing. They boo all of us,??? catcher Jorge Posada said.
And then came another abysmal postseason for Rodriguez. He???s 4-for-41 (.098) without an RBI in his last 12 playoff games dating to 2004. He got just one hit in last year???s playoff loss to Detroit.
???I stunk. And when you stink, sometimes, you have to call it,??? he said. ???I went 1-for-14 last year with an error and that???s pretty lousy.???
As the Yankees were eliminated in Game 4, he was dropped to eighth in the batting order for the first time in a decade.
???It was very disappointing,??? he said. ???Yes, I was embarrassed.???
Rodriguez is entering the seventh season of his $252 million, 10-year contract, a deal he signed with the Texas Rangers. He can terminate the agreement after the season, forfeit the $72 million owed in the final three years and become a free agent. He also could pressure New York for an extension.
He said he wants to remain a Yankee, but wouldn???t promise that he will. Like Mariano Rivera, he is thinking ahead to the new ballpark scheduled to open in 2009.
???My goal is to go in with Derek and Mo and open the new stadium. I???m saying it pretty clear, fellas,??? he said.
Steve Swindal, the Yankees??? general partner, saw it the same way.
???I would love to see him end his career here. He???s great. He???s the real deal,??? was his reaction.
Rodriguez knows his contract has made him a target, adding to his burden. Still, he doesn???t mind.
???I love being the highest-paid player in the game. It???s pretty cool. I like making that money. You get crushed, but you know what? It???s pretty cool. I enjoy it,??? he said. ???I was poor and broke when I grew up. I didn???t have that type of money to help out children. Now I get a chance to help out children. Whatever you say is important. People listen to you. That???s pretty cool. Nobody used to listen to me before.???

Jeter doesn't see relevance of A-Rod story
TAMPA, Fla. -- Maintaining they have a fine relationship on the field and in the clubhouse, Derek Jeter resolutely refused to discuss the deterioration of his friendship with Alex Rodriguez away from the ballpark.
"It's annoying to hear about it all the time. Everyone assumes they know what our relationship is. Everyone assumes -- they see us on the field, if one person gives another one a look, it's a story. If we're at opposite ends of the bench, people say it's a story." -- Derek Jeter
One day after A-Rod finally acknowledged the pair no longer are best friends, Jeter sat in the same first-base dugout at Legends Field and was asked to respond.
"I don't have a rift with Alex," the New York Yankees captain said Tuesday. "We go out there. We work
together. This is our fourth year to be playing together. It's annoying to hear about it all the time. Everyone assumes they know what our relationship is. Everyone assumes -- they see us on the field, if one person gives another one a look, it's a story. If we're at opposite ends of the bench, people say it's a story."
On Tuesday, A-Rod said he felt relieved to speak his mind.
"That's as honest as I've been here since I've been here, the four years, and that part of it felt good," Rodriguez said Tuesday as he left Legends Field.
Shortly after arriving at spring training on Monday, Rodriguez said it was time for him to stop pretending that his relationship with Jeter was as close as it was in the 1990s. The pair have drifted apart since Rodriguez made critical remarks in a 2001 Esquire article.
"I don't see the relevance of it," Jeter said. "It has no bearing on us playing baseball."
Jeter refused to say how close he and Rodriguez are away from the ballpark.
"How would I characterize it? I would characterize it as it doesn't make a difference," he said. "What we do away from the field, how much time we spend together, really makes no difference when we're playing."
Coming up through the Yankees' organization and becoming a key component of the unit that won four World Series titles from 1996-2000, Jeter has worked hard to avoid discussing his private life.
"I understand my job is public, but your personal life is your personal life. Once you open that door, it doesn't stop," he said. "Away from the field, people want to keep tabs on how many times we go out to eat, things like that. That has no bearing on what we're trying to do."
Jeter was criticized by some last year for not voicing sufficient support for Rodriguez, who struggled during the regular season and was booed at Yankee Stadium.
"From Day One I've said I support Alex," he said. "The only thing I'm not going to do is tell the fans what to do. ... I don't think it's my job to tell fans to boo or not to boo."
Rodriguez said he felt a need to conform during his first three seasons in New York. He appears to be taking a different tack this year.
"I just found myself trying to say always the right things and trying not to screw up," he said. "And I think that came across for some people as very disingenuous and phony perhaps -- those are the things you hear. If you're going to get chopped up into pieces, you might as well be as honest as you can and get ripped for it."
He thinks he'll be more at ease going forward.
"You get a little gun-shy, that's all," he said. "It all comes down to being yourself."

Of course Jeter would say that hes a company man and anything that benefits the company he will do. Just like the kiss asses I work with the "Company people". They say whatever they think you want to hear and do the exact opposite.
I happen to agree with Jeter, Jeter has always been like this.....he doesn't like drama unlike the drama queen at third.
Jeter just wants to play baseball and thats it, do you know how many times they ask him about Arod during interviews.... one too many. In NY they go overboard.
I don't see why he has to baby sit a player who once threw him under the bus.

A-Rod's clearing the air & maybe the bases
Tuesday, February 20th, 2007
TAMPA - Call it an important step in the right direction for Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees. By acknowledging his disconnect with Derek Jeter, A-Rod has put the onus on Jeter to act more like a captain while perhaps freeing himself from the approval-seeking that seemed to weigh so heavily and hinder his talent.
Or is that reading too much into this?
Chances are it will be months before we know if A-Rod's decision to "cut the BS" and come clean yesterday on his relationship with Jeter has any sort of tangible effect on his game, most notably his struggles in the postseason.
But there was something about A-Rod's demeanor as he sat in the Yankee dugout and addressed the media on his first day in spring camp that made you think this was an important moment for him.
For a change his answers didn't sound rehearsed, calculated or aimed to please. Obviously he'd made up his mind to stop pretending that he and Jeter were still chums, but it wasn't as if he was referring to index cards as he answered questions. And he had to know his willingness to discuss their relationship would not sit well with the shortstop.
Indeed, by characterizing theirs as a "working relationship," A-Rod left little doubt about how significantly their friendship has deteriorated from a time when he said they'd been "blood brothers."
As for how and why, A-Rod wasn't going there, but since nothing more sinister has surfaced in six years, it still seems the infamous Esquire magazine article from 2001 remains the smoking gun that changed everything.
Three years ago, in fact, in his first spring training with the Yankees, A-Rod admitted his mistake of denigrating Jeter as a complementary player in that article, and recalled that upon seeing how the quotes read, he'd jumped in his car and driven to Tampa to make amends with the shortstop.
To no avail, it seems, even after all these years.
Jeter himself has never discussed the matter publicly, and surely won't now. That's fine, except that his indifference obviously gnawed at A-Rod and, as I wrote after the playoff loss to the Tigers in October, created all this negative energy that helped suffocate the Yankees when they needed to pull together and fight for their playoff lives in Detroit.
It was a hot-button issue then, as evidenced by the 300 or so E-mails I received, split about 50-50 on my opinion that Jeter deserved blame for not acting more like a captain toward A-Rod. And chances are A-Rod has lit the fuse again.
It's hard to imagine that Jeter will offer any insight. When Daily News beat writer Mark Feinsand chased him down on his way to the parking lot yesterday, Jeter said he didn't see the relevance of the questions, and ended the brief conversation by saying, "I'm not talking about relationships."
Still, he's going to face a media assault today at Legends Field, and how Jeter handles it could be revealing.
Same goes for Joe Torre. For in addition to addressing the Jeter relationship, A-Rod admitted yesterday that he was "very disappointed" and "embarrassed" by Torre's decision to bat him eighth in Game 4 against the Tigers.
Of course, A-Rod also took responsibility for it, admitting that he "stunk" in the postseason, and, as it related to hitting eighth, had to "look in the mirror and say, 'What the hell did I do to get myself in that situation?'"
Still, you have to wonder about his relationship with Torre, especially considering that a person close to the situation says A-Rod has hard feelings about the manager's role in supplying details for the Sports Illustrated story last summer that portray him as a lost, lonely Yankee.
During his press conference last week, Torre said he didn't think there was any need to talk to A-Rod about any of it. In addition, he said he thought any criticism of Jeter for not speaking up in support of A-Rod was unfounded.
Torre went home ill yesterday morning and didn't speak publicly, so he too will have plenty of questions waiting for him today regarding A-Rod and Jeter.
But nothing he or Jeter says is likely to matter as much what A-Rod said yesterday. For somebody who has always seemed to spend too much time worrying about saying the right thing, he looked and sounded like someone who finally decided to just be himself.
It could be a sign that A-Rod has come to grips with some issues, most importantly the idea that he'll never be buddies again with Jeter.
Then again, you never know with A-Rod. It's always possible that his decision to discuss Jeter was based on the advice of his many PR advisers, and he pulled it off with authenticity.
It just didn't feel that way in the dugout yesterday. It felt more like A-Rod unburdening himself a bit, something that might allow his enormous talent to flow a little more freely. One thing for sure: It can't hurt.

Even if he did that, he'd still be a flaming homo.
I really can't argue that.
I think he only had 1 good playoff.
I did.....he just needs a hug.
Send Foreman over he always seemed like he needed a hug as well....
