Because A-Rod didn鈥檛 explode with鈥 don鈥檛 know鈥ay another 50 homeruns in the ALDS he鈥檚 been taking hits left and right. Meanwhile Jeter and Posada were even less stunning in the post season than A-Rod but they get a pass鈥hat鈥檚 that about? The only other bright spots in the Yanks鈥?post season were Cano and Damon.

Maybe Yankee Nation should cut A-Rod a break. I mean who else on the Yankee roster has contributed 54 homeruns, 156 RBIs, 24 stolen bases, and a .314 batting average this year? The closest two Yanks to A-Rod鈥檚 regular season production were Matsui (103 RBIs/24 HRs) and Abreu (101 RBIs/16 HRs). Yet A-Rod鈥檚 the one getting it from the fans? And trust me鈥here will be tons of weeping and gnashing of teeth once A-Rod flees the N-Y-C for a more appreciative fan base.

He's not getting a raw deal, he's getting a very fair shake. Believe me, Yankee fans are not blaming losing to Cleveland on A-Rod, or Jeter, or Posada (they were both awful, but they have so much choke money in the bank that they're boo proof). There is more than them to blame. No the biggest problem was Wang went out and laid big eggs on the mound. He needed to be competetive for us to win. If A-Rod opts out, then he has no sack, and can't stand up to his agent. That is when he'll get ripped for being what he is, a phony. The fans don't want A-Rod to go, they want him to step up and produce when it really matters. I was at game 3 and every at bat for him he got the MVP chant, he was hacking at pitches he took all year, so over anxious. Yankee fans want to love A-Rod, he just wants us to love him too much .

Yes. And He should.

I agree with you completely. A-rod always gets some much heat for not being good in the playoffs. But the entire season he was nothing short of amazing and he was probably responsible for the yankees even making the postseason. Just because the yankees have not made it out of the first round of the playoffs is no way his fault alone. Their are 9 guys on a team and having A-rod hit a homerun every at bat is just not realistic. People need to lay off A-rod and just let him play the game. He will get his rings eventually but if yankee fans keep acting the same way to him then they will have the unfortunate experience of seeing him win his rings with a different team.

definitely.yankee fans should cut him a brake.he can't do it all by himself.nobody else did anything.is a-rod the only player that goes up to the plate.is he the one on the mound giving up runs.i don't think so.he's the best player in the game.when he's not here next year you will realize what a mistake it is to let him go.

the problem is a-rod always doe sthis he neevr hits good pitching he is numbers player beats up weaker pitching he ahs great number all year no doubht but look at his stats against the top oitchers in the league and when boston made the conback in 2004 a-rod fell apart

Yes, I think he's not being respected for what he's meant to that team. At the beginning of the season he was practically the only one hitting well. He's probably the biggest reason they made the playoffs the last few years, even though he's not been as good in the post-season.
However, he's not the first Yankee to be cheered one inning and booed the next. All that money he demanded was certainly part of it, but it's New York. They booed Babe Ruth at times.

Thank u finally somebody who agrees with me its not like the teams are just going to throw out any pitcher just to give him innings. OK A-Rod was slumping alittle but he did do more than Jeter.

I don't blame him if he leaves.

Dint you Hear what Cashman said he said threes not one certain Person to Blame in October , They win and Loose as an organazation so its not only his fault the other People on the Team who dint do there Job

What are you talking about?? A-Rod was cheered all season long by Yankee fans. Perhaps you didn't hear the
"MVP" chants all season long. It wasn't just A-Rod who didn't hit, most of the other Yankees didn't either. Yankee fans are not knocking A-Rod. We DO appreciate what he did. He carried the team in the first half, without him, the Yankees don't make the playoffs. We also know that Jeter and Posada didn't hit., so it isn't just A-Rod "taking hits left and right". A-Rod is not getting a raw deal, there's plenty of blame to go around. How are you so sure that A-Rod is going to flee "the N-Y-C"? If he left, you can rest assured there will be no "weeping and nashing of teeth". Though A-Rod is far and away the game's best player, the Yankees have not won with him, and they won four championships WITHOUT him.

Also, we Yankee fans do not refer to ourselves as "Yankee Nation". The term "Nation" as it refers to Red Sox fans as far as we are concerned.

Noi the fans got a raw deal from AROD
