Happy Belated Thanksgiving All!!! I hope you are all enjoyed your turkey, gravy, and stuffing! With that said, I am here with my(late) Holiday Special blog. As a New York Yankee fan, there is certainly a lot of things to be thankful for. The owners like to spend in order to contend, they have won 27 World Series, and the Yankees play in the greatest city in the world. There is one thing that I am not thankful for and that is Alex Rodriguez. We all know that how he was suspended for the season, but he lied about everything.
There is a two part question I really have:A) How dumb is Alex Rodriguez? and B) How dumb does Alex Rodriguez think we are? Honestly, these are two really valid questions that all Yankees fans and personnel should be thinking. As everyone knows, A-Rod was suspended for the full season last year. His original suspension was for 211 games, but got it reduced to 162 games. None the less, through the whole appeals process he kept denying how he had any involvement with everything in BioGenesis.
Alex did not want to go on the stand, instead he insisted that Bud Selig("a key witness") should have testified. Is it because he knew if he lied to a judge he'll be brought up on more charges? It does not seem as if A-Rod actually thought any of this through. On top of everything, he decided to sue the Yankees medical staff and the Players Union. What good would suing any of this groups do for him? It shows that he was trying to cause a distraction for the trial. He was not playing smart at all.
It recently came out that he "paid off" his cousin Yuri to keep quiet for him. After that happened, Yuri's wife, Carmen, came out with a letter denying that Alex ever gave them money to keep quiet with everything. What people do for money sometimes, I usually would not believe her, but after everything A-Rod did, I don't believe him at all. If you already lied about so many other things, how can you just come out and say you paid people off. As much bad as someone like Anthony Bosch did, I believed his 60 minutes story more than I ever believed Alex.
He smartly stayed out of the public for most of this past baseball season. If he does well in 2015, a lot of the fans will "forget" what happened with everything. Personally, I will never forget, nor will I forgive. Let's just hope this distraction does not distract the Yankees this year. As long as he is getting paid by the Yankees, I do want him to help the team, but by no means is he Derek Jeter.
