A-ROD

NYC media tryng to destroy A-ROD---even though they claim they are not? at the least--- they care more about ratings than they do about A-ROD--that much is likely true.
 
Isn't that the way it's always worked with the media here and the sports teams and stars? I still remember the media, and many fans, trashing Patrick Ewing back in the day, only to then come crawling back out and longing for the Ewing days once the Knicks began to turn south.
 
the NYC media may not be trying to destroy A-ROD---- but in their quest for radio-tv ratings and newspaper sales--- they likely could care less if they destroy him.
 
Speaking of Yankees in the media, YES caught a very loud F-Bomb and S-Bomb from Jorge Posada over the weekend at Skydome. The Blue Jays pitcher threw at Jorge's head and he let him know, in no uncertain terms, how unhappy he was with "That's twice you've thrown that falcon snow!"
 
wealthy guys like A-ROD and others do not need to be defended. I just see media overkill on some sports and news stories. and the goals are tv-radio ratings and newspaper sales--- not informing the public. more vital news stories go unreported or not reported enough.
 
The media is not destroying A-Rod. A-Rod is destroying A-Rod. Like so many athletes before him, happening far more often in this day and age than it did in the past, A-Rod has let his wealth go to his head. He thinks that just because he "made it", he doesn't have to go out there and take as much batting practice and hustle as much as the other players. Take it from someone who's seen the type before. A man of strong moral character like Albert Pujols does not let success affect his attitude, but A-Rod is not like that - since he's already made it to the elite club, he knows that he can afford to spend more time partying than he does on his game. Regardless what media scrutiny he comes under, he knows he has a team that will stand by him. If I was Brian Cashman, I'd try to work out a trade with the Houston Astros to get the underused and (undervalued) Morgan Ensberg and the pitching help that the Yankees so desperately need - of course, it's highly doubtful we'll see that or any big trade involving them before the deadline.
 
Soulcrusher,

Local sportscasters regularly report that A-ROD's showing up hours before games for extra batting practice. While he does need better production, YES and CBS reporters say it's not for lack of effort.
