Re: 100% most annoying thing about the Arod/Boras thing.
[ QUOTE ]
Dids, I agree with you 100%. If anyone should be blamed for this, it should be ESPN/SI/Fox rather than ARod/Boras. [/ QUOTE ] They should start censoring the news to avoid disrupting events they have a financial interest in? Should Fox News withhold all Iraq casualty reports until after our eventual withdrawal? Boras totally controlled the timing here, he had another ten days to announce. I think he timed it for maximum effect, but didnt anticipate the backlash. At least he issued a genuine apology for it. |

I think people said the exact same thing you just did in the yankees offseason thread like 15+ times.

I think I would be a lot more mad about it had the Indians been in the World Series. But yea, it was a real lame thing to do.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't blame anybody. Fox did what was in its best interests, and ARod did what was in his. [/ QUOTE ] How was announcing it during game 4 in A-Rod's best interests? He had within anytime during the ten days after the World Series to do so. How does announcing it during Game 4 make anything different than announcing it the day after? |

Dids,
There is an entire thread on ARod opting out. That's where this stuff goes. Stop acting like you're more important than other posters. |

I agree that it sucks that things work this way, but they do work this way. |
