Default some facts/opinions on A-rod

im not a yankee fan but let's look at the realistic numbers for A-rod. You can't critique his numbers in the playoffs as the sample size is too small. When he got up in the 8th or 9th with a runner in scoring position he had at best a 25 to 30 percent chance to get a hit, so when he doesnt he falls into what will happen the majority of the time. He was hitting .276 in the post season before the 2 games he played in this year. Some comparisons, Ramirez has a slighly lower BA in the playoffs then Ariod and if u think vladamir Geuuerrera from the angels is so great he is hitting around .220 in 16 post season games. While i will agree hes not stellar in the post season the sample size is just too small and even with that sample size he has similiar home runs to ramirez pro rated in the post season. He is clearly the MVP and expectrations from him are to high, this guy isnt gonna hit .700 in the post season. My friend thinks the fans will bo him out of NY, i say nonsense..thoughts

The fans will boo him out of NY, but they will be retarded.

Jeter had a 6-44 stretch in the playoffs before.

In the court of public opinion I would think this will make it considerably more difficult for him to negotiate his was out of his $25 million a year deal in order to get an extension at $30 million a year.

true, unless you add a couple fruit-flies to the equation, then he's spazzing out like a retarded 12 year old.

agree with your overall point, but disagree with you last sentence: If he goes 0/4 the fans will boo him because they're idiots.
