More A-Rod bullschit, he yells "It's mine" behind Toronto infielder

[ieffinhatecardio]

Apparently in last night's game against Toronto A-Rod was on base when a pop-up was hit to the third baseman and A-Rod being the weasel he is yelled "it's mine" as he was running the bases behind the Toronto third baseman. The third baseman backed off and the ball dropped allowing three runs to score.  And then he lied about it after the game saying he didn't yell anything even though the video clearly showed him yelling.

I'm searching for a link but they're talking about it on WEEI right now.


Just another in a long line of cheap shots by the most talented baseball player on the planet. Look for A-Rod to get drilled next time they play Toronto.

What a friggin dirtbag.

yeah ive seen the vid a few times here on the news......it looked like he yelled "haaaaa" , or something like that.

no rule against it but still a bush league play on his part.

[body88]

Oh brother. After I defend this guy against the papers trying to ruin him. Thanks arod. This latest incident was busch league to say the least,

[headhuntersix]

Had that been in Boston they would be knocking the crap outa each other.

[Camel Jockey]

If the fucking NY Post hadn't been prying into his private life then I bet you this incident wouldn't have happened.

More reason to hate the NYC media and fans.

[blinky]

ya i just made a post about this in the other topic thats started here. pretty childish thing to do..and even worse to lie about it to reporters when its clearly visible on tape. even johny damon said it was a cheap thing to do. what does that tell ya???

like someone said, wait til they play the jays again and see how many times he gets drilled   


by the way im a blue jays fan

what does that have to do with it??
beacause the media took pictures of him out with some other woman he decided to be a little child and distract the other team while theyre making a catch?? ya youre right...its all the medias and fans fault he did that 

[Purge_WTF]

  Hey guys, give the dude a break. I mean, after all, if you were on a losing streak like the one the Yankees are on right now, you'd be pulling out all the stops too.

pretty poor excuse.
you dont see the devil rays or royals(just to name 2) doing it.
a couple weeks ago the blue jays lost like 10 in a row and they didnt do it.

i played baseball untill i was 24 years old.. ive ran around the bases a million times, and never once would it even cross my mind to do that.. it just shows you he has a scumbag mindset. and this isnt the first time hes pulled a move like this

but im not saying what he did was wrong.. whenever someone is caught in a rundown, the runner is always yelling "ball" to get the other guy to throw by accident.. when a catcher runs over to catch a popup by the other teams dugout they always yell "i got it" and they never try to stop them from falling in the dugout.

so i dont think he did anything wrong -but he's still a scum, and hopefully he wont be wearing the pinstripes next year.

[tu_holmes]

I admit it... I love it!

Didn't guys do that stuff in old days to win... I think it's hilarious. Baseball is supposed to be fun right?

That shit is funny.

Uh yeah, maybe you don't watch a lot of games because that happens all the time. I've seen opposing teams try and catch infielders plenty of times. In fact I saw a discussion on that very topic today on one of the Sports channels and the consensus was that teams did try and catch opposing players from falling into their dugouts.

BTW, I like how in one sentence you say he's got a scumbag mindset for doing it and in another sentence you're saying he didn't do anything wrong. 

This reminds me of that debate we had a while ago when you said you weren't a Yankee fan and you said Fenway was an easy place for lefties to hit homeruns and Yankee stadium was a hard place for lefties to hit homeruns. That debate didn't work out too well for you either.

[kh300]

dummy,, listen to it again. there was nothing wrong with what he did,, but the fact that he thought of it while running the bases shows you a lot.. how many other people do you think would even had the idea of calling for the ball?

and that "debate" about the homeruns was me fucking around with you, and i did a great job of pissing you off,, and obviously your still upset

[Wombat]

If a first baseman can try things like the hidden ball trick, then i don't see a problem with what Alex did...

and the players saying they never heard of anyone doing that are full of shit...I've seen a couple of interviews years back about guys using the classic noonon miss(from caddyshack) all the time...

Guys in basketball always say shit....A classic is basketball is when a guy is about to take a three pointed, they yell out "foot on the line" just to fck with them

  I wasn't making excuses for A-Hole; I was poking fun at him for being such a dillweed.

look I hate A-rod as much as anyone after stiffing my Sox but this is an everyday occurance in professional baseball. I know, I know you wouldn't think it went beyond little league but it does. I was a minor leauge Umpire for 3 years and probably saw it 4-5 times a week and hated it everytime.

The only rule that could be looked at as maybe applying to the play is 7.08.b

Any runner is out when He intentionally interferes with a thrown ball; or hinders a fielder attempting to make a play on a batted ball;

Now normally we are taught interference to be physical contact. At the highschool level it is different and we would have been encouraged to call a runner out for the same infraction.

I didn't know you were a Sox fan MM.

As for this being an everyday occurrence why is it that every manager and player that has been interviewed has said they've never seen it before and that it's a bush league move? And I'm talking about 15 guys or so that I've heard, seen or read about.

[Thin Lizzy]

Couldn't the thirdbaseman tell the difference between his shortstop's voice and A-Rod's?

[The Coach]

I lost all respect for him, you can expect the next time he faces Toronto, he'll get a ball thats a little more "high and tight" than usual, no one one his team defended his actions, that was pure little league BS!

oh it is Bush leauge, but I know that what's his face on baseball tonight last night...Vina? and today on MLB on XM they were calling it an everyday thing....I've seen it...the fact that it is A-Rod is why people act like it never happens.....his other stunts have labeled him

Go sox baby, got a chance to go 16.5 up on the Yanks this weekend!!

Because they are lying...It happens all the time...99 out of 100 don't fall for it so it's  never an issue...Do you realise how much jawing they do out there?...You think after benches clear and punches are thrown that all rules are followed? Some of these guys go slidding into second base screaming at the top of their lungs..You never hear a thing about it...Anything to throw them off...Pete Rose was famous for playing all out and running his mouth as much as possible...

Alex is being picked on because it worked...If the guy would have caught it, he would have looked at A-rod and laughed and said nice try...

Wouldn't one think that the hidden ball trick that you see from time to time at first base be called a bush league play?

So according to you there's a mass conspiracy against A-Rod? So he's a victim now?


The Blue Jay bench almost emptied because of it yet it's an everyday occurrence. Um, yeah. His own teammates aren't even defending him.

A-Rod's a dirtbag, it's not like he's never done anything shady before. He reminds me of Reggie Jackson in that way.

At this point the only people defending him are A-Rod nuthuggers because there aren't any players or coaches that I've seen come to his defense, including his own teammates.

I defend him, and I don't have any love for the guy either way... I always thought it was a part of baseball.

I agree that if the ball had been caught, it would have been a "whatever dude" situation.

I can't really see why it's that big a deal anyway... he yelled, dude dropped the ball. Is it any worse than putting your cleats up when you slide into second to mess up a double play? That is actually dangerous...

It is dirty baseball. There is a unwritten code among pro players. Crap like that is busch league.

Like baseball is "clean" or something?

I guess they can throw the world series or something... Oh wait, someone already did that.

I don't see any difference in that and hiding the ball, or sliding with your cleats up.
