I don't know what Alex Rodriguez got for Valentine's Day last week, but whatever it was, it has surely filled his heart with love. His heart is so filled, in fact, that he has lots of extra love to spread around, and it seems he's decided to give all that love to his Yankees teammates.First Alex offered up his unborn daughter to Andy Pettite, and now he wants us all to know how awesome Derek Jeter is.
"I think Jeter is going to have an MVP season," Rodriguez said. "That's my prediction for the year. And Bobby's [Abreu] going to have a monster year."Does this mean that A-Rod and Jeter are BFF's again? Have the sleepovers resumed?
"I think [Jeter]'s going to have an explosive, monster season. I think he's in great shape. I think he did some great things this winter with his workouts. I'm very excited for his year."
Or does Alex have a more sinister reason for his praise of Derek? Could it be that Rodriguez is somehow hoping that he can deflect all the attention away from him this season, and place it on Jeter? No? I didn't think so either, Alex is probably just saying this because that's what Alex does: he kisses everybody's butt.

What a Regular Season performer he is. I'm not a Yankee fan, but I have to admit he "gets it done" more often than not in the Reg. season. But does anyone let his Team down more in the Post-season than A-Rod?? The pro athlete that best fits that description is Dan Marino. Marino played some of his worst games in his whole career in the playoffs. In a majority of Dan's playoff losses his Passer Rating was around 60. They both have 1 other thing in common---their play was a big reason why neither one has a Championship Ring.

Enough with the hating. Arod is the best player in the game. There is nothing wrong with talking up your team and teammates.

I think A-rod is the next 'roid fibbing Clemens. He lied about being tested nine or ten times last season admitting that he greatly exagerated the number of tests. This guy is an overpaid bum who, when the chips are down (post season) consistantly underperforms.

Its pretty obvious A-Rod will not have a good season this year. Last year he didn't care what people thought of him and wasn't pressured. Now he is trying to please everyone and he will end up pleasing no one.
