WTF, the dollar is at an all time low, polls are showing that some 65+ % of this nation expects things to get worse and a fucking baseball player wants to make more than $25 mill a year?????? People are losing their jobs and if they are lucky to find a job they have to get paid less with fewer benefits.
Wow..... there is something seriously wrong in this country when people are ok with athletes and entertainers greed as their neighbors lose everything.
I will never support a team that signs this asshole if they sign him for more.
(But I also realize if no one does then the fucking baseball union sues the owners for collusion. What a nice gig they got.)
On the a side note, I feel good for Tom Hicks who gets out from his A-Rod debacle and gets to use the money to keep maybe Michael Young or Ian Kinsler to long term contracts and keep the Rangers a viable contender for a while.

It's pro sports. You don't have to support the system if you don't want to.
And that Lupica column proves why I am an A-Rod fan, to a certain point. The city of New York has spent three years treating him like shit, and now that he is getting out of there they are acting as though replacing the best player in baseball with Wilson Betemit is OK.
They, especially the media members, are idiots and deserve whatever they get.
