Inky and I were driving through New York the day after the World Series ended and we spent our time listening to all the vitriol the Yankees had for Alex Rodriguez. Oops! Don't they know that you never talk shit about an ex to a friend until you're sure they've moved on. Now it looks like A Rod is going to be back in NYC for the discount rate of $275 Million, and the Yankee fans are going to have to start boasting about his MVP years again. If he had gone to any other team they would have gone on and on about how much better the team is with out him (hell they were doing that on WFAN already) but no matter, they'll just throw that into reverse and praise him.
This is one of those deals where I think everyone will get what's coming to them. Alex will play great, and get cheered; will play bad and get booed, and the fans will have plenty more early playoff exits to bitch about. But, the Boss will have a marquee name to hang out there when the new Stadium opens, and that's what this was always about.
