I think people are complaining about it just because Alex Rodriguez did it. It's perfectly legal.

But unsportsmanlike. He's a total deuche.

Not that I live in Boston or anything, and we search for things to say bad about ARod.

I fucking HATE Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees but that's a legit play. Fuck the guy who gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and can't catch the fucking ball. I'd do it, and I bet a lot of other players would too if given the chance. The only reason anyone is talking about it is because it worked.

Cheating on his wife...or calling out "mine" on a fly ball?



Edit: Or for having his best month as a Yankee in April?
Double Edit: My cable is out tonight, and I'm feeling like I missed out on a new reason to hate him.

Agree, anyone else and it would blow over.

I'm curious if you feel that all the other little things players do to win games are unsportsmanlike as well? I feel it was indeed unsportsmanlike (like all the other things I'm about to mention), but I think in light of everything else in baseball, it was fine. Charging 2nd base when you have no chance purposefully trying to mess up the double play, pretending you caught a fly to the outfield clean even when it bounces to get an out, pretending you didn't break your wrist on a partial swing, the "air tag", conveying pitch signs to the batter from 2nd base.

Uh, I hoped the pic would make that clear... but no I don't care the opinion about cheating on his wife... KOBE!

It's pretty sportsmanlike if it's within the rules of the game. If after the game, he had a press conference and said, "I'm the fucking greatest man alive, fuck all other baseball players, yeah!!!" that would be unsportsmanlike. Stuff like charging fielders, compared to the general environment of a baseball game, seems out of character (i.e., unsportsmanlike) for the game, but it's still part of the game. Baseball isn't about trying to win by restricting playing strategies; it's not very smart to allow yourself to get out by failing to do whatever you can within the rules of the game to win.
