Anatomy of a Momma’s Boy

I am amazed to see yet again Alex Rodriguez take the easy way out. Well I am not that amazed because the man has done it his whole career.


Having been forced to come to a decision to either play for the USA or The Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic this coming March Alex decided that he could not decide and didn’t want to dishonor either country. To you this might seem to be a legit excuse but coming from the resident minority in the lodge I find it a huge copout. Alex Rodriguez could very well be the biggest wet blanket in all of sports. He stated in the Post that “Playing baseball for the New York Yankees allows you to honor and advance the interest of both without division.” The quote right there says it all.

Do you think that either country would have been upset if they were not chosen? I don’t think so. Who ever you play for that is fine just play. The majority of MLB stars are making a go of the World Baseball Classic. Mike Piazza is playing for Italy for god’s sake. He was able to make a choice with out worry about his image or what might happen because I think we all know that Italy needs to only enter into sporting events that involve foot work.

Alex just doesn’t embody someone I could ever get behind. He shows no passion no real heart he just seems like a guy who wants to be PC and never take a risk with anything. This isn’t meant to be a rant about how I think Arod Scorned me by leaving Seattle and nothing he can do can be great. This is a story about how when forced to make a stand Arod takes the easy way out and tries not to step on toes. He speaks from his wallet and the prepared speeches he must receive. He has no heart.
