Fans reject Manny and A-Rod for the right reasons
Circling The Bases —
There are all kinds of interesting angles to take on the All-Star rosters that were announced yesterday, and we'll certainly be getting to those over the coming days. One of the ones I don't think anyone here at CTB would be inclined to take, however, is how the failure of Manny Ramirez or Alex Rodriguez to make the All-Star team represented an anti-PED statement by the voters. That doesn't stop MLB.com's Mike Bauman , however: A record 223.5 million votes were cast for the 2009 All-Star Game selections. Without pandering to the audience, this process had both quantity and ...

The Yankees didn’t go by the doctors orders and A-Rod suffered for it. You know Alex likes to play each and everyday, so it was hard for them to take him out of the lineup. His performance would obviously go down coming off major hip surgery. I mean..the guy didn’t get ...

It is understandable, of course: for the kind of money the Yankees are paying A-Rod, more was expected. These are supposed to be the seasons that justify the ...
