And much to Mike Lupica and Joel Sherman's chagrin the Yankees are gonna focus more on Tanaka, Sabathia and the season at hand as opposed to wild A-Rod speculation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-39817023387186766162014-07-21T12:58:06.529-04:002014-07-21T12:58:06.529-04:00Carmelo is only a few non-clutch shots and a misse...Carmelo is only a few non-clutch shots and a missed playoff season from getting the A-Rod treatment. Actually, as long as he doesn't take pictures of himself staring at himself in the mirror then he should be fine. <br /><br />I was surprised that Sherman indicated there may be a bigger devil in baseball than A-Rod. Lupica is probably going to sue Sherman for "Failure to libel A-Rod" in a column.

Funny enough, until I read Sherman's article I had completely forgotten about the whole A-Rod situation and I imagine most baseball fans who aren't rooting for the Yankees are as well.<br /><br />Sherman's article wasn't even the typical A-Rod bashing that one normally gets from the NY media. He really wanted to hedge his bets by calling Manny the more offensive personality. Lupica would lean forward in his chair and not approve the sub standard A-Rod slander. <br /><br />Part of me wonders if Melo had left the Knicks then the NY columnists would be more focused bashing Melo as a selfish quitter than going back to the A-Rod well. Actually, who am I kidding. They would find some way to negatively compare Melo and A-Rod. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
