Soriano Back In The Bronx

Soriano got traded to the Nats from John Hart's Texas for three pieces of mystery meat and wound up back to the Yanks, from whence he came.

One of those pieces that went to the Nats from the Rangers was Armando Gallarraga, who got famously boofed by Jim Joyce elsewhere.

 

But enough about Bonser.

 

From whence is redundant.

Whence means "from where."

 

Ah, gotcha. No worries.

Hate seeing an 0-for-5 from Soriano tonight, but still glad to see him back.

Rodriguez fit well enough to win a couple of MVP awards and help them win a World Series.

I can understand the backlash now, but some Yankee fans have always been ridiculous with this crap about Rodriguez not fitting in or not being a true Yankee. Complete and utter foolishness.

 

A-Rod is Dorn with a better glove.

 

Saying the Yankees wouldn't have won 2009 with Soriano and without A-Rod assumes the Yankees wouldn't have found another way to add an all-star caliber player.

I'd say that's a false assumption.

 

Who gives a crap about whether he's a "true" Yankee -- whatever that means.

What has concerned me from his first day in pinstripes is what we already knew about Alex.

He's a selfish, spoiled, pampered, narcissistic prima donna who's as phony as a 3 dollar bill and worth about that much in the clutch.

There's no stat for it yet, but I'm sure someone will eventually be able to measure how much worse his teammates have played while being stuck in a clownshow clubhouse with A-Fraud for 162 games.

So please don't come at me with awards earned from piling up numbers in meaningless games, and meaningless situations. Those stats are as hollow as the man who accumulated them.

There's a reason why Seattle, then Texas, improved so dramatically after they got rid of his ass. Never in sports has there been a more obvious a case of addition by subtraction.

In retrospect, it's too bad for the Yankees that the players association scuttled A-Rod's deal with the Sawx. The Babe's curse would still be going strong if that emotionally fragile shithead had gone to Bahston instead.

 

You act like you ain't never seen a $3 bill.

 

Sports is littered with $3 bills. ARod draws the attention because of the contract. He's no bigger dick than dozens of guys in the NBA, NFL & MLB
