But do you dislike the people who write really stupid criticisms of him more? i don't like them either, but those people don't make me like a-rod. i think he's a phony d-bag. Well, ok, but either they feel vindicated and crow about it or A-rod feels vindicated and is loved by Yankee fans and we mostly don't hear about it. He's not going to approach the level of love that "true Yankees" get, so I can't see that being too annoying. lol Nathan
