Yes it is. His team got mad at him for being in a slump. Which didn't help him get out of the slump. He is the highest payed player in the game and can even win MVP. He still was in a slump in the playoffs. Look at Albert he dont neven make close to what Alexs makes and he carries the Cards on his back.

No. I haven't seen any great performances by any of the Yankees over the last day or two. Precious Derek Jeter has looked just as bad as A-Rod, but of course the brain-dead Yankee fans are in love with him, so A-Rod will get all the blame.

NO.
A-Rod didn't throw one single pitch in this series.
Also, as far as I know, there were at least 8 other batters that failed to but runs up on the board yesterday or today.
Good pitching (Detroit) will beat good hitting (NY) almost every time. Add to that good hitting (Tigers) versus mediocre pitching (Yankees) and the Tigers couldn't lose this series.
So, be as jealous of A-Rod's money as much as you want, but don't lay this one at his feet.

As much as id hate to say...no it isnt. its not A-rods fault that they got shutout 6 to nothing and now its 7 to nothing and a no hitter going into the top of the 6th and A-rod...A-ROD is batting 8th.

Partially. That's the media picking on A-Rod. He's handled it well, I think.

A-Fraud is only partially to blame, the whole team CHOKED. It's had to play with your hands around your throat.

Yes. It's all his fault and the Yankees should get rid of him. I think this offseason they should trade him to my Cubs.

No. They did not have the pitching this year, and the Tigers did.

Probaly, but Detroit Tigers are kicking @$$. (Native Michiganian.) Yankees are usually really good, too.
