I'm watching this game sort of in the background but I just wanted to say that the **** the media makes up about A-Rod is mega-monkey-tilt-inducing. God dammit I want to throw my TV out the window.
Joe Buck is in full-on ****** mode tonight.
"A-Rod is re-writing his post-season book..."
"A-Rod has been playing so relaxed this year since admitting the steroid use."
"A-Rod can float in the background and not have to do too much."
"A-Rod last year was chewing his gum hard and trying to look relaxed - but he wasn't."
"A-Rod is really locked in because he's relaxed, carefree, off of steroids...(insert any ridiculous assertion with no way to prove it)"
I can't stand these retroactive comments. Media sees a player do well then comes up with reasons that justify them playing well. It's never variance. It's always some mystical bullsh*t and they mention it to sound smart.
God I hate it and I'm ready to stop watching the entire serious because it is so anger-inducing.
That is all.
