Here We Go Again
Chien Ming Wang pitched the Yankees right out of any chance last night. He was Glavine-esque in his inability to shut down the Indians.
And what does the New York media focus on?
Yup, A-Rod. The Daily News had to write something. The Post, though less blaming, opened the gates as well.
Sports media, at least of the New York kind, is a parasite. Perhaps even a cancer. You see, the media does not want success. They want failure. Short-sighted as they are, they fail to recognize that success is a better story.
Why would two articles be written about Alex Rodriguez going 0-for-2 with 2 walks, one of which was an intentional walk to get the bat out of his hands, when no article wrote about Derek Jeter going 0-for-4 with a strikeout?
Don't get me wrong, Derek Jeter is my favorite player and one bad game hardly warrants an article. But it's also poor judgment to jump on A-Rod for the same thing. How about Jorge Posada and Hideki Matsui leaving a combined 10 men on base? Nope, A-Rod failed again.
And when he leaves, can you blame him?
