Mo Money...

How uncouth can A-Rod and his skank manager Scott Boras get? Making the announcement about opting out of his contract at the 9th inning of the World Series.... (oh, sorry.... they waited for the last pitch... my bad).

From what I gather so far... Alex is saying that because the team is so fragmented right now with Torre leaving and Posada, Petitte and Rivera not knowing whether they are coming back is making an impact on him wanting to stay. Nice.

He kept saying that he wanted to be considered a "real yankee... that this was the only place where he felt comfortable playing. Well, like Derek Jeter once said "Just because you wear pinstripes, that doesn't make you a Yankee."

It seems that even $252 Million over 10 years is not enough money for this pinstripe wearing guy.
