NY Media has been blasting A-Rod since Monday about him batting 6th in the lineup.
NY Post's King on A-Rod
On ESPN Radio's Stephen A. Smith show today, the host criticized the Yankees and partially A-Rod for failing to meeting their expectation of winning a World Series Championship since 2001. RodrÃguez is singled out again because of his salary size being the highest paid player in the game. Mussina & Giambi were also mentioned because of their $20 million paycheck for this season. YES Network's Michael Kay incorrectly and ignorantly pointed out that Yankees is only paying less than the ~$21 mil. amount for '06 season, because the contribution of Texas club in his trade to NYY. Thus, he should not be considered as a player making $20 million this season and excluded from the conversation. Obviously that's an incorrect determent to judge and expect what a player's performance should be; Stephen A. correctly with enthusiasm noted that.
On Mike & the Mad Dog on The Fan radio show last week, "Mad Dog" Chris Russo suggested the idea of intentionally the hitter ahead of A-Rod, if he were batting 4th (or the middle-of-the-lineup). He just thinks that A-Rod's head is just so screwed up now with all the criticisms that he won't be able to deliver now. It really all comes down to how Mr. RodrÃguez performs in the postseason this year.
