A-Rod Tries the Patience of Even the Most Patient Yankee Fan

If you've gotten on the last nerve of the Anchoress - then you've really got not much of a chance to turn the crowd back to your favor.

A-Rod comes across to many as either a spoiled brat or a complete phony and that overshadows his talent. I mean we are talking about a guy who has 24 HR and 82 RBI and who won the AL MVP last year. However, we are also talking about the guys who famously has the largest contract in baseball history and who also happens to have 19 errors at third base and who always seems to make an error at the worst time.

I wonder why the error thing always happens to Yankee players. Think about it - Steve Sax, Chuck Knoblauch and now Alex Rodriguez. Can you think of a player from another organization who had mental problems in the field like those guys? Some guys are Yankee guys (like Don Mattingly and Paul O'Neill) and some guys just can't perform properly up to their talent level like Kenny Rogers or now Alex Rodriguez when they put on the pinstripes.

I find it funny that the Anchoress and her son have taking the dislike of A-Rod to such a level but I can't say I disagree with her sentiments.
