ARod wants to play for a team that "can win multiple championships" so long as he is the highest paid player in baseball and has his rear kissed daily. If faced with a choice between playing for a winner or getting the biggest contract ever, is there any doubt which he will choose? History says he'll go for the extra buck -- just as he did when he signed with Texas.

Our Father
Who art at Fenway
Baseball is thy game
Thy Kingdom come
World Series won
now on to the Cask and Flagon
and give us this day
the Cy Young Award
as we forgive those
like Bill Buckner
AND LEAD US NOT
TO AQUIRE A-ROD....

He is trying to get Boston intersted because I bet he is starting to realize that the bidding process is different without Boston or NY in the mix. Arod will be taking a pay cut.

A-Rod is for show, but when it really counts, say playoff’s, he has fades away into A-Not’s disappearing acts.

I am not an A-Rod fan even a little bit and I really hope that the Sox won’t pursue him. That being said he wouldn’t be the first high profile, arrogant “superstar” sports figure to ever be adopted into a Boston team and suddenly turn around. Maybe he’s already woken up to the fact that ego will never get him a World Series Championship.

I hope it’s not mutual. A-Rod chose to sleep with the enemy and that cannot be forgiven.

as soon as Payrod gets to Boston, they will never ever win another world series....

Payrod is not a champion.....he's a pretty boy who probably uses some "enhancements".....

look at pics of him over the years....he really seems to have smallish hands and a petite frame early on......he seems to have bulked up quite a bit....

of course when he played for the lowly Mariners, he was a great player...I think like Bonds he felt he could become even greater if he had a little "help".....Imo only and I am just guessing...
