They were saying "Lou."

"Just when you think Alex Rodriguez has figured out how to turn around this public relations' nightmare, he does something ridiculous."

Everyone in the country stand up.

If you thought Alex Rodriguez had figured out how to turn around this PR nightmare, you can sit down.

That's what I thought.

What did Alex Rodriguez do in the past ... oh, the past ten years ... that made anybody think he had figured out how to turn around this PR nightmare?


"After Rodriguez won over some of the crowd and said all the right things during an interview session, he climbed into a burgundy SUV."

He sounded like an idiot.

I truly think ARod may be mentally deficient. He looks sharp and polished and I think that's why it doesn't fit.

Like, I heard him say the other day that he was comfortable batting fourth because he'd batted fourth for the past five years in New York. That's untrue. I don't mean the playoffs where he batted 8th. I mean 2004, when Torre batted him second.


"As A-Rod approached the vehicle the passenger side window went down and Yuri Sucart was the man behind the wheel."

Nice.


"His first time at the plate the boos were 60-40, 50-50 second time and by the third time more fans were cheering than jeering.

But after this dimwitted Rodriguez move, who knows what the reaction will be tomorrow."

Oh, for crying out loud.

George A. King III is actually attempting to count the number of boos in the stands.

If ARod had only had ten more at-bats, then about 150% of the fans in the stands would have been cheering for him.

I promise you, George A. King III, nobody's perception of Alex Rodriguez has changed because he got into a minivan with his cousin.

I know precisely what the reaction will be tomorrow. Half boos and half cheers.
