The Age of A-Rod: A Rambling, Borderline...
beyondthezero:
“The symbol of his age”: I can’t help but think that, of all the sentiments that get repeated about A-Rod, that’s the one that’s gonna stick. He wasn’t the 30 year-old slugger trying to jack a few more (McGwire), the all-century player envying the attention being showered on homer-happy lesser lights (Bonds), or the psychopathically competitive pitcher unwilling to accept natural...

“The lawn. Off.”
“You’re standing on my lawn. See this rifle I’m pointing at you? I think you know what to do, punk.”
“Still on my lawn? Are we not getting the message here? You needed to be off the lawn three seconds ago. Now git.”
“OK, OK. Stand on the fucking lawn. See what I care.”
“I know this whole lawn standoff deal is going to seem really silly once we’re unlikely...
