Bullcrap... this is an awful judgment call by Girardi--Arod hits well against Verlander (4 for 7 this year with 2 HR)....make a legit post instead of some silly post like you just made

Totally agree
He is fukkin worthless
Point of thread is Girardi disrespected the shit out of him with this move
4 for 7 this year vs Verly with 2 hrs
Nunez an atrocious fielder. Could easily make 3 errors tonight

Is Girardi hanging A-Rod out to dry to save his own skin? It's a joke to bench him again. It's a team game and he's not the only bat not producing, making a scapegoat out of your highest paid player when you should be trying to win at all costs is foolish. A-Rod deserves to play, someone of his calibre won't stay cold forever.

Doubt it was Girardi's call probably came from upper management.

I don't blame Girardi. It's not like they haven't given Arod the benefit of the doubt. Also he has had ample opportunity to swing out of his slump but to no avail. Yankees are fed up with the guy.

They want him gone ASAP
Figuring if they piss him off he will agree to a trade
They will pay most of remainder of contract and ship him away this offseason
Tonights move will put an end to his Yankee career

He's from Miami, the Marlins traded Hanley away.
Could he go there? I can't imagine him going anywhere else.
The Yankees would have to eat pretty much the entire contract. ARod appears to be done.

Posted Miami the other day as being his landing spot when traded

Perhaps its an attempt to manufacture runs for the Yanks as we know they've been poor at doing such. They've got some speed in the lineup - Even so, this game is intriguing in so many ways. I really want to put a big play on this, but @ the moment SMH.

Haha how do you bench A-Rod in this spot? He hits well against Verlander, and he isn't the only one slumping. Actually he has more hits this series than Cano, why no talk about benching Cano? Cano looks more lost than anyone I've seen in a while, he is so pull happy they just pitch outside and he rolls over on every pitch. A-Rod can't be surprised, he is gonna take the blame for being the 100 million dollar man. They will bench him and when they lose this series blame him for everything

The Yanks should eat most of AFraud's contract and deal him to the Marlins for a few low level prospects in the offseason.
In other words, bend over and take it in the 2 hole just like they make all the small mkt teams do at the trade deadline (See Ichiro and Bobby Abreu "trades" to name just a few)

You're right Payton - on top of everything he doesn't even look like he's in good condition. Probably has the range of a pregnant rhino at this point.

Loving how the Yankees woes are all A-Rod's fault.
Raul Ibanez is the only player living up to his contract

Do you have any fukkin clue how bad a fielder Nunez is
Aroid in his sleep at his age is a better fielding SS than Nunez
He was absolutely going to play SS tonight if he wasnt benched
Upper Mgmt and Cashman made the call on Aroid being benched if I had to guess
