heh. awww, thats cute, joseph. you guys'd be great!
Quote: Joe Mama said: I notice you didn't answer my question. The one about potentially trading A-Rod. The one that has been getting a lot of ink in the NY newspapers. Is that because you have no opinion, or because the idea of losing your Yankee spankee material is too much for you to bear?
this is a majority of the answer.

the rest? "meh"
so, ok, he had a bad week or month or game or series or whatever. what, is he only batting 280? are his 21 home runs embarassing? 100 hits thus far useless?
he's "cold" now. that'll change. specially if you keep flirting with him!
ny papers hype trade and "failure" outta this because thats what ny papers do. and, the only ones that really seem to make big deals out of this are newbie yankee fans and long-time red sox fans. you also both enjoy bemoaning home the 5 year "drought" the yanks have been in without a ring.
don't worry, we'll manage.
Quote: Joe Mama said: how do you feel about him getting booed?
this is also sortuva big city thing -- i'm sure i can remember a few bosox fans booing manny and nomar and schilling and pedro ...
with arod in particular, i don't really care, cuz he's no favorite of mine.
Quote: Joe Mama said: do you think the Yankees will make a deadline deal?
more than likely. i'm not sure if it'll be the big abreu / shef deal that is being hyped. it might just be a series of more 'minor' pickups.
