A-Rod is red-hot

Baseball roundup: Thursday's action on the diamonds (http://www.canada.com/topics/sports/story.html?id=a9f9d25a-1521-40fd-969e-c2ab063c9890&k=71743)

I hate him.

He needs to do this in October, not April.

I agree Redskins_P

Don't you have to win in April in order to get to October?

I honestly feel bad for the guy, he's in a no-win situation. If he plays well people say let's see if he can do this in October. If he struggles people say he stinks.

I agree he needs to step it up in big games, and he's certainly brought alot of his troubles on himself. But I still think he's under a white-hot spotlight and he's over-analyzed to a ridiculous degree.

New Yorkers have a very short memory. He'll be toast in October.

Perception is reality Matty. A-Rod is one of the best players in the game, perhaps the history of the game. And there have been several games in the post-season where he's been clutch. But overall he hasn't been dominant in the post-season like he has in the regular season. And it doesn't help playing next to one of the game's most clutch post-season players in Derek Jeter.

I wonder though, let's say he has an incredible season this year and continues to be dominant right through the postseason. Will the monkey be officially off his back, or will people say let's see him do this again next year?

It will never be enough. He'll get celebrated this year, and if he tanks the following, it will be right back to square one.

arod is one of those guys that no matter what he does, it will never be enough. one helluva of a ball player, and probably future hall of famer
