Do you think that Alex Rodriguez is a jinx. I mean when he started out, he was with the Mariners who had great players like Edgar Martinez, Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson, he was with the rangers that had stars like Pudge, Juan Gonzalez, Rafael palmeiro, Wettland, and now he is with the Yankees and that all star team and yet, he can't win a world series title. I say he is a jinx.

a-rod is a great player and its not jinx you might not have the best year before. but moving to diffrent teams. it takes awhile to get your groove going and find a spot for you.

now if he was a ss would it be diffrent totally possible.

Well it always helps to have good players around you but IMO that is less so in baseball.  When you're at the plate you're alone, and when that ball is hit in your direction it is all up to you.  He's a great player.

Any team would take him in a second (if they could afford him). There is no such thing as a Jynx.

No jinx, but a mentally weak player.  He has all the talent in the world, but it doesn't matter b/c he's a head case.  I love to see him and the Yanks fail.

Uhhh, okay.  I will.  Thanks for the permission.  It's really easy to hate on the Yanks, though.  My main reason is because so many people are on their bandwagon.  I hate to see a team with such a deep following of bandwagoners that have no connection with the team.  Their spending also makes it very easy to hate them.  So many reasons...
