The New York Post welcomed home the Yankees with a cover criticizing third baseman Alex Rodriguez featuring the title “SAME OLD A-ROD” in bold print.
Rodriguez made the final out of Monday’s ALDS game two, striking out against Orioles closer Jim Johnson. “O’s get even as Alex whiffs to end it” the cover reads.
Ouch.
No hometown love for the $275 million man.
The Yankees only have themselves to blame for re-upping this guy a few years back. Maybe the Dodgers will take him off their hands. They seem to be in the market for over paid, underwhelming guys and helping bail out AL East teams making poor money/personnel decisions.
