Jason is absolutely right. A-Rod is a great talent. A great talent who has been given an incredibly hard time by NY fans (right or wrong...that's the case).
Jason's post kinda proves my earlier point. Yankee fans are going to be desperate to see if he maintains his pace into this weekend's Sox/Yankees series. If not, he's a bum again. If he does, he stays a hero...until the next important series comes up. And that's the key. One friend of mine who's a Yankee fan told me today that the fans won't really accept him until he helps them win the World Series. That's probably true (right or wrong).
