Arod Hasta la Vista

[Robrock30]

Alex Rodriguez is serving as the designated hitter and batting third in his final game as a Yankee on Friday vs. Chris Archer & the Rays.

Joe Girardi won't let him play 3B.

[Robrock30]

I remember him when he first arrived with the Mariners and my first impression I was so impressed back in 1996.

[zenmaster]

Lol I love how they describe the convo about playing 3b.

Arod: Hey Joe, it's my last game as a Yankee ever and I'd like to end it on the field, playing 3b.

Joe: No

Yankees suck. 

[Robrock30]

It's been like that all week.  Yankees not showing Arod the love. It's not like Jeter or Mariano for sure.

[meat]

Girardi's one of my new favorite people.

[eligrba]

What's his face will be missed....

[Angel Oracle]

Cue Madonna.

[Jobu]

No thanks.

When you leave the clubhouse for the last time, don't forget to take all that baggage with you.

Girardi is a dickhole. Yes, ARod did steroids, but so did a whole lot of players during that time. It's not an excuse, but it is what it is, a fact. For as much as ARod did for New York, it would have been a small gesture to let him play 3rd base. Dick move.

[TooCool]

See ya ARoid.

Oh yeah, Yankees skus.

He won WS in 2009 who can forget the HR to tie Game 2 of ALCS at YS off of Fuentes in bottom of 11th.  I can still picture Fuentes with 0 - 2 count throw him same pitch which just cleared the RF short porch after Oliver was excellent.  I also remember Vlad leaving an army on base.  Arod was with Kate Hudson at the time who gave him good luck which Madonna nor Cameron Diaz never did.

I'm sure the Yankees are tired of the circus and tickled pink to see him gone.

National TV coverage wtf

[AngelsLakersFan]

Lets go Arod! Fuck you guys.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Way to go out with an RBI and a win.  JOe probably puts him at 3B to end the game. 

[CaliAngel]

Screw A Rod and screw the stankees organization, but I'm sorry, that's a dick move not to let him play third base for his last game.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

He'll go in.  Crowd is chanting for it.
