slothrop Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Nixon Blasts A-Rod As a Mets fan, I despise both teams, but I like the rivalry. The best quote from the article: Yankees position players report Sunday and start workouts Feb. 22. Red Sox pitchers and catchers are due in camp by Thursday with the first full squad workout scheduled for Tuesday. Nixon has been in Fort Myers since last week. He didn't say that A-Rod had criticized his workout regimen. But Nixon did say that Rodriguez boasted about his own regimen. "Like Rodriguez says," Nixon said, "he's running stairs at 6 in the morning while I'm sleeping and taking my kids to school. I'm like, well I'm not a deadbeat dad, Alex." On Nov. 18, Rodriguez's wife gave birth to a daughter. "He's got a kid now, too, so I guess he'll have his limo driver take her to school," Nixon said.

CJPearl2 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I not really sure why the Red Sox are talking all this sh-- about A-Rod. Why would you want the best player (arguably) in the game to get pissed? I can see Shilling talking smack - he earned it. But Trot Nixon? Who the hell is Trot Nixon to talk anything?

CJPearl2 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Ok - but he was hurt most of the year and hit .207 against the Yankees in the AL Championship series. Like I said above, some players have the right to talk smack (like Schilling) - but Nixon needs to shut up and stop being jealous. Nixon wishes he was a quarter of the player A-Rod is.

SilverNRed Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 "He's got a kid now, too, so I guess he'll have his limo driver take her to school," Nixon said. Oh SNAP! Oh no he didn't! Actually, it's pretty rare for a player to bring another player's personal life into the smack talking. I don't like ARod but I think this may have crossed the line a bit.

So we have a red sox fan who thinks he plays left field, and a yankee fan who thinks he is the catcher!!! not sure which is worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac17 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 and here is good old gary talking now: "I said I didn't know I took steroids, the bottom line was I thought it was rubbing cream on my legs. I am not like Jason Giambi sitting here crying and say it's unfair, that the attacks are unfair. I have been attacked my whole career. I have been accused of a lot of things."

Thurmal34 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Nothing better than spending time worrying about what a guy on another team is doing. 241642[/snapback] Or, better yet, nothing like spending your time worrying about what guys on every other team are doing. "I know there are 650 or 700 other players who are sleeping this morning," A-Rod said. "Either that, or they're taking their kids to school. But there's no way they're going to be up running the stairs or doing what I'm doing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 As a Yankee fan, I think Arod is such an ass. I wish we still had Scott Brosius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
