Yankee Fans Refuse To Stop Booing Arod

NY, NY - Yankee's SS Alex Rodriguez, after starting the first 6 games of the 2007 MLB season with 6 HRs showed just why he's so deserving of drawing nightly boos from the NY crowd. In last night's 5-1 loss to the Twins, Rodriguez went 1 for 3, with 1 RBI on a sac fly. After the game, he was asked to identify why he's struggling to stay consistent so far this season. "Well, Derek and I used to be real close, we used to have sleepovers, like, 8 times a week. Now, he only invites me over, two, maybe three times a week." Arod stopped for a moment to collect himself, wiping a tear from his eye, but pretending there was something in it by continuing to rub throughout the rest of his statement. "It hurts my feelings...I think that's affected my confidence some. Also, I'm used to being in hostile territory at home, so I've come to count on the boos. It's a timing thing. The fans in this ballpark have been real nice to me...too nice. It's unnerving." Johnny Damon then walked past Arod, suddenly screaming straight into his ear "Aiiiiiiaiiiiaiiiiiaiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!" while jerking his head like a chicken, then continued on as if nothing happened. Arod looked at the reporter and said, laughing, "That's Johnny, he's so crazy, L - O -L. I don't understand half of what he says, but he gets me in stiches every time he jokes."

Back in NYC, a group of Yankee fans were stopped on their way to boo at a Mets game. They were asked why Arod's HRs this year just don't cut it. "Well, we're paying the guy 50 gazillion dollars a year--" The reporter cut in, "Actually, it's 25 million a year." The inebriated fan ripped the mike out of the reporter's hand, threw it to the ground and yelled, slurring his words, "Don't matter, 5 trillion or 250 million a year, we're payin' him a buttload a cash, he needs to hit at least one HR a game...maybe even 3!" The rest of the fan's entourage then proceeded to boo the reporter through his next question. "What will it take for you to stop booing Arod and get behind him?" "Simple," replied one fan toward the back, donning a sand suede Yankees cap. "Average at least 2 HRs a game this season, and win a few championships. Not just for the Yankees, but the Knicks and the Giants too." When asked whether they'd be happy with just one for the Yankees, they all booed louder. Then someone said, "Us Yankees have won, like, 37 championships in the past 25 years. It's time to start winning a bunch more..." passing out on the street while finishing her sentence. Another fan tried to add a comment but instead threw up on the reporter's shoes, ending the interview.
