Yeah, I saw the Bash Brothers demolish the Giants in the Bay Area Series, my sister used to work for radio station KSFO, and she could hook me up with A's tickets (great seats too), and many other events, but did not go to Candlestick, for KSFO was the A's station, not the Giants, I was glad for that anyway, as the big earthquake hit, man, glad I was home watching the game, lol.

I use to be an A's fan as a kid when there was no Marlins...I was the biggest Canseco and McGwire fan..The bash brothers that must've been fun to watch at the time

From the Associated Press:

Yankees skipper Joe Girardi announced today that highly-paid third baseman Alex Rodriguez would not start Game 5 of the ALDS, setting off a string of events that suggests he may be the world's wisest person.

After Girardi's informed Rodriguez of his decision this afternoon, telling the former slugger he "can't be counted on" and that he is "washed up" and "was probably only ever good due to the massive amounts of steroids" he took.

Enraged by his manager's treatment, Rodriguez flew into a rage, shouting back at Girardi, turning over tables and knocking a jug of water over.

"Oh, wow. Good for you. You made contact with something," said Girardi. "I didn't think I'd ever see that again."

With that barb, witnesses say, Rodriguez got in his manager's face and screamed "I QUIT! You hear me? I'M DONE! I'm never playing for the Yankees AGAIN!"

Girardi then turned to an assistant holding a camera and said: "You got that? Got it all on tape?" The assistant nodded. "Great."

"Alex," Girardi said, turning back to his now former third baseman. "By quitting you have violated your contract. We no longer owe you $114 million over the next five years. Thank god. I win. You lose. Clean out your locker. You are no longer part of this organization."

A thoroughly defeated Rodriguez then collapsed in front of his locker, sobbing, as cheers went up throughout the locker room.

I hate AROD I hope My Yanks Just eat the contract and Get rid of his Monkey Choking azz chump!!!

Good run, A's...I'm proud of you...you gutsy little team.

I was bummed that the A's didn't make it.....I thought they had a lot of Heart.......if my Yanks don't make it.....I'll root for the National league team that makes the WS.

1st time all 4 DLS have gone 5 games. The A's got rocked tonight, the Reds did exactly what I expected. (Dusty Baker putting on that hit and run in the 6th to avoid the DP and running right into the DP is exactly why I don't like him as a manager) the Nats showed some magic and the best series of them all is starting at 5:00!? tomorrow afternoon. Everyones getting on A-Rod but my god Swisher, Granderson, even Cano look lost at the plate. It's easy to pile on A-Rod but outside of Jeter, they're going up to the plate with wet rolled up newspapers.
