No, I’m not talking about Hillary Clinton – there’s plenty of time and opportunity for that down the line. I’m talking about Alex “A-Fraud” Rodriguez’s agent Scott Boras releasing an announcement during the 7th inning of a World Series game that his client had decided to exercise his option and opt out of his contract with the New York Yankees. And lest you think this was all Scott Boras’ timing, just check this out (my boldings):

“I got a call from Alex tonight and he is going to opt out,” Boras told The Post last night during Game 4 of the World Series. “He was just too unsure with new ownership talking about a transition where the organization is going right now. He is not sure what is going to happen with (free agents) Mariano (Rivera) and (Jorge) Posada, and if Andy Pettitte is coming back. He needs more time to assess where the Yankees are going in the future.”

This is absolutely pathetic, and I pray the baseball world is watching. I hate A-Rod (sports-wise, I’ve never met him as a person and have no desire to) with a passion as much as the next guy, but even I didn’t think his stupid boorish agent would have the onions to announce this during the World Series. Tradition states that when the World Series is taking place, baseball tradition trumps any any one player’s future, and for someone as supposedly sage and keen as Scott Boras to announce such a thing right in the middle of a World Series broadcast shows not only his arrogance and his snake-in-the-grass lowness, but that of his petty, pathetic, whiny, overpaid, and post-season choker client as well.

Note to Scott Boras: if Red Sox ownership and management were ever to be stupid enough to cave in to your immense greed and bring A-Rod aboard as a Red Sox, mark these words carefully: I will NEVER watch them on TV again, and would, in fact, root against them every chance I got. A-Rod is the epitome of everything that is wrong with professional sports nowadays, and I for one refuse to have anything to do with him. And I know I’m not alone in Red Sox Nation who feels that way.

When it comes to money and sports, people like A-Rod and Scott Boras are not just bad, they are evil.
