Until the guy steps up when it counts, then he will get the credit that he deserves. He has stepped up on a few occasions, however, his recent play in the field has caused fans to boo his performance and deservedly so.
I am a fan of A-Rod and I feel he does say all the right things to the media, but until he starts playing well, then he won't be able to get the Derek Jeter monkey off of his back. Here is hoping that he steps it up in August and September.

I don't need to state my feelings. He is wearing pinstripes, he's my enemy. He may be having a down year for his standards, but even I don't think he deserves what he is getting. Yeah, he needs to earn the paycheck but dude is seriously cracking under the pressure. With his contract, the only way he could ever be moved would be to trade someone with a similar contract.
