I seriously just wish the media would stop talking about it, since it's been dominating the newswaves. I mean, c'mon. Even A-Rod's ego isn't so fragile that if Jeter looks the wrong way, he's going to miss hitting a HR. Seriously. This has been blown out of proportion.

While I think A-Rod definitely has had serious issues adjusting to New York, I think this should be the year he "gets over" it, whether or not his contract status is the cause. Some players never do - Randy Johnson comes to mind - but A-Rod is too good of a player to keep on going like this. In fact, I wish he'd turn some of this negative into a fuel, make it really work in his favor.
