Why is everyone so shocked A-Rod is staying in pinstripes?

Not necessarily this site, I mean the mass media. Do they not see the obvious? The Yankees are the only organization in the MLB that can afford A-Rod. There were rumors of A-Rod going to the Angels, and heck even back to the Mariners. Are you kidding? A-Rod makes more than the entire payroll of both those teams.

Heck even the Red Sox cant afford him with the Ramirez contract and sure to be massive Ortiz contract coming in a couple of seasons. (IM SO HAPPY). Besides the Sox chose the right guy, the guy who won us a championship, Mike Lowell.

Personally I am glad A-Rod is staying a Yankee, it only means the Red Sox will keep winning World Series championships as long as Mr. Choketober stays in NY.

i'm not. it's the only place stupid enough to pay him that amount of money. he's a real good player don't get me wrong but he's done nothing for the Yankees except pad his own stats.

baseball and their ridiculous salaries man.

Sport stars and their ridiculous salaries man. I can throw a football....maybe not as far as Drew Brees, or hell, even Ryan Leaf. But heck, I'll settle to be third stringer. They make more than a Wal-Mart salary anyday :)
