Whatever Alex Rodriguez said sure pissed off some Blue Jays.
However, it helped his New York Yankees snap a five-game losing streak.
In a filthier-than-a-stripper-move, A-Rod distracted Toronto third baseman Howie Clark by shouting at him on a key popup in the ninth inning, sparking arguments all over the place as the Yanks beat the Blue Jays 10-5 last night.
A-Rod claims he only said, "HAH!" He added, "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."How mature.
When asked what his intentions were, he said he didn't know. It's not like he yelled, 'I got it!' or anything. However, Clark claims A-Rod did call for the ball.
"I heard a 'Mine' call and so I let it go," Clark said. "What do you do? It makes you mad."Was this foul play on Rodriguez's part? Or was he simply trying to give his team a much-needed edge, since they can't seem to win by actually playing the game?

IF you watch the video I have up, it clearly looks like he said mine and not Hah!
What a LIAR!
Big surprise. It's not like he's ever been busted doing anything dishonest in the past... two days or anything.
Maybe instead of "mine" he said "HEINIE!" because there was a hot chick in the stands? And maybe, just maybe, Clark had to check it out, thus missing the pop-up, and doesn't want to get busted being a perv as well? No?
Just another possible scenario...
Although, if he's dumb enough to fall for it (A-Rod yelling "mine!" , he should only be mad at himself for being so stupid.
A-Rah. You stoopi mudda.
A-Rod, ugh.
At least we know now he's a phony. He's heading towards Kobe territory...
He did it, the tabloids have more fodder, life goes on. People tend to jump to the wrong conclusions about poor Alex. When I saw the piture of the blonde on the cover of the Post just assumed it was new director of performance enhancement.
what do you mean the past two days. from the new article today in the NY Post, it looks like this has been going on quite a long while now.
If a player on your team did it, you'd think it was hilarious. Trust me. I couldn't stop laughing.
Had, say, Jason Varitek done that to the Yankees, I would have been pissed. But that's just the nature of fandom.
Exactly, Joe. It's one of the things that makes the game so great.
