So the NYY are talking about docking A-Rod (aka A-Hole) a day's pay for taking a game off to seek a second medical opinion. That's $150,000... for ONE STINKING GAME of perhaps 3 hours.
I love sports as much as the next person but the monies paid not only to players but owners is obscene. Yet it seems to be one topic on DU that's taboo. Anyone care to play ball?
