California Dreamin'

As the winter marches in like a lion, the suitors for the service of Alex Rodriquez has not. The one formerly known as A-Rod has officially bit the almighty hand that has fed is over paid butt for the past 4 years. Yes folks, this is a direct shot at a man that has officially requested through Scott Boras that he is worth $350 million dollars over 10 years. Well Alex, lets see what that breaks down to over the life of this contract.

First pretty simple $35 million a year, and this is where it gets interesting; $95,890.41 a day or for a complete work week of five days like the average Joe that is $479,452.05 per week. Alex you still wonder why people hate you? Well pretty simple, you are requesting a sum of money that will pay you more money a day than most people in society make in a year. How could anyone expect a man of your regular season stature to take a minuscule pay scale, (that was offered by the Yankees and turned down), and would only pay you $68,493.15 a day?


To quote the great Latrell Sprewell, "How is a man suppose to feed his family." Good luck Alex, maybe if you end up in L.A. people there are more likely to allow you to buy their friendship. I hear Survivor & Surreal Life wannabe's and reality show wash ups are looking for a 4th member in an inspired domino's league on Tuesday nights. Happy Trails.
