yes, he took a slight pay cut from 25 million a year to come to the yankees from the texas rangers. I think he's getting 22 a year now.

cuz the catcher is the most underappreciated player on the baseball field so no one cares what happens to him.
And they're also wearing some very expensive protection

Yes it should be. What if he dislocated/jammed/hurt something on Arroyo's hand, therefore causing him not to pitch? Assault is assault, any way you cut it. If I'm on first, can I clothesline the 2nd baseman if the ball is hit to him? There's a difference when you deliberately hit someone.
Well when you think about it, when a runner sweep slides into second forcing the ss or 2nd basemen to either move, or jump over, that's more of a strategic play, and doesn't involve the actual action of interfering with the ball. Knocking someones hand with the ball in it is interference in every sense. Just my two cents.
the reason you can do it at home plate I believe is usually the catcher is wearing a lot more equipment then any other player on the field...

No Lifer
he hit him so hard he knocked the glove off his hand, it was blantly intentional there shoudl be some action taken against him
rofl, this wasn't an assault. He didn't punch the guy or try to run him over on his way there. He swatted at his glove/arm, don't make it more then it is.

No, there's a right way to play the game and a wrong way. Hitting players intentionally to knock the ball out is not the right way to play the game, you TAKE IT LIKE A MAN AND GO TO THE BENCH. Just like if you get hit by the pitcher, you TAKE FIRST w/out yelling m.fcker to the pitcher, it's the right way to play the game.
we all know the Yanks will take this game in the bottom of the ninth to crush the bitter hopes of the red sox faithful.
God, yanks r nuts!You realise that the 4th highest payroll in the leagie is HALF OF YANKS PAYROLL??
totally dumb lol
I wish the fans would stop throwing stuff. That's no good. :thumbsdown:
I hope they show Arod's swat again when we have a minute.
Good times, good times.

Good times, good times.i'm not a yankees fan, but lets not kid ourselves. The announcers even showed a flashback to a previous game at Fenway where Red Sox faithful did the same exact thing. Fans throwing stuff on the field isn't unprecendented, nor does it happen much more frequently in new york then in other cities.
Correction: AROD earns an average of 25.2 million/year through the entire length of his contract.
Heh SpeedDemon is getting a little excited .
I'll pitch in for an oxygen tank if they get to the world series.
