Red Sox - Trot Nixon Comments
Apparently Red Sox outfielder Trot Nixon called Alex Rodriguez a clown. He also said the following
?But when people ask me about the Yankees, I tell them about [Derek] Jeter and Bernie Williams and [Jorge] Posada. I don't tell them about Rodriguez ... He can't stand up to Jeter in my book, or Bernie Williams or Posada."
Nixon than said that while Rodriguez is an ok player, he is not the Yankee type.
Nixon said he respects the Yankees' Jason Giambi, who is the focus of a controversy surrounding steroid use in baseball.
"I don't feel sorry for Giambi but I do have a great amount of respect for him, for what he's done in this game, the kind of person he is," Nixon said. "He's a superstar and he doesn't act like it.
"A lot of people have lost respect for people like Giambi. I can't judge him for what he did," Nixon added. "I don't even know him that well, but I enjoy talking to him over at first base.
Hey, Trot Nixon, keep your fat mouth shut. No one, especially the Yankees, gives a CRAP what you say. Oh, excuse me. You have praise for Jeter, Williams and Posada. Let me tell you something, you mean as much to them as CSPAN-2 does to me. NOTHING. You don't hold a jock strap compared to them. Your dirt-dirt, slob, tobacco-spitting, unshaven-goat-smelling, surly crap might go over well in Boston where you're a shining light compared to your teammates, but you would be in line behind the bat boy and in front of the hot dog salesman for playing time with the Yanks.
After the Yankees won any of their 4 World Series from 96-2000, or after their two lost bids in 2001 and 2003, did you hear them attacking any Red Sox players. No. It's called winning with class, look it up in your MLB Player's Union assimilation guide.
There is such a thing as winning with class and something tells me the Red Sox don't plan on doing it.
