Always an accurate barometer of world events, The Onion comes through once again, with a sarcastic take on Alex Rodriguez showing up the World Series (which the Red Sox were about 6 outs away from sweeping) by having his agent, the equally odious Scott Boras, announce that A-Rod was opting out of the final 3 years of his contract with the Yankees to become a free agent.
A-Rod's bad timing.
A-Rod's bad timing.

This article is sarcastic, but there is a lot of truth to it, too. It highlights some of the excruciating b.s. the Red Sox would have to deal with if he signed with the club, because it truly is all about A-Rod.

The Boston clubhouse is routinely and roundly described as a positive, team-centered group. Gone, for now, are the bad old days of the "25 players, 25 cabs" teams of the 1940s and even the 1980s. A-Rod has allegedly put a spot of poison into the proverbial team-centered clubhouse drinks of the Mariners, Rangers, and now the Yankees.

I refer to Curt Schilling, who, in talking about Roger Clemens signing with the Yankees instead of the Red Sox this past May, "We don't need him. It would've been nice to have him, but we don't need him."
