A-Rod Let Check Book Do The Talking In Recent Brawl

The Yankees and Devil Rays brawl involved a lot of small name players.  But one big-name player has a connection to the Devil Rays too, Alex Rodriguez.  He makes 3 million more dollars by himself than the whole Tampa Bay roster combined.  It surprises me that there was a fight to start with.  I expected A-Rod to write a few checks and keep the Rays players happy.  I mean, he makes 27 million a year.  A couple thousand bucks to every player would surely have shut them up.  Its the least he could have done.  The Yankees players are almost all 35 years old and the Rays are 22.  It wasnt a fair fight to start with.  The Yanks used their one young player, Shelley Duncan, to try and compete.....but Jonny Gomes decided to take matters into his own hands.  He really had nothing to lose though.  He is making 400,000 a year and is on a team that will be lucky to win 50 games.  Oh well, that was the one win the Rays will have against the Bronx Bombers all year.  They should enjoy it and maybe throw a few verbal threats in the Yankees way come regular season.  You never know, A-Rod might open up the check book just to keep a little peace. That sounds like something he would do, right....right? ;)
