Why are the Yankees so pissed at ARod for his tweet?

Could it be that they have no intentions of clearing him to be ready to play so they can void his contract? Some fishy stuff going on in NY right now.

Because they're total dicks?

and Steinbrenner Jr. aint his daddy. i'd guess it's a combination of what you said, they want to void his contract if this whole new PED scandal blows up (someone said it could be 100 players) and the fact that it contradicted what Cashman said the other day, so he felt stupid. Arod has done plenty to hate, but being happy for having a doctor tell you that you're healthy enough to play is not one of them.

The Yankees want their team doctor clearing him first

Before he publicly states he can play again

I think they don't want their doctor to clear him

but regardless, there's no need for the GM to tell him to "Shut the 17 up". He could just say "that's good progress, but he hasn't been cleared by team doctors"

And I'm sure any other player involved and that is what you hear

I feel sure Cashman has had more than enough of Arod's nonsense to last him a lifetime

Alright so everyone knows he's still not officially cleared to play but it's still good news to him and he's genuinely happy to share the positive news with his friends and fans. Pretty rough reaction to a player that's recovering from hip surgery. No way they have this same reaction if Jeter or Rivera tweet it. I just find it odd that ARod can do no right and Jeter and Rivera can do no wrong.

If jeter and Rivera were constantly in the news for one thing or another

And always involved in steroid talk they would be getting the same treatment

When's the last time Jeter or Mo asked a clubhouse guy to go in the stands and get a chick's number during a playoff game?

Hahaha that's pretty hilarious actually. Was that after Girardi benched ARod? Sounds like ARod's way of getting back at them.
