Bowa and Borzello Missed By A-Rod
Via George King -
Alex Rodriguez is going to hang on to more of that $275 million this year than he did last season.
Whenever Rodriguez said something to the media that Larry Bowa and Mike Borzello deemed stupid, they fined Rodriguez $500.
"He agreed with us,'' said Bowa, who for two years was part of Rodriguez's daily routine that also included Borzello, the bullpen catcher who joined Bowa on Joe Torre's Dodgers staff as a catching instructor. "He knew he said stupid stuff.'
While Rodriguez works with new third base coach Bobby Meachem and bench coach Rob Thomson and is in his second year with hitting coach Kevin Long, he admits to missing Bowa and Borzello.
"That's because they were always ragging on me,'' Rodriguez said. "I love those guys.''
Two months ago, I got on George King for making "the Borzello story" into an "A-Rod story." Now, already, A-Rod admits to missing Borzello. Looks like I was wrong. Sorry George.
