Apparently playing for the Yankees really does screw with your mind.

Living in NY screw's with you mind!!
Anyways it doesn't look like its hurtin...he's smashing the ball!
Yeah, he's got the general pressure of being the highest-paid (by far) player in the game, and all the scrutiny and expectations that come along with that. Then, factor in the New York press and fans, which can be brutal in their treatment of players (I'm lookin' at you, Vaz). I'm not at all surprised by this. In fact, I'd be floored if he weren't in therapy.

Don't forget Weaver.
Looks like the shrink is paying off though.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

Yeah....I can only wish I had that kind of pressure. I might have a breakdown not knowing if my next $5,000,000 check was deposited in my account on time. For that kind of money...I think I could deal with the expectations placed upon me. If I don't meet the New York expectations...too fricken bad...just make sure my money is in the account. Arod is no different than 90% of the pro athletes. The money is all that matters.

I disagree entirely. You don't think Alex cares about how he plays? Don't you think he goes through those incredibly intense offseason workouts for a reason? By your logic, since he has his contract, why does he spend any time working on his swing, in the field, getting stronger, etc? You don't think he's out to prove that he's worth all that money? You're such a joke if you believe money is all that matters.
