Is it too much to hope?

For the record, I am one of God's most pathetic creatures -- a Red Sox fan. We've made a come back in the last few years but not without adding a few gray hairs to my soon-to-be middleaged head.

So needless to say, I was annoyed when Alex Rodriguez, a Yankees player and general schmuck, decided to break the tradition of not releasing any non-World Series baseball news until after the series was concluded. And worse, it was just to say he was opting out of his already obscenely high paying contract with the Yankees.

Scott Miller, a CBSports.com writer, got it right when he called A-Rod a good player but a colossal and utter weasel.

This morning, I see that A-Rod wanted $350 million. And of course, there are rumors that he will go to the Sox and replace Lowell, a great player and all-around good guy.

Is it too much to hope, given that A-Rod has shown himself to be a cheating, weaselly creep time and time again, that no one takes the bait? That he can remain a free agent forever?

Gosh, I hope not.
