Scott Boras started believing his own press. He got the accolades as other agents lived in obscurity. Somehow Boras figured he was special, his voice would and must be heard above all others.
His head busted with all this found wisdom. He had to let it out. Under the name of Alex Rodriguez he pontificated from his office, the street corner, the telephone and a box seat.
He continued to believe he was a sage and that all should hear the rumblings of his gift. He couldn't even hold out until after the Series. He had to be heard. He was bigger than the game - bigger than the World Series.
Along the way, he forgot about his guys. A-rod was turned off and so was Kenny Rogers. They're pushing him aside and ignoring his advice like a typical loud-mouthed, self-important uncle at Thanksgiving.
Other clients are surely tired of the show. God knows, the fans are; however, he has one solace, the media will keep lapping up every one of his words. Whoops, isn't that how it all started?
