BOSTON -- Alex Rodriguez thought his final week as a member of the?New York Yankees was going to be on the field, not the bench.Yankees manager Joe Girardi decided otherwise, prioritizing winning over sentimentality.Girardi said Rodriguez will not start Tuesday and Wednesday, but would be in the lineup Thursday against knuckleballer Steven Wright. A-Rod also will start Friday, his final game with the team.Im disappointed, Rodriguez said Tuesday at Fenway Park. When I heard him say I can actually play in all four games, I was really excited to get some at-bats. I dont know what happened.On Sunday, after the Yankees announced the plan for A-Rod to be released Friday and then take a job as a special adviser, Girardi said he would let A-Rod dictate his playing time for his final week in pinstripes.If he wants to play in every game, Ill find a way, Girardi said. ?Girardi said his comments Sunday were made when he got caught up in the moment, so he is choosing the Yankees pursuit of the wild card over A-Rods farewell.Im an emotional guy, Girardi said. My heart can get tugged at. I think I got caught up in the emotions. Im human. There is a human element to me. There is a human element to Alex. Im not saying he wont play these next two days and that he wont be in there. Im managing to try to win the games. Thats what I have to do. This is a very important series for us. This is one of the teams that we are chasing.A-Rod never made it into Tuesdays game, a 5-3 Yankees loss. Fans at Fenway chanted We Want A-Rod late in the game, hoping hed get in the game.?Rodriguez said he came to the park excited Tuesday, hoping to play in all three games at Fenway. The Yankees started Tuesday 4? games back in the wild card with 51 games remaining.Girardi started Brian McCann at designated hitter against right-hander Rick Porcello. Rodriguez is hitting .204 with nine homers and 29 RBIs in 62 games.We started to give the at-bats to other people because of what we saw, Girardi said. Thats hard for me to say, because I believed in Alex. He was a guy that was always so productive for us. I dont know. I dont know if there would be a right situation out there for him. He is going to be 42, and he doesnt really play a position.Rodriguez, who just turned 41, would not totally close the door on Friday being his final game.I dont know that answer right now, Rodriguez said. Im content with how this week has gone down.For now, A-Rod is still a Yankee and stuck on the bench.Said Girardi: My responsibility as the manager -- and we are still in this -- is to win games.

Khalil Mack Bears Jersey Cheap . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. PITTSBURGH --?Steelers?offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert said he doesnt understand reigning MVP Cam Newtons complaints about cheap shots when the?Carolina Panthers?quarterback delivers his own hits to opposing defenders.After absorbing a low hit from defensive tackle Calais Campbell in the Panthers 30-20 victory Sunday over the Arizona Cardinals, Newton said he doesnt feel safe at times and planned to file a grievance over late hits to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell because enough is enough.Gilbert protects Pittsburgh quarterback?Ben Roethlisberger, who is 6-foot-5, like Newton, and has been sacked 450 times in 12-plus seasons.Ben gets hit more than anybody in the league, and he never complains. Cmon, man. This is the game of football, Gilbert said. If youre out there and youre scared to take a shot, then dont be out there, especially if youre a running quarterback. [Defenses] are going to take shots at you. Just the way, his style of playing football, how he celebrates, I guess he gives the guys a chip, like lets go hit the reigning NFL MVP.Gilbert, a six-year NFL veteran who played briefly with Newton at the University of Florida, stressed that Newton is a great player and that he doesnt believe players are trying to intentionally hurt him.But defenders might be trying to affect Newton mentally with physical play as a response to what Newton does during and after successful runs, Gilbert said.When hes running over people, hes going to stand right up and hes going to celebrate, Gilbert said. This is the game of football. Im sure there are cornerbacks or linebackers, whoever hes running over, the safeties, they arent complaining about getting run over or getting crowned, facemask to facemask with the quarrterback from a guy his size.ddddddddddddOf course, guys are going to take shots ... I dont think anybody is trying to purposefully hurt him, but youre going to get those extra hits, especially against such a great player.Newtons playing style came into focus after the quarterback missed Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because of a concussion. Newton also took several physical hits from the Denver Broncos in Week 1 that did not elicit penalties.For his career, Newton has 637 rushes for 3,398 yards and 46 scores.If you dont like it, then tell the coach or the coordinator to change the whole game plan, Gilbert said. Try to do something to protect you, because back a couple of years ago, when Ben was getting hit a lot, we had to change our offense a little bit, put in a little extra protection to help him stay upright because he is the franchise player.Since 2014, Roethlisberger has averaged less than two sacks per game as part of a quick-strike passing game.That being said, many of the worst hits on Newton have occurred in the pocket.From Newton to Roethlisberger to the Patriots?Tom Brady, the games best quarterbacks will always be a target for eager defensive players, Gilbert said.Im sure all the other 53 guys on that team are hurting just as bad and pretty much take a lot of shots, too, Gilbert said. Look at the running backs, look at the receivers going across the middle, the linemen, you get rolled up on all the time. Its just a football game, bro. Youve got to embrace it, youve got to accept the challenge thats ahead of you, you have to go out there and play ball. ' ' '
