A-Rod* Scandal of the Week - Website Failure
Hey did you know A-Rod* was benched yesterday? You wouldn't if you stopped by AROD.com to find out information on the guy getting $33 million to ride pine. The first thing you see on his website is this news story:
The Yankees have gone 20-8 since Alex Rodriguez's return from hip surgery, and the Bombers now sit in first place thanks in part to ARod's formidable bat in the middle of the order.
They can't be talking about the guy batting .212 could they? When you click on the news section of his site there is nothing about him getting benched, in fact there is nothing about him admitting using steroids. The news does not have anything from December until he begins his rehab in March. I wonder what he was doing during that time? Read more...

Yankee PR Fail
Meet and greets are scheduled to be held once a homestand, an idea that team spokesman Jason Zillo said originated months ago. A-Rod wanted to be a part of it Tuesday, hoping it would help show he's still a mere mortal, even with his larger-than-life persona.
The PR move didn't help him much as A-Rod* went 0-3 last night bringing his average down to .219 and earning him the Bronx cheer from Yankee fans once again.
and get this: A-Rod* is lending his voice to an animated movie for kids. The film is based on a children's book by Ray Negron who said the following about the project:
"We can give the innocence of the game back to the children," Negron said. "Goodbye steroids, hello grassroots."
So they choose A-Rod* to send this message? Nothing says steroid free and grassroots like A-Rod*. Only in the Bronx. Read more...

A-Rod* Scandal of the Week: Too Much Kate
ARod*s new relationship with Kate Hudson is not going over well with his teammates:
“First we dealt with all the Madonna mayhem, now we’re on to Kate. It’s distracting,” says one person connected with the team. “And they haven’t even been together that long....It’s not like there’s a problem with wives or girlfriends going to games,” said the source. “But a lot of us agree that this is a little much. They’re barely dating, and it’s all about Kate.”We'll see if she shows up at Fenway today as Sox fans get their first chance to chant "A-Roids." Read more...

Killing 2 Birds with One Stone
I kept waiting for this video to be funnier but then I realized it was made by a Blue Jays fan. A-Rod is the target but I think Jays fans come out looking like bigger losers in this one:

A-Rod* - Doing God's Work
Please stop asking A-Rod* any questions about roids or man-boobs, he is doing God's work. When confronted with the allegations of steroid use in high school he responded with:
"I've worked extremely hard and I'm very anxious to do what God put me on this Earth to do and that's play baseball."Read more...
A-Rod* Scandal of the Week- Pitch Tipping with Man-Boobs
The A-Rod* scandals are so voluminous that they now fill a book. The reporter that broke the steroids story is coming out with a book that is sure to be a best seller among Red Sox Nation. In the book, Selena Roberts says A-Rod* starting taking roids in high school and grew man-boobs. It also accused him of helping others cheat:
In one shocking disclosure, the book accuses A-Rod of "pitch tipping" when he was with the Rangers - letting a friendly opponent at the plate know which pitch was coming in lopsided games.

Hole in One
I spotted this truck in San Francisco last week after leaving the SOX @ OAK game. The photo was included in my post about that game, but I'm liking it so much, I decided to give it it's own post.
A-Rod diversifies his portfolio?

A Day at the Park
I got to see my beloved Red Sox yesterday for the first time this season. Things as they are, I don't get to nearly as many games a year as I would like to. One time I got a late start and then the local rapid transit broke down for 45 minutes. By the time I got to Oakland Stadium, the Sox were on the short end of a lop-sided score. I was walking along the concourse and was wondering why people were leaving so soon. I wasn't that late.
Well, things were different this time. This was the first game I had ever been to when my favorite Sox pitcher was on the mound. It was a beautiful, sunny day. I got there early with my friend and bandmate Tom. (It was his birthday.) We soaked up the sun while waiting for Nick to show up with our tix.
Nick's new shirt
Never did I imagine I would be watching history nearly being made that day! Wake just kept serving up goose-egg after goose-egg after goose-egg! I missed Lowell's E, but thought to myself, "Well, he still has a no...STOP! Don't even think it!" Whew! That was a close one! I found myself wondering if he had issued any free passes. Um...nope. "Don't even think about it, Dave!" Said nothing, thought nothing. The 000's kept racking up. Then that hit came! SOAB!
#42 takes a mighty swing!
Well.... Wake was still spinning a gem, and on Jackie Robinson day, too. Unfortunately, when the Sox bats come alive while Wake is pitching, he has to sit, and that is not good for a knuckleballer, thus the H's, BB's, and R's in the final innings. Still a fantastic, memorable game. Let's hope that momentum continues tomorrow.
Wake showed the utmost in class during the post game interview when asked about his performance. Instead of talking about his masterpiece, he immediately shifted the focus onto Robinson before he said anything about the game.
Somehow, we were able to find a few minutes to drill a few shots of the Sawxheads that were in attendance in Section 209 yesterday. Nick, aka CaliGrown was there, as well as the Emperor of RSN-CA who was there raising awareness for The Jimmy Fund, (as does Rocky Rhodes on his X-C trip in the Rolling Green Monster), and also a few other Sawxhead friends of Nick's whose names escape me at the moment. Fenway West was in the house on his spring tour (4 games and a Dead show in 4 days), but alas, he was on the other side of the stadium.

Sunshine, beer, $1 dogs, peanuts, friends, and Wake nearly tossing a no-no! What more could a Sox fan ask for?!What more, you say? Well, we left Oakland heading for San Francisco, when I spotted a commercial truck with an interesting company name. I wondered, "Does A-Rod have a new side business?"

A-Rod* Scandal of the Week- Hygiene Failure
Alex Rodriquez soaked up the love in Aspen this weekend, but he didn't exactly give it back. The Yankees slugger was partying at the Caribou Club, enjoying the attention of "several cougars," a source said, when he went to the bathroom. A male source added, "When he was done, he walked out of his stall, went up to the sink, primped himself in the mirror and walked out -- without washing his hands. Nasty." A-Rod then went back to the adoration of the ladies, but left by himself. His rep declined to comment.
Check back next week for the continuation of this ongoing series. Read more...

A-Rod* Scandal of the Week- Hookers
The American public is getting scandal fatigue and not from AIG but from A-Rod*. We have seen cheating on his wife with Madonna, steroids, parking lot incidents, fainting in the delivery room, and now we have a new one:
A former Manhattan madam who supplied Eliot Spitzer with hookers also counted Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez as a customer - and found him so charming she dated him herself for free, former employees of the call-girl agency tell the Daily News.Read more...

Jimmy Fallon As A-Rod*
A picture is worth a thousand words:
I was talking to a Yankee fan friend of mine the other day and he was saying how sick he was of A-Rod* and as soon as one issue goes away another arises. It is almost too easy to make fun of him anymore.
