Even A-Rod's Wife Questions Her Husband's Masculinity


It's tough for most of us to watch those "Miracle of Life" shows where they give you the full access to what it's really like to watch someone have a baby. After viewing it, you soon realize that even the most gruesome horror movies showing a screeching alien ejecting itself out of a person's stomach are, in fact, less gory than an actual child birth. Alex Rodriguez knows this. And according to Yankees blogger and beat writer Peter Abraham, Alex Rodriguez fears this. And thanks to this transcript from tomorrow night's "YESterdays" show on the YES network featuring A-Rod, we find out that, according to Cynthia Rodriguez, the Yankees third baseman acts just like many people would probably suspect. Let the emasculation party begin: More »

Hurry, Before Alex Rodriguez Steals This Job

On Friday, Gawker received an email from the editor of femalemuscle.com, who is on the look out for a full-time blogger to take make "femalemuscle.com into the Gawker of her genre." Well, knowing that there are a few of you out there who are sports blog hobbyists looking to go pro, it only seemed natural that we pass it along. You can get the details over here. More »

Terror From The Sky At Fenway Park

It may seem as if I'm writing this post under the influence of peyote, and believe me, I'm not above trying that. But in this case I'm sober and it's all true: A girl who was part of a school group touring Fenway Park on Thursday was attacked by a red-tailed hawk, who delivered a decisive hawk beat-down on the youngster before returning to its nest in the upper deck. And what was the victim's name? (Drumroll) ... Alexa Rodriguez. More »

So, Does Anybody REALLY Care About Jose Canseco And Alex Rodriguez?

So something interesting happened yesterday, in the wake of all those Canseco stories. The "mainstream" sports world went nuts — poor Joe Lavin, the guy who bought the book, found his name on the freaking ESPN crawl — but you guys, the actual sports fans out there, responded with shoulder shrugs and collective yawns. We found this telling. More »

The Excerpts From "Vindicated" About Alex Rodriguez (UPDATE: Now Redacted!)


Ever since Joe Lavin announced he'd bought a copy of Jose Canseco's Vindicated earlier today, people — OK, some people — have been curious what EXACTLY Canseco said. After the jump, the selections from Vindicated concerning Alex Rodriguez. More »

A-Rod Talks Wistfully Of The Mets (Really)

The timing could have been better for Alex Rodriguez, who sat down for a soul-searching interview with the New York Daily News on the same day that Jose Canseco was touting a new book, claiming that A-Rod took steroids. That publicity could have been used for damage control! At any rate, A-Rod tells columnist John Harper that he wishes he would have signed with the Mets instead of the Rangers, and that his opt out/opt-back-in drama with the Yankees was due in part to his daughter's fondness for her toys.

A-Rod Comments On Canseco's Book "Revelation"

Well, that didn't take long: Just five hours after our post on writer Joe Lavin's early purchase of Jose Canseco's new book, which, according to Lavin, claims that Canseco introduced A-Rod to a steroid supplier, A-Rod has responded with characteristic stoicism. More »

Source: Canseco Accuses A-Rod Of Steroid Abuse, Wife Coveting, In New Book

In the next week, you're going to see more of Jose Canseco that you likely have much desire to see. But Canseco has a new book coming out April 1, Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and the Battle to Save Baseball, coming out just in time for opening day and promising to, once again, blow the lid off the steroid menace. Once again, he's naming names, and, according to a man named Joe Lavin, who bought a copy accidentally put on sale early at a Boston bookstore, those names are Roger Clemens, Magglio Ordonez and Alex Rodriguez.

A-Rod Is Not A Pleasant Landlord

When people defend Alex Rodriguez — because, you know, in a few circles, he's somewhat unpopular — they often point to the amount of charity work he does. But there might be less to that charity business that meets the proverbial eye. And he's not much of a landlord. More »

Rich People Helping Rich People

That's Just Naaasty

Yep, you can really buy Alex Rodriguez's nut huggers on eBay. Maybe Bobby Bowden was right about this whole operation.
AROD wore these undershorts in official MLB games during the 2005 season, and they definitely look used and smell like it too!!
These undershorts are referred to as Sliding Shorts by Arod, but they look like Nike dryfit boxer briefs to me. Arod's worn underwear!!
They have all the proper tagging on the inside and also have the Elite hologram near the inside of the waistband.
Incredible find as Arod game used equipment is incredibly tough to get ahold of, let alone a pair of his worn undershorts.
Arod also signed the shorts perfectly on the front in bold blue sharpie, and added the inscription 2005 Game Used under his signature.

After All That, Some Disappointing A-Rod Normalcy

Say what you will about Barry Bonds, but we certainly owe him one favor: For 20 hours or so, he made everybody stop talking about Alex Rodriguez. We are sure Scott Boras is appreciative. More »

A-Rod Wants Enough Money To Feed Sprewell's Family


Earlier this morning, an observant commenter whose name I can't recall — and sorry, there's no way in hell I'm going back to reread my balderdash — mentioned how refreshing it was that this weekend's Deadspin was basically A-Rod and Kobe free. Woops!
