We’ve had concerns about A-Rod’s manliness (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but his wife gives us yet another reason to wonder.
Cynthia Rodriguez recently admitted, “As tough and big as he seems, he is real wimpy around doctors or any type of medical situation.” Why would she make such embarrassing accusations?
Could be because her hubby passed out during the birth of their first daughter. Read more…
“Consider the source, that’s No. 1,” Steinbrenner said of Canseco. “He wouldn’t have been able to hit the ball out of the infield without steroids.

Anything Derek Jeter can do, Alex Rodriguez can do with less flair and an incredibly clumsy style. Yesterday, we noted Jeter’s full-throated feature in MEN’S HEALTH. Today, we receive word of Rodriguez’s MEN’S VOGUE April cover story, complete with a recommended daily workout like in Jeter’s piece.
(Give me my pride back, dammit! Drop it!)
Is it the same fluff piece as Jeter received? Glowing, unquestioning fealty from the periodical press? No, not unless being called “radioactive” constitutes a positive. 235U-Rod?
