The dam is starting to crack
With Alex Rodriguez only a few weeks away from returning to the Yankees, more allegations are beginning to come out about him. In her new book, which is set to be released in May, Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts alleges that the third basemen did not stop using steroids when he came to the Yankees and he might have been using as far back as high school, the Daily News reports. Among the other details in the book include:
Yankees teammates nicknamed Rodriguez "B--CH T--S" ("Man boobs" for the layperson) in 2005 because he put on 15 pounds in the offseason which resulted in womanly pectorals, a condition called gynecomastia.
Rodriguez tipped pitches to opponents during blowouts when he was playing for Texas. He hoped players would recriprocate when he was having an off night and needed to get his average up.
He had a poker habit, which was detailed in his divorce proceedings. Also included was his affair with Madonna and others.
Rodriguez was hated at Hooters, where he routinely tipped the minimum 15 percent.
If anyone is suprised by any of this, please raise your right hand. Nobody? I thought so. I mean honestly, at this point, there are only a handful of things that could come out about Alex Rodriguez that would be a shocker. 1. If he killed someone. 2. If he got a sex change (Well, now that I think about it.). 3. If he died. I think that's where the list ends. Of all the things listed here, the only thing I am mildly suprised about is his tipping of pitches to opponents. Because of that was the case, you would think he would get caught by a teammate and called out. My only theory is that either his teammates did not care, or that everyone was doing it.
Speaking about his high school steroid use, that sounds about right. Coming out of high school he was regarded as the greatest prospect in the history of the sport. Coupled with his daddy issues, arrogance, and constant need for the approval of others, im suprised he didn't start using in middle school. Everyone saw this coming. You, me, the Yankees, baseball fans, your grandmother, everyone.
So what the heck is going to happen when he comes back to the Yankees? My guess is, probably not much. He will be bombarded with questions, asked about further steroid use, not tipping at Hooters (Even I tip 25%), bitch tits, and what not. And since he already when through this charade during that apology press conference, he will think he is done with this and say "No comment" or "Next question".
Rodriguez returns to the mess he made in two weeks. He will eventually have to address his steroid use, his broken family, his muscular women fetish, all while holding together the Yankees offense. I have said it before, only nine more years of this. Who knows what else will come out?
