It has been widely reported that In the new Joe Torre/Tom Verducci book. Mr. Torre takes some shots at A Rod, referring to how some teammates referred to him as A Fraud. Well in amazing stroke of luck I have found an excerpt from the book detailing a conversation between Alex and Joe before a playoff game.
"Joe: Alex, you've really been pressing lately so to alleviate some of the pressure, I am going to drop you to 7th in the order.
A Rod: God that Madonna is real put together...you know for an older lady.
Joe: Alex, are you even listening....I'm dropping you to 7th in the order....for a playoff game.
A Rod: I mean she's still in really good shape, she doesn't have any loose, hangy skin or anything.
Joe: Alex....I don't think your head is in the game.
A Rod: ...and she's real spiritual too.....that Kaballah seams like something I could really get into.
Joe: Are you f'ing kidding me right now?
A Rod: ...cause we are livvving in a material world....and I am a material girl....
Joe: God damn it.
A Rod: MATERIAALLLLLLL"
Really interesting stuff there...I can see where the controversy comes from.
Also the Yankees signed Andy Pettitte to a one year deal with a guranteed base salary of $5.5 million but could be worth up to $12 with all the incentives. I love this signing. The Yankees are getting Andy on the cheap, and if he has a good year he gets his money.
*Standing ovation for Cashmoney*
