A-Rod Rehab Plan Apparently Includes Lap Dances
Say what you will about Madonna; at least she had Alex Rodriguez home by bedtime. I wasn’t going to write anything about this brewing A-Rod late night carousing story, because staying out until 2:30 a.m. for a pro baseball player isn’t that big of a deal, even if you have been benched due to fatigue.

A-Rod in Spotlight, Back to Old Ways
by Lisa OlsonFiled under: MLBIn a kinder, gentler world, one without cell phone cameras and the insatiable desire to know everything about everyone, here's what would be relevant: Alex Rodriguez is in a brutal slump, the Yankees are in a bit of trouble and most of the pertinent details can be found in the latest box scores.

Set Expectations for A-Rod at Wait-and-See
There is much hand-wringing over Alex Rodriguez, his .213/.371/.456 batting line, and the eight-plus years remaining on his contract. It is understandable, of course: for the kind of money the Yankees are paying A-Rod, more was expected. These are supposed to be the seasons that justify the money A-Rod will be making in his forties, [...]
A-Rod to sit out one day a week
It was hard to tell whether two days of rest helped Alex Rodriguez, but the slumping third baseman will have some more days off coming his way in the near future to help him get past the fatigue that has slowed him down this month.
A-Rod plays, but it didn't matter much
And on the seventh day, A-Rod didn't rest. Not that it mattered much -- 1 for 4 with as many whiffs as RBI (two). For a player with Alex Rodriguez's resume, that's a line remarkable only in that it raised his batting average from .212 to .213. Maybe, to paraphrase boxing manager Joe Jacobs at a frigid World Series game, he shoulda stood in bed.

You probably don't remember the shock when the first Million dollar salary was earned.....now utility players are earning that much. I suggest you read the article again. Rodriguez sitting out three games is making more in those games than his replacement makes in a year....and that isn't affecting your ability to go see a game?
I'll sit here on the Cape and watch future players and potential stars, play competitive baseball, enjoy the game, sign endless autographs for anyone, and pay exactly $0 dollars to do it.
