Alex Rodriguez has been benched by the Yankees so he can overcome his exhaustion. And what, you ask, could a young, fit man like A-Rod be doing to tire himself out so much? The
New York Post offers an answer:
Kate Hudson may be wearing A-Rod out. The slumping Yankee slugger missed most of last night’s [...]

Alex Rodriguez, in the midst of a spectacularly bad 2009, has been pulled from the starting lineup for at least two games due to fatigue by Brian Cashman and Hal Steinbrenner (and not Joe Girardi). Rodriguez finally agreed to the forced sabbatical after a phone call-née-intervention involving Cashman, Steinbrenner, Rodriguez’s doctors, his Aunt Ginny, and [...]

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.

The more I think about this weekend’s A-Rod injury flap, the more I wonder how the Yankees could get this one so wrong. Just two months removed from a major labrum procedure, Joe Girardi penciled A-Rod into the [...]

From Bob Klapisch:As the Yankees slip just out of the Red Sox’ radar range, Joe Girardi enters a critical phase of his managerial career. He must prove he’s secure enough to survive the Bombers’ recent turbulence without burnout – to himself and his key players.Girardi already crossed that line with Alex Rodriguez, using his refurbished slugger in 38 consecutive games after...

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, [...]

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.

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.

I don't know who told the Yankees that it was okay to snooze through series with the Nationals and the Marlins.Because they have, they're now four out of first and once again in third place. It's as though something happened when they got swept in Boston. Everything had been going swimmingly well, and then, boom, not any more.The weather hasn't helped, but they are...

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.

himself has stated that Kate has better stuff than any one he has faced or looked at. And the largest amounts of curves which is her formula for wearing A ("The") Rod OUT.
The Commissioners office has made inquiries as to whether she is on the Red Sox Payroll.
