This comes to us from the good folks at CNN, who sent over a transcript of today’s “Reliable Sources†show in which host Howard Kurtz blurted out — I mean reported exclusively — that Alex Rodriguez called Selena Roberts and apologized for bashing her in his ESPN ...
Hurricanes now play in Juicer Park
Whoa, talk about really bad timing.
Someone in the Miami Hurricane family must be snorting the good stuff. Though Alex Rodriguez never played for the University of Miami, he now has a ballpark named after him.

Well because ESPN is using him to promote their coverage of the World Baseball Classic. I honestly wish I was kidding.
