A-Rod says George Clooney is his hero

Posted on April 26, 2012 by admin

Alex Rodriquez is finally opening up about his relationship with ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz. Using the actress’ initials as a term of endearment, A-Rod tells “The Insider’ host Kevin Frazier— in the show airing Thursday night: “I don’t like talking about my relationships, but I will tell you about CD: She’s probably one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever met, and an amazing light,” reports Page Six of The New York Post. When asked about another swing at marriage, the divorced Yankee slugger didn’t sound as enthusiastic. “I’m not sure,” said Rodriguez. “I think my new hero is George Clooney.” Not Ken Griffey Jr. — whom A-Rod just passed on the career home-run list— or Cal Ripkin, but the eternal bachelor whose current girlfriend Stacy Keibler is close friends with Rodriguez’s latest love Torrie Wilson. The two statuesque blonds are former WCW and WWE wrestlers. “He’s my new role model.” he says of Clooney. “I think he’s done it right.” Continue reading →

A-Rod gets to meet his wrestling hero

Posted on April 3, 2012 by admin

Alex Rodriguez was spotted at WrestleMania XXVIII with his just as buff girl ex-WWE diva Torrie Wilson and he got a chance to meet with one of his favorite wrestlers — John Cena— before the grappler’s match with The Rock on Sunday night. Witnesses said the New York Yankees slugger grinned like a kid meeting a super hero while seated in the front row of Sun Life Stadium in Miami and shaking Cena’s hand. A-Rod probably had his bubble burst when Cena hinted that he more of a Derek Jeter fan. While A-Rod was gushing over the WWE star, Cena pointed down at his shoes. “Tell your boy Derek I’m wearing his kicks,” Cena told Rodriguez as he showed off his Nike Jordan Jeters. No problem. Rodriguez still had Wilson— who is known as “T-Bod” for her toned physique— to comfort him before Cena mixed it up with local favorite The Rock and get ambushed by Brock Lesnar. Backstage, after the match, A-Rod and Wilson looked happy, according to Page Six of the New York Post. “They were joined at the hip,” a spy said. “A-Rod was backstage with her, then they stayed for the show. They sat ringside, and he was really into it. They were really affectionate and adorable together,” Rodriguez also got a surprise when he ran into his teammate Robinson Cano— who also took in the festivities— after they both played an exhibition game against the Miami Marlins earlier in the day.

Burnett: New delivery changed velocity

Posted on February 21, 2012 by admin

Ex-Yankees pitcher A.J. Burnett says he enjoyed his time in New York, but wished he could’ve had an opportunity this season to prove people wrong. “I have a championship there,” Burnett, who was traded the Pirates on Saturday in exchange for a pair of prospects — Pittsburgh will only have to pay $13 million of the $31 million left on his contract, sources told ESPN The Magazine’s Buster Olney — said during a Tuesday appearance on ESPN NewYork 1050’s “The Michael Kay Show.

Hangin’ with Phil Hughes

Posted on February 21, 2012 by admin

In a new feature of the blog, we have started Hangin’, where we go off the field with the Yankees. First up, Phil Hughes. Q: When Phil Hughes is away from the ballpark, who do you hang out with? A: Usually on the road, I’ll hang out with Gardy (Brett Gardner) a lot. If his wife doesn’t come on the trip we’ll hang out and play video games in the hotel. People think we live a pretty glamorous life but it is similar to hanging out with your buddies back home. Continue reading →

Write it in ink: Yankees lineups set

Posted on February 21, 2012 by admin

Now that the Yankees have finalized their deal with Raul Ibanez, we can predict with full confidence the Yankees lineup on a daily basis no matter who is pitching. On days a right-hander is starting, Ibanez will start and, I’m guessing, bat seventh. On a day a lefty is starting, the same spot will be filled by Andruw Jones. I will trust you to fill in the rest of the batting order. That’s because Joe Girardi essentially said either Ibanez or Jones will be in the lineup every day, mostly as a DH platoon, but also occasionally in the outfield. Continue reading →

The Translator: Joe Girardi on Mo Rivera

Posted on February 21, 2012 by admin

The Translator is a recurring feature of the blog where we will present what someone said and what (we think) they mean by running his words through our high-tech Truth Detector. THE QUESTION: “What is your reaction to what Mariano Rivera said on Monday?” THE ANSWER: “Yeah, I saw it. I’m not sure how it came out. That’s his prerogative. By not sharing it with anyone, that gives him the option to change his mind … You know that obviously one day it’s going to come to an end. Continue reading →

Olney: Pineda is a huge addition (literally)

Posted on February 21, 2012 by admin

TAMPA, Fla. — CC Sabathia, a redwood of a pitcher at 6-foot-7, has a pants inseam of 36 inches. Ivan Nova, who is about 6-5, has an inseam of 40 inches. “But I have it that long because I wear my pants long,” Nova explained, saying his legs really aren’t as long as that inseam measurement suggests. Michael Pineda is bigger than Sabathia, bigger than Nova. Phil Hughes is 6-5, and as he worked in the same group as Pineda, Sabathia and Nova at New York Yankees camp here Monday, he might as well have been Eddie Gaedel. Continue reading →

Jones caught in a numbers game

Posted on February 21, 2012 by admin

Poor Andruw Jones. Last season, he arrived in Yankees camp to learn that No. 25, the number he had worn throughout his major-league career, was already the property of Mark Teixeira. So he went for No. 18. This season, he ran into Hiroki Kuroda, who wanted No. 18 because it has some sort of significance for Japanese-born pitchers. (Daisuke Matsuzaka wears it. So did Hideki Irabu and a bunch of others). So now, he’s wearing 22, previously worn by Roger Clemens, and most recently, by Colin Curtis and Chad Huffman in 2010. Continue reading →
