As if the New York Yankees need another public relations headache.

 

After losing a fifth straight game Tuesday night -- and falling 14½ games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East -- the slumping Yankees woke up this morning to find another black eye. And this one came off the field.

 

The New York Post ran a front-page bombshell exclusive today with photos of Yankee third baseman and all-star Alex Rodriguez apparently visiting a strip club in Toronto on Sunday night with an unidentified blonde woman. The headline dubbed the high-priced talent "Stray-Rod."

 

"The cozy duo dined with two pals at a pricey steakhouse late Sunday night," the Post reported, "then headed to a glitzy strip club before making their way to his hotel, where the pair ducked into an elevator and headed upstairs just after midnight."

 

Rodriguez and his guest stayed at the Four Seasons while most of his Yankees teammates and coaches were checked in down the road at the Park Hyatt, the Post reported.

 

Rodriguez, who went 0-3 in Tuesday night's loss to the Blue Jays, gave the Post a "no comment" when asked about his night out. A Yankees spokesman told the Post that Rodriguez never comments on his personal life.

 

The Yankees star is married to wife Cynthia, with whom he has a 2-year-old daughter, Natasha. His wife, who was photographed with Rodriguez in the 2004 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, was nowhere to be seen during the Yankees' Toronto road trip, according to the Post.

 

A witness told the Post that Rodriguez and the mystery woman dined at the upscale Harbour Sixty Steakhouse before visiting the Brass Rail, one of the city's most exclusive strip clubs.

This happens all the time in sports, but A-Rod seemed a little careless here.

1.) This is a non-story.

2.) How is this any of our business?

Its just amazing how the NY Times will go out of their way to sink this guy. Like the Yankees really need more controversy.

These 2 lines are just ridiculous:

Come on now, how come I have this suspicion that the NY Post would be more than willing to give this story more play than the Giambi/steroid situation?

Exactly. I am currently in NY and this is everywhere this morning. Then I turn on ESPNRadio and they are talking about it. I didn't know exactly what happened until I read the story, and I couldn't understand why it was getting sooo much attention.

ARod's May Splits:

.235 .359 .429 .788

 

A little lower slugging and that'd fit right in with the Sox.

 

If nothing else...this month may well be the last straw on his opt-out.

Crede for A-Rod right now

Not saying what ARod is doing is right, but as Kalapse has said, the NY media needs to lay off. Apparently, ARod is satan.

I'm pretty sure ARod is the only NY athlete and certainly the only Yankee who has ever stepped out on his wife. If that even is what he's doing.

It's the Post, not the Times.

of course.

Aside from Kobe asking for a trade this is the top story on SportsCenter. How pathetic is that s***? When did professional sports start moving in the National Enquirer/People Magazine direction? AROD GOES TO DINNER WITH A MYSTERIOUS BLONDE WOMAN! The sporting world comes to a screeching halt.

In related news... A-Rod is back to his suck-y ways! What ever happened to all that MVP talk I heard about?

Even with his miserable May numbers he's still sporting a line of .293/.386/.649/1.035 w/ 19 HR, 44 RBI and a 176 OPS+. Outside of perhaps Maggs and maybe Vlad who in the AL is having a better season than Rodriguez?

carrying a $200 million team gets a little burdensome at times

"The cozy duo dined with two pals at a pricey steakhouse late Sunday night," the Post reported, "then headed to a glitzy strip club before making their way to his hotel, where the pair ducked into an elevator and headed upstairs just after midnight."

 

A little after midnight seems a bit early to me...

Agreed. None of our business and I find it disturbing that some paper probably followed him around just waiting to get a picture.

I'd still trade any player on our roster for him.

 

Well, except for Logan.

While at the same time Derek Jeter was saying his prayers and getting to bed at a decent hour to be ready to lead the Yankees to victory the next day.

I wonder if Alex still wants to remain in NY?

Wrong. He was playing Bloons at all hours of the night.

Not only that, they "caught" them together at four different cities, cataloged all the strip bars in NYC and Vegas that A-Rod frequents (those they know about, as he apparently uses the private/VIP suites as often as possible and for obvious reasons)...to top it off, they identified the woman as being from Iowa (Cedar Rapids) and tracked down former high school classmates, tried to ambush her parents and talked to her neighbors. Apparently, the escort/dancer had posed in Playboy for one picture, so now she's a Playboy Bunny, lol.

more give me more

Funny because I was in Toronto at the time when it happened.

 

Blonde is Joslyn Noel Morse said in recent newspaper. Some sort of playboy wannabee.

 

Arod seems to have a thing for muscular women.
