You know it’s not going to be a fun day of journalism when you pull into the parking lot and six television trucks are jockeying for parking spaces at 8:05 a.m. Meanwhile some dude in a suit and long hair is walking around the press box talking with an English accent into his phone.
Even the British, it seems, are interested in A-Rod.
What would have to happen in the workout today to get in the paper? I can’t imagine. Jeter should announce today that’s getting married and moving to center field. Nobody would care.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
You changed the title, Pete, as i was typing!
Pete -
I don’t envy you today. Not at all.

(From last thread) Even if they are just being good foot soldiers, why would that be a bad thing? They are on the same team and need to work together. A show of solidarity is positive for the team as much as it is for ARod.
And, you know, I think we all “get” that ARod is a quirky individual. The Joel Shermans of the world need to tone down the hyperbole. Yeah, we’re all disappointed that ARod did this. Life goes on.
Well today is gonna be fun. 2 hours of hearing the same questions asked 12 different ways designed to get Mister Intellectual to screw up.

Maybe it was Doctor Who.
Well if right after Alex finishes telling the media all it doesn’t want to hear Jeter says he’s getting married to Minka Kelly that would make the day less about Alex which would be great for everybody. So Jeter even if you’re not interested in a family or whatever do it for Alex. Dream on. Matsui is still going to get his money. (added by Mobile using Mippin)
Any chance at a few of those iphone shots of the circus developing?
Man that says it all, Pete. Great title, Tom!
Call me when the elephants, bearded lady and clowns arrive.
And the one ton women.
“Even the British, it seems, are interested in A-Rod.”
I have to say it came as a shock when A-Rod was all over the back page of the Daily Telegraph sports section the other day.

==========================
Maybe CC will put on a dress? That will divert attention away from Alex for a second
j/k
I think Matsui should walk around with his picture wife, than the Japanese media will leave and follow him around and ask his wife questions.
Has anyone proposed a drinking game?
Take 1 drink each time:
-A reporter says “substance,” “PED,” “steroid,” or “Selena Roberts”
-A reporter asks about ARod’s knowledge of other PED users
-ARod declines to answer a question
-ARod says “sorry” or “mistake”
-ARod says a word or phrase that no one has used in the last 25 years, e.g., “loosey-goosey”
-ARod makes a funny face
Take 2 drinks each time:
-A reporter says “HGH,” “Pettitte,” or “Giambi”
-Girardi or another Yankee player visibly winces after ARod says something
-You reflexively slap your own forehead after ARod says something
-A reporter asks a question not related to PEDs or Selena Roberts
-ARod embraces Girardi
Finish your drink if:
-ARod admits to using PEDs before 2001 or after 2003
-ARod pledges to donate any of his salary to charity
-ARod says he is quitting baseball and entering a monastery
-ARod challenges Selena Roberts to a duel
-Girardi stops the interview
-ARod embraces Jeter
if i drank a shot every time arod said honest or honestly in last weeks lie fest, id still be drunk.
Jeremy -
You forgot “naive.”
The sooner this is over the better. But we all know the media will beat this story to death like everything else. Bring on the game!
Is the first full squad workout today and if so, what time do they start the workout?
Jeremy
Are you trying to kill people?
Nice Airplane reference
Here in England he is only known as the guy that was dating Maddona. I was actually shocked to see a photo of him in the newspaper last week, but it was strickly in relation to the ongoing drama of Maddona’s lovelife…
Pete,
Awesome header for this post.I snuck a peek at the blog during a work break and laughed out loud before I could catch myself when I saw the pic. Keep your sense of humor,please.
