Alex Rodriguez’s life would make a good episode for The Twilight Zone. A-Rod has been blessed with the skills and talent of the greatest baseball player of all-time, but he’s carrying a curse that won’t let him win over his teammates or fans. The latest stories have Alex linked to Madonna and his wife Cynthia in Paris with Lenny Kravitz.

Cynthia Rodriguez’ mother denied that her daughter was out of the country, but Lenny Kravitz has spoken and said that it’s true. Read the full story

A-Rod changes diapers, saves babies, and gets people off of drugs and Jeter still hates him.. Damn, what’s a fella to do? And if helping people makes you screw up during the game, D.J. and Robinson Cano must be Batman and Robin in their spare time.. They’ve combined for 14 errors this season. **YBB GUARANTEE**  Ruben Rivera is somewhere rocking the chain that A-Rod dropped on the ground at the end of the video.

Time is running out… If you haven’t checked out my “Can You Help A Brotha Out??” post, please do. I’m asking for everybody that goes to that post to leave a number from 1 to 16 in the comments section. IT DOESN’T MATTER if the number you leave is a repeat. You’re all kind of voting on something that will be revealed in a post tomorrow. One thing I don’t understand is that quite a few people have visited the post but only 20 people have left a number. To quote Mark Jackson, “You’re better than that”.

There are times in your life you know what you’re doing is wrong. Then there’s times that you do something, only to look back and say, man I shouldn’t have done that(see Jody Reed contract negotiations). This video is both for A-Rod.. There’s no way he thought this was a good idea before or after he participated. It’s hard enough for him to win over the NY fans without them seeing him with his eyes closed, saying “aaaah that’s good, that’s good”, getting a topless back rub…from a man..

I’ve been scouring the Internet for this video only to have TheBigLead.com find it first. Damn it man.

Again.. Props to everybody that has left a number in the Can You Help A Brotha Out?? post. I’m accepting your numbers up until midnight Pacific on Wednesday. It doesn’t matter if you repeat a number that somebody already posted. So, again, please click here  and leave any number from 1 to 16 in the comments.
