Girardi vs. A-Rod: How Heated Was It?
Baseball, Movies, Video June 22nd. 2009, 6:00pm
Although the New York media reported that all’s well between Joe Girardi and Alex Rodriguez after The $203,740 Per Game Man rode the bench in Friday’s loss to the Marlins (“fatigue”), we’re hearing that the discussion was anything but amicable. Linda Robertson of the Miami Herald reported the two “spoke sharply” behind closed doors prior to Friday’s game – A-Rod denied it, of course – but according to a Miami source, A-Rod demanded to know from Girardi “why didn’t you sit me against the Nationals?”
According to the source close to A-Rod, the Yankees original plan was to rest their star from “from time to time” after he returned from hip surgery. When A-Rod arrived late to the park Friday – he was seeing family and friends and got stuck in traffic – he was peeved to learn that Girardi had waited until the first game in Miami to rest him. We’re hearing the conversation was heated because Rodriguez had invited dozens of friends and family to the stadium.
Naturally, the talk in the fickle world of talk radio today was about Girardi and whether or not he’s losing the Yanks, who just dropped four of six to two sub-.500 teams in the NL East. The Yankees are still on top of the Wild Card standings, but as the team nears the mid-way point, lingering questions about Sabathia’s arm, Wang’s status, the Great Joba Debate, Burnett’s slow start and A-Rod’s health have the Bronx Bombers faithful feeling queasy about their spot in the AL.
Could his rift with Girardi be part of the reason A-Rod partied hard all weekend with Kate Hudson? Of course, the story would get really juicy if A-Rod would go after Girardi like these two fans did over the weekend in an empty stadium. Make note of the little kids on each side – one throws punches, another whines.

That’ll be all for today, folks. The interns begin to bring it tomorrow, and we inch closer to the draft. Wimbeldon’s underway! Look alive, less than 36 hours to Transformers.

That Marlins fan with the flying punch reminds me of Adam Levine for some reason.

anyone know what got into Stephen A. Smith today? Twitter breakdown?
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:34 pm
way to be classy…
although when the fat yankees fan is being led away, he still finds time to pick up and dust off his “vintage” visor.
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:34 pm
no post on Don Fehr retiring?
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:35 pm
Stephen…maybe they’re just trying to be nice?
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:38 pm
whats that thing with the cheese puffs? I didnt get it
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:40 pm
I don’t get why this has to be a race issue. Then again, that’s how SAS rose to fame, so I guess I just answered my own question.
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:41 pm
Hopefully, one of the interns will work on a PM roundup.
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:10 pm
That Stephen A twitter meltdown was great. I was just thinking of unfollowing him because he just did not meet the “ocho cinco” level of twitter talent I need, but that redeemed his status.
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:15 pm
maybe black people would have supported your show if it wasnt a pile of crap. who wants to be yelled at constantly? no one. it doesnt matter what color you are.

I think SAS may have gotten Microsoft Word and Twitter mixed up today as he was typing his latest column from his blackberry.
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:30 pm
All of the announcers are wearing purple today in the CWS. Wonder if Jay will be outraged about the clear SEC bias.

Maybe someone hacked his twi++er account.

was his twitter password CHEESE-DOODLES?
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:43 pm
That baseball fan fight was awesome in so many ways – Flying punch, fat yankees guy filling a stereotype, sneaky punch by a child at :10, crying child at end.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:44 pm
anyone else’s wife more excited than they should be about the big jon and kate plus 8 show tonight?
anyone else getting roped into the episode?
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:48 pm
cnn via people says they are getting divorced. no surprise.
i want to be balls deep in the actress named bianca kajlich on rules of engagement
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Smith’s twitter meltdown is funny. What a piece of shit. Black people don’t support black people? I guess millions more than average turning out to vote for the President isn’t a sign of support. I’m white, so maybe I’m missing something here, but most of that rant sounded like he was seeking sympathy for being tuned out by the masses (Quite Frankly, radio show gone, reduced from columnist to reporter then just quits at Philly).
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:53 pm
TBL – Not gonna’ lie. I’ve heard some stuff about these people, but I have no idea what they are. Some TV show?
I’m rewatching LOST from season 1 all the way through. On episode 12 of S1 right now. I’ll have baseball on the flat panel in the background.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Very well said, sir.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:56 pm
texans, damn, you’re all over it!
that serves me for being away from the cpu for over 2 hrs.
guess who was out in front of this story? yup, my old place of employ. good stuff
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:06 pm
tbl: i saw a couple promos for jon and kate earlier today. as much as i hate to admit it, i’m a little bit interested to see what their “big announcement” is. but since i’m now single there’s no way in hell i’m going to voluntarily watch it. so let me know what goes down, please. in conclusion, kate is a fucking bitch.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:06 pm
I was just now watching DVR’ed PTI, which means I also have to record a half an hour of sportscenter, to get the big finish.
That said, did anybody else see the size of Dana Jacobsen these days? She looks like she could play guard in the NFL. I mean big.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:09 pm
With Shelley Smith and Dana Jacobsen lurking around, ESPN is a chubby chasers dream.
And yeah, Kate’s an uptight, controlling bitch, but I’d bang her. Don’t have to worry about knocking her up!
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:10 pm
ndub: are you doing the lostpedia rewatch? i’ve done my own rewatch over the past few weeks; i actually only have a few more episodes of season 5 left, but i skipped a lot and just read the lostpedia recaps. from what i’ve seen from the first half of s5, i think ben probably knows a lot more about what’s going on than i thought the first time through. i’ll probably watch season 5 again before the new season starts. one question i have (and since you’re nowhere near caught up, i don’t really expect you to know), but why was there a flash that took jack, kate, hurley, and sayid off 316 and put them on the island in 1977? i thought the flashes ended when locke turned the wheel in 1974.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:12 pm
yeah and doesnt greenturd ever go home? How much dick does he have to suck? I wake up at 5 and they are on the radio

here’s a kooky basketball trick shot from some douchey high school kid
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:17 pm
man, this show is depressing. guy’s totally having a mid-life crisis with the earrings and the ed hardy gear. that ed hardy shit looks awful
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 pm
next season on Kate plus 8, the kids watch as mommy puts the screws to daddy.
next season on Jon plus 8 every other week and weekends, the kids watch as daddy tries to bring home a new mommy every night and tries to at least leave his marriage with his balls finally taken out of mommy’s purse.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Part of me can’t blame him. If I woke up one day and had 8 kids and my wife was a gigantic bitch, I think I might break down as well. I don’t know how much they have made over the years, but it better be a lot.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Next season, Plus 8 becomes Plus 9 as Jon knocks up some yinzer bimbo after discovering that his cock isn’t just for getting stomped on by Kate.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:22 pm
She needs a new haircut.
what is this guy’s child support payment going to be like?
you better fucking make your marriage work if you plan on getting invitro
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Next season the kids suddenly have “Uncles” coming and going at all time of the day.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:26 pm
ill choose shotgun mouthwash over 8 kids under the age of 5
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Word. The idea of one kid at this stage in my life makes me cringe. 8 kids would create a a toxic blend of suicidal thoughts, a constant desire to run away and a serious desire to drink like a fish.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:30 pm
It’s their own fault. Put six eggs in, six kids come out.

June 22nd, 2009 at 9:33 pm

does this guy really think he’s going to be able to lock up a quality chick now that he’s got earrings?
dude, you’ve got 8 KIDS. suck it up and work shit out
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Awesome…he just dropped the, “we have people dying in Iraq, so why do they care about us” line. Brilliant.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:37 pm
that iraq line’s weak, man. typical rookie reaction to the media.
the solution would have been easy: quit the show, live life.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:37 pm
+5…awesome. He probably put them in and thought he was going to get some serious ass…and then he realized that he has 8 kids, so instead he cried himself to sleep while wearing an Ed Hardy shirt.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:37 pm
it is kinda hard to work shit out with someone who shits all over you ona daily basis. that lady is a cunt . sorry but there is really no other word. she is more worried about being a star than being a good wife and mother. fuck her
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Is rick ankiel any good? I havent seen anything on the guy since he made it back to the majors as a position player

when he was PEDs he was a world beater but once the story came out he kinda began to suck .
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Funny how now she’s quiet spoken and introspective when her husband finally sacks up and tells her to go fuck herself. Gosh, I know I’ve been a cunt to him for 10 years, I don’t know why he’s so full of anger towards me?
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Word. The idea of one kid at this stage in my life makes me cringe
My boy’s been upstairs grunting and groaning for about an hour, or so, because I fed him yogurt for 2 straight days. He really liked it, but it constipates babies. So I just had to go up there and shove a suppository up his baby ass so he could drop one massive, incredible horrible stinkbomb of a shit.
Meantime, my wife is standing by, about to cry.
Wait as long as you can before having kids, even if it’s forever.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:49 pm
he’s only 32? i guess 8 kids add 8 years to your life?
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:50 pm
had to do the same thing to my nephew about 6 months ago(why me you ask? no dad…and my sister figured it would better if he hated uncle mrejr instead of her…wasnt fun but he did crap like a grown man)
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:50 pm
I just read your post to my wife and her response was:
“Ew…I’m now going to take my birth control pills.”
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:53 pm
“Ew…I’m now going to take my birth control pills.€
my work here is done.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:56 pm
i have no idea how i’d be able to blog and tend to a kid. none.
only have 1 friend with a kid (well, another had one this past weekend), and it seems like a ton of work in addition to a full-time job.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:56 pm
wasnt fun but he did crap like a grown man
That’s not a fair assignment for a nonparent, Mrejr, unless there’s serious hazard pay.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Simmons said the purest/best baseball era was 1988-1992.
I actually may agree with him here.
And that Kate chick is a huge bitch.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:59 pm
ok he crapped like a 400 lb trucker after eating taco bell and drinking coffee for 8 hours. better?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:00 pm

That job screams for CRM.
Wait as long as you can before having kids, even if it’s forever.
I waited till I was 31. Got my 20s out of me. And the best advice someone gave me was, “If you aren’t sure if you want a kid yet, don’t do it now. You can’t unmake a kid.”
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:00 pm
prediction: John struggles to hook up in his new single life, and realizes that chicks aren’t going to be that down for a dude who has to pay alimony for 8 KIDS.
so he goes back to his wife in less than a year
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:01 pm
i have no experience with kids, other than hoping they stay away from me in public places. but i would think that would make it worse, not better.
so what was the big announcement for jon and kate?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:01 pm
I made it to age 39 without changing a diaper, even with 8 nieces and nephews. Now I see a diaper full of green oozing shit and it doesn’t even faze me. I still have to hold my breath though.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:03 pm
ok he crapped like a 400 lb trucker after eating taco bell and drinking coffee for 8 hours. better?
i was commiserating with you, saying you shouldn’t have been the one to have to do it, that it should have been the mom (since the dad is not around).
But I know what you mean. We had this months ago, and this fat little pig hadn’t crapped for 9 days, so I did the trick (again, crying wife wants no part of suppository) and this dude crapped nine days worth all at once, and instantaneously, all over me, the changing table, the laundry hamper and the floor. It was truly enormous. I cleaned and disinfected for hours.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:03 pm

i guess i could have seen that one coming. hopefully tlc gave them a shitload more money for all the publicity this season (not likely, though)
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:05 pm
I think Jon is going to get some sympathy tail out of all this. Plenty of chicks can’t stand Kate and think she’s a ball-breaking bitch.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:05 pm
I bet I have even less. We had my going away party on Saturday and my friend brought over his kid. First time I have ever had to pick up a baby.
Odd feeling that was I must say.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:07 pm
wow. i salute you..luckily my little dude is probably a little older and has a little bit more bowel control and we sat him on the toilet immediatley after doing it
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:08 pm
In all seriousness though, if you’re married to a woman, she’s going to eventually want a baby. You can’t wait till she’s 40, because the risk is too high.
Somewhere in your 30’s, after you’ve done as much fun stuff as you can think of. If she says, we should have a baby, tell her only after you’ve been to Vegas with the guys alone. Better is Montreal, though. Or whatever you want to do that’s awesome, because I can’t even zip out to the recycle center without having my mind on the baby.
I also can barely drink a whole beer without falling asleep.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:09 pm
having to pick up a baby = more experience with kids than me. i was at a restaurant/bar earlier (day drinking, ftw!!!) and i went to piss; these kids (maybe 8 and 11, i have no idea) were in there talking about legos and shit. i felt like a perv just trying to piss around them.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Dirt – that was vile. And what’s up with the wife crying during these poo emergencies?
J+K+8 are pulling down 75k per episode, 40 episodes per season. So they’re doing ok.
/knows too much about that damn show. But the wife watches it and I can look at Asian porn while she’s pre-occupied, so it’s a win-win.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:12 pm
artie would pull twice that much.
/thats not even counting the book deals and appearance fees that kate gets.

Dirt – that was vile. And what’s up with the wife crying during these poo emergencies?
It’s ludicrous of her, because she’s an NP. She does papsmears and prostate exams in the daytime, for a job. So logically, she should be the one doing it. But she gets panicky, thinking the worst, and I’ve got to wade in there and do my thing.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:15 pm

I’m saying blow a gasket. I’m saying get bi-curious. Whatever comes to mind, do it, and do it now. Dive for sharks, run with the bulls, put a dildo on a reciprocating saw, whatever you want.
Then, get some money and put it away, because you’ll need it.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:17 pm
But I’m sure Kate needed some serious reconstructive surgery to repair that roast beef hoagie she had after pushing out all those kids.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:17 pm
dirty – are you sure about those #’s?
75k PER EP? REALLY?
over the course of 5 seasons (40 ep is high, let’s say 20), that’s … uh … 1.5 mil per season, which puts their rev at 7.5 mil.
that doesn’t include the books, commercials, whatever endorsements she’s gotten them.
is jon employed?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:18 pm
mmmmm……massive brisket sammich. That sounds damn tasty.

is there anything more annoying than the ping from a aluminum bat?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:28 pm
@ mrejr: Brett Michaels, Spencer Pratt, Paris Hilton, Perez Hilton, “The View”, all worse than the ping.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:31 pm
you forgot carrot top, and the ying yang twins on cribs “huhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:31 pm
mrejr: there’s nothing like the ping of a bat…when you’re 12 and actually playing (just to be clear: college baseball should use wooden bats)
SC: texas sucks. so i guess, go LSU
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Ever take a come-backer as a pitcher off of one of those fuckers? I still have a lump on my ankle the size of a softball from it.
And it’s hard for me to pull for anyone in this game dirt. I guess I’d rather have big 12 than SEC though…
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:34 pm
i prefered to use wood when i was played little league so i could look like a big leaguer. had the ‘uge pinch of big league chew in and everything.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:37 pm
the black and white louisville slugger looked cooler than any aluminum bat ever made
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:39 pm
mrejr my mom was telling me that they had designated smoking sections in her high school.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:44 pm
i wouldnt doubt it. my small engines teacher let us dip in his class because 1 his class was in a garage seperate from the school and 2 other teachers and the principle didnt come out there to fuck with him because he was mean as fuck and 3 he was cool as fuck. one time he told us to write down the parts of a carburetor so i wrote down “3 parts of a carburetor” and turned it in he read it as soon as i put it on his desk,smiled real big at me and gave me an a.

June 22nd, 2009 at 10:46 pm
that is a badass story.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:47 pm
and is dip cooler/better than cigarettes?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:49 pm
well it depends on who you ask. i dont smoke anymore since i started to dip so i prefer to chew because you can gave a a huge dip take it out and not smell like a can of dip. when you smoke you cant help but to smell like a ashtray
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:49 pm
based on what i’ve seen here, i’m guessing most people will say yes. but i’ve always preferred smoking to dip.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:50 pm
So, you guys are saying…enjoy your 20’s? Sorry to be the youngblood here.
Well, yeah, but it isn’t like having a kid ends your life. As with me, I just got sick and tired of constantly going out and getting bombed every night. Now I pick and choose my spots. I have a three year old and that is a big fun age. And changing diapers is no big deal. If changing diapers is what is holding you up for having a kid, don’t have one. That’s the least of your issues. I can change a diaper in my sleep.
RE: Jon/Kate’s money. They live in a seven figure house. They have bodyguards. They are millionaires a few times over. Both of them are fucking other people and have been for some time. They’ll never get back together, but I would not be surprised to see both next season and they’ll exploite those damn kids with the angle of how to raise eight kids when divorced. They are both media whores and our wives and girlfriends are funding their lifestyle.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:50 pm
and i can breath 10x better than when i smoked
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Well I have asthma so I’m thinking dip might work better in my case. Isn’t it cheaper? And any reccomendations?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:53 pm
based on what i’ve seen here, i’m guessing most people will say yes. but i’ve always preferred smoking to dip.
As someone who has done both, neither is cool. However, to baseball kids, dipping is cool. Parents have gone batshit crazy on the sports radio shows here, because Jacobs always has a wad the size of a grapefruit in when he comes up to the plate. It is not as bad as it was when I was an impressionable little shit in the 80s.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:54 pm
unpossible. but good comments re: jon and kate.
mrejr: i actually wouldn’t mind switching to chewing tobacco, but here’s my problem (apologies if i’m just fucking up terribly): whenever i try to dip, i get really bad hiccups. i suspect i’m just doing it wrong, but i don’t know how to fix it. any ideas?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Hasn’t every high school kid seen the videos of the folks with half their jaws removed from cancer due to dipping?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:55 pm
And any reccomendations? Lance
My reccomendation? Don’t do it.
/Skoal Long-cut Wintergreen or Kodiac if funds are tight.
//Stay the fuck away from Copenhagen no matter what the cool dippers tell you.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:56 pm
yes it is currently cheaper. if i was you and jsut now starting i would just stop and not do it it is still a nasty habit. and beprepared to have spit bottles aeverywhere(i have gotten pretty good by only having one spit bottle a day and throwing it away when i get a new bottle) but if you are gonna do it i would suggest starting off on something for beginners like cherry skoal(thats what i chew..fuck you spence it tastes good dammit!)if you go for copenhagen you will regret it. it is strong as fuck and you will end up puking. i have been chewing since i was like 15 and i highly reccommend that you dont start chewing or smoking.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:58 pm
great minds kc
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:59 pm
the cigarette smoking has been on-again off-again for me since I was 18, and at worst I went through a pack a week. I guess I was thinking that if I was able to avoid getting addicted to smokes, maybe I could do the same with dip; and avoid making the asthma worse. I guess I should just be healthy and uncool.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Hasn’t every high school kid seen the videos of the folks with half their jaws removed from cancer due to dipping?
Fuck yeah. Just like kids saw the lungs of a cadaver that smoked and I think most all of us went through D.A.R.E. That shit doesn’t work. Every teenager thinks they are immortal.
As with me, I just got sick and tired of constantly going out and getting bombed every night.
unpossible. Gfunk
Let me clarify… I still drink, but I don’t drop $50+ a night going out to bars and then trying to figure out how to get home.

Worked for me for some reason. Unless you count cigars. And I don’t.

fucking a. when all your friends are breathing like they ran a couple miles after walking up a few flight of stairs they will envy you.

fair enough. i left the days of dropping $50/night behind when i finished college.

Alright, good talk everyone, I will avoid the tobacco products. And KC another reason programs like DARE don’t work is because the brain doesn’t fully develop until a person is between 21-24.

mrejr – High five! And, yeah, the spit bottles. I went on three dates with a girl and date number four was going to be nookie time. We went back to my place and I had a spit cup on the coffee table and a bottle in the bathroom (for what I took shits). She was out of the apartment within 10 minutes.
Gfunk – Ugh, I didn’t spend much money in college. Bong rips and $.25 draw night usually. Once i got a job and was young and single and making money and was within walking distance of 20 bars in KC, I was blowing through money. Seems stupid in retrospect, but whatever. What is done is done. Besides, all that money goes into diapers now.

Hell, no. Sipping on a couple Miller Lights and 6:00 clock in the morning comes early.

Gfunk – I’m watching all of them AGAIN. This is my second time through. I’m doing it for the enjoyment and also to pick up on stuff that I know I missed the first time around.
As far as that season 5 flash stuff…. man, that was a twisted season. I’m going to have to rewatch that to give you a straight answer. I think if you rewatch the part of episode ‘316′ in which Eloise Hawking (white-haired lady) is explaining how they’ll return to The Island. It has nothing to do with Locke spinning the wheel. His spins were about what’s going on ON The Island. Ajira 316, I believe, finds a wormhole back to The Island because of its similarities to Oceanic 815. Now, why some go back to 1977 and others to 2007 has yet to be explained.
As far as as the recaps on Lostpedia or anywhere else…. they’re nice, but they do not give much insight into the characters. The flashbacks and (later in the series) flashforwards we’re treated to are very helpful in developing characters and make you like/love/hate/whatever these people. I’d recommend watching as many episodes as you can. Frankly, all of them.
Wow, a long response…Hopefully you’re still around.

Don’t know if you’re out there Clown, but that was the second most amazing college baseball game I have ever seen. We had the baseball gods on our side this time.
/for the record, I will always have the LSU/Miami 1996 game (a.k.a. Warren Morris’ home run) as the greatest game ever, for admittedly selfish reasons
