Another Feminine A-Rod Story
Not that this has any relevance to sports, but the New York Post apparently got a preview of Cynthia Rodriguez’s interview with YES on the show YESterday’s, and she relayed a story that A-Rod had passed out during the birth of his first daughter. Some quotable stuff right here:
“The one nurse had a cold cloth on his head. The other nurse had the blood pressure on his arm. And my mother was like rubbing his back. And he is passed out on a couch. And I am there, in the middle of labor,” Cynthia Rodriguez, wife of the New York Yankees star, said on an episode of the YES Network’s “YESterdays” that is scheduled to be broadcast Wednesday night.
“And really, I am not being paid much attention to besides the doctor and a couple of nurses,” she said. “And he is there moaning. In between pushing, I am going, `Honey, are you OK?’ and `Are you breathing? Are you OK?’ “
Later on in the story:
“As tough and big as he seems, he is real wimpy around doctors or any type of medical situation,” Cynthia Rodriguez said, according to excerpts released Tuesday by YES. “I don’t know why I thought the birth of our child would be different. In the middle of the night, I realized that I needed to go to the hospital. I wake him up. The first thing that comes out of his mouth, `Can we call your mother?’ … A few hours later, I said, `I think you can call my mom now.’ Uh, and the color came back to his face when I told him he could call my mom.”
Now, if you ask our resident Yankee fan Bill Slattery about A-Rod, he will probably tell you about his tirade via Instant Messenger Away Messages, featuring such classics as “A-Rod drinks wine coolers”. And while I understand that a lot of men probably pass out during child labor, it just adds to A-Rod’s not so manly demeanor that he carries. I also love how badly his wife sold him out about the whole ordeal. Now that is true love. I guess the pay back was due after A-Rod got caught with that blond stripper.

In fairness to A-Rod, childbirth probably ranks as one of the most disgusting sights ever. We all remember when I saw Knocked Up how I walked out of the cinema during the childbirth scene. I think I would rather watch Gigli on repeat for an entire week than watch a baby being born. That being said, I would never pass out during childbirth, because I wouldn’t be there in the first place.
And A-Rod carries a man-purse.
Why are the Met fans writing stories about the Yankees and the Yankees fans writing stories about the Mets?
“And while I understand that a lot of men probably pass out during child labor, it just adds to A-Rod’s not so manly demeanor that he carries.”
If you really understood this then why would you use it to bash his character unless you have some biased ill feelings towards him? Witness the birth of a child first before bashing A-Rod, and how was “the payback due” when nothing was proven anything happened with the stripper.
