After another Yankees loss yesterday, the New York media is obviously disgusted. They demand excellence and this Yankees bunch isn’t delivering it. It’s gotten to the point where they’ll show anything to get their anger across. The Daily Sports News has made their feelings felt about the Yankees’ play. The New York Times? They’re focusing on something entirely different. Apparently, Alex Rodriguez’s wife showed up the Yankee Stadium with a vulgar shirt. The back of it read very clearly: F*** You.
“[One] father, was so embarrassed, he got up and left and took his son,” who appeared to be about 10 years old, a fan said.
“I mean this kid was right in back of Cynthia – his nose must have been about 4 inches away from the words ‘F- – - you.’ “
While I always appreciate the good-humored f bomb, wearing a shirt with that little creativity doesn’t do the word justice. If it was something like “F*** Boston” or even “Buck Foston,” it might earn applause instead of scorn. But because it’s A-Rod’s wife and the team is sucking complete ass, it’s getting in the news. Let me add the obvious to this discussion. It’s Yankee Stadium. If you’ve sat in a New York crowd, you know their knack for stringing together some F bombs. Hell, you can go to any stadium in the world and come across the word in some form.
Despite Alex Rodriguez putting up eye-popping numbers and getting love respect from all corners of the baseball world, he’s going through a tough year. Thanks to the New York media machine (and ESPN), Rodriguez has seemingly been in the news for everything but his 27 homers. There’s the infield fly ball controversy, the nameless whore in Toronto, and now the shirt his wife wears. Her shirt, although trashy, essentially sums up what Rodriguez feels in that damn city.
Note: Damn, does she look beat or what?

Since Mrs. A-Rod isn’t going to voluntarily tell us who her message was for, here are some guesses.
