They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This person is always in the press, always on TV, always on the Web and most times on the back or front page of the New York newspapers. For a little mindless Friday fun I want to know what are you two favorite pictures?
- Do you like AROD playing for his country
- In a swimsuit
- Playing for the NY Yankees
- Playing for the Texas Rangers
- Playing for the Seattle Mariners
- Fighting with the Boston Redsox
- Signing Autographs?
- How about some of the headlines form the NY newspapers?
What is your favorite picture?
Kate Albert says:
I think I like the roid-snarl displayed in the last picture with the appropriate headline “A-Roid”. He’s dating Kate Hudson now in case anyone is interested.
tobey belsky says:
they all represent who he is. Unfortunately not the most positive role model.
howard burack says:
A-Rod getting a face wash from Jason Varitek. The warrior giving it to the hot dog.
tobey belsky says:
I forgot to mention too bad he turned out to be such an overpaid jerk!
Michael Halberstam says:
Hard to pick a winner here but I think the picture of the girl in the fountain is my favorite. The one with the non-descript guy in the background. Why do these great-looking women always go for the wimpy guys?
Adam Jolley says:
I was at the game when Tek shoved his glove in ARod’s face. It was also the cover for the book “Faithful” that was a lucky-timing, running diary of the 2004 season co-written by Steven King. I think the quote from Tek to ARod before the glove goes in his face is best.
“We don’t hit .260 hitters, take your base.”
Rick Johnson says:
I like the NY Times the best. A-Rod, all hype all the time. The BOSOX have their number right now. Just hope they do in the fall when it counts!
Will Morris says:
Where is the picture of him purse slapping the ball out of the first baseman’s mitt in the playoffs. Wasn’t that against the beloved Red Sox as well?
Merrill Dubrow says:
Willie,
You are right it was against the Redsox – I should have included that one.
Thanks.
Merrill
Marc says:
All I know is the Phillys slammed the Sox yesterday. It was beautiful!
Amber Leila Jones says:
Let me just say….any picture of ARod is a good picture….little partial to him – love those bad boys!
Kevin says:
I actually saved the NY Post’s “A Hole” cover. Whenever I’m down, I bring it out and suddenly things are right again.
Merrill Dubrow says:
Kevin,
That is VERY, VERY funny!

Merrill Dubrow says:
AROD needs a few days off………………..
A-Rod swinging a tired bat
Alex Rodriguez has three hits in his last 32 at-bats and has seen his batting average drop to .219 after going 0-for-3 with a walk in last night’s 3-2 Yankees loss to the Nationals.
Is fatigue the reason? And is Rodriguez concerned that manager Joe Girardi is pushing him too hard lately, playing him too often at third base and not using the designated hitter spot or even giving A-Rod a day off every now and then?
A-Rod flat out said his struggles are “fatigue more than anything.” And when asked if he needs to DH more or get more days off, Rodriguez ended a long answer with “I don’t know . . . That’s not my decision.”
Said Rodriguez: “The big issue for me is the body and responding,” he said. “I can hit. I’m always going to be able to hit, but . . . there are some days that your body’s just not bouncing back the way I like it to.”
Before last night’s game, Girardi admitted A-Rod’s troubles might be caused by fatigue. Rodriguez has played in all 37 games since returning on May 8 from hip surgery, 34 at third base and three as the DH.
“We did push him a little bit,” Girardi said. “We played Tampa and the Red Sox and the Mets and we pushed him a little bit. Now there’s some scheduled days off. The most he’s going to play for a while is six in a row. I think he’s capable of doing that.”
