Everyone Leave A-Rod Alone! You’re Making Him Cry

Alex Rodriguez, the highest paid player in major league baseball, is a wimp. Or so newspapers all over the country this morning would have you believe. Apparently, when his wife was giving birth to their first born in 2004, Rodriguez fainted.

“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,” his wife, Cynthia Rodriguez, told the YES Network.

The shame does not end there. There’s more.

“And really, I am not being paid much attention to besides the doctor and a couple of nurses,” continued Cynthia Rodriguez. “And he is there moaning. In between pushing, I am going, ‘Honey, are you OK?’ and ‘Are you breathing? Are you OK?’”

And more.

“As tough and big as he seems, he is real wimpy around doctors or any type of medical situation. 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?’”

And, sadly, even more.

“The color came back to his face when I told him he could call my mom.”

For all his money and talent, Rodriguez is disliked by most fans outside New York. They say he is a phony. They say he “chokes” in pressure situations. They say he is greedy and doesn’t care about winning — his signing with the last place Texas Rangers in 2000 simply because they offered the most money is an often cited example.

And now, all because he passed out and moaned during the birth of his first born, they say he is a wimp.

Won’t you people leave the guy alone?

So what if he passed out while his wife was giving birth. Maybe he was sleepy. Did you ever consider that?

So what if he stays up until 3 AM every Friday night to watch Steel Magnolias and cry his eyes out. It would take a rock not to cry at that movie.

So what if he exfoliates his entire body twice a week. Some ladies like a guy who has softer skin than they do.

So what if he carries around a purse. It can hold all of his essentials. Besides, you try fitting eyeliner in a man’s wallet. It isn’t easy.

So what if he has A-Teen’s Dancing Queen on his iPod. The song is catchy.

You want to call A-Rod a wimp? Fine. Do whatever you like. I, for one, will not take part in such hurtful slander.

Alex Rodriguez is not a wimp. He is sensitive.

Also, he’s possibly a woman.

Don't have a photo next to your name? Want one? They're called Avatars. No, it has nothing to do with that James Cameron movie. No, I don't know why they're called that. Look, do you want one or not? Gosh, you're difficult.
