Last week sucked for Alex Rodriguez. First it came out that Rodriguez had been having an affair with Madonna, then we found out that his wife was in Paris with her "friend" Lenny Kravitz, then we found out that Rodriguez and his wife are not only seperated, but are filing for divorce. Damn. I stubbed my toe on a door this week and I was pissed but now it doesn't seem so bad.

A-Rod had every reason to let his off field distractions stop him from performing on the field, but the Yankees were playing the Red Sox this weekend and he plays in New York. If you put on a Yankees uniform, with those rabid fans, you have to perform no matter what or else you will be crucified. It looks like he's finally starting to understand that (if you don't include the postseason).

He hit a milestone home run during their 5-4 win over the Red Sox yesterday. The home run was the 536th of his career which ties him with Mickey Mantle for 13th on the all time list and the fact that he plays in New York makes it a little more special.

"Even one of the grounds crew guys told me tonight, 'Mickey was my hero, you tied my hero today.' And I get that so much with Mickey Mantle, him being a Yankee, it's very special."

Congrats to A-Rod on the milestone, now he's gotta deal with that other thing.

ESPN reported this weekend that CC Sabathia is on the move. The Brewers and the Indians have agreed in principle to a deal that would send last years AL Cy Young award winner to the Brew Crew.

The Brewers and the Cleveland Indians agreed in principle to a deal for the reigning AL Cy Young on Sunday, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. The deal is contingent on paperwork being finished.

Cleveland would get minor league outfielder Matt LaPorta, who is hitting .288 with 20 homers and 66 RBIs in 84 games for Double-A Huntsville, and others. The other players do not include top prospects Alcides Escobar or Mat Gamel, according to the Journal Sentinel.

A source told ESPN Insider Keith Law the deal does include pitcher Rob Bryson, who is 3-2 with 4.25 ERA this season with low-A affiliate West Virginia. Pitcher Zach Jackson, from Triple-A affiliate Nashville, and a fourth player to be named later round out the package, according to the Journal Sentinel.

This is all but done and they've said that it will be officially announced today so we will see. This deal will completely change the look of NL Central.

Right now the Brewers are 3.5 games behind the Cubs in the central but the addition of an ace like Sabathia will make them much stronger contenders. With Ben Sheets and CC Sabathia as their 1-2 punch, this will be a very dangerous team, especially if they are able to reach the postseason. They have't made the playoffs since 1982 so it is long overdo for them to make a postseason run.

I've seen some pretty weird plays in major league baseball over the years (many of them involving Manny Ramirez), but this one takes the cake and the fan's expression with the arrow pointed at him says it all.

During the Yankees game yesterday with the Red Sox at Yankees stadium, Kevin Youkilis hit the ball to left field at Johnny Damon who we thought made the catch but not quite.

He actually snowconed the ball, nailed the wall, the ball popped out of his glove and then rested on the top of the wall for a full two seconds before finally falling back into the field of play. The play resulted in both the runners who were on base scoring and Youkilis ending up on third but there was worse news for the Yankees than the runs.

Johnny Damon hurt his shoulder and is out indefinitely. What a crazy course happenings. Here is the play

Albert Pujols honored America on July 4th by hitting his 300th career home run in the Cardinals game against the Cubs. Too bad it was the Cardinals only run of the game.

Pujols reached the milestone at the tender age of 28 years and 170 days old. He is the fifth youngest to accomplish that. His team could've used some help though. They lost to the Cubs 2-1.

The Mets all star shortstop Jose Reyes and former Met great Keith Hernandez had to be separated Sunday night after the two got into an altercation that nearly turned violent according to the New York Post. Team sources described the incident as "very heated" and said that it seemed like they were about to come to blows.

The rift started after Keith Hernandez (who is one of the teams play by play commentators) made comments that the team needs to stop babying Jose Reyes after he threw another temper tantrum. He made an error on a throw to first base and threw down his glove afterwards to which Hernandez said:

"Well, he's got to get over that," Hernandez said at the time, according to one transcript of the broadcast. "Enough babying going on now. He's a grown man. He's been around a long enough time. Take off the kid gloves."

Jose's been known to throw a lot of temper tantrums on the field and even more so this year since the Mets have been playing so bad but this is causing a lot of issues in New York. It was just a couple weeks ago that Jose got into it with his manager Jerry Manuel over another tantrum he threw.

Both Jose and Keith say that they got their points across and that it is behind them.

What do you think? Is Jose a crybaby or is he justified in being angry?

So maybe we will finally get to the bottom of this, or maybe it will just continue and get more and more annoying. I really don't know but either way, ESPN reported today that the syringes and other steroid paraphernalia that Brian McNamee submitted to the federal agents will test positive for Roger Clemens DNA.

ESPN got word of this from a brief filed in court by McNamee's lawyers:

The paraphernalia, including syringes and bloodied gauze pads, "will test positive for Clemens's DNA," the brief asserts. "Once the DNA results are revealed, there will be little dispute about who is telling the truth."

Is this over? or just beginning?

So during last nights Padres/Rockies game, Padres catcher Michael Barrett swung at a pitch and he didn't quite get all of it. In fact he got just enough of it to make the ball ricochet off his bat and hit him right in the shnoz.

That sucks but I'll take that any day over this or this.

Thanks to the Fight ins for this one.

Bad news came out today about the status of Alex Rodriguez and his wife Cynthia Rodriguez. Only a few months after having their second daughter, the couple is separating or other words, A-Rod got dumped.

This comes a couple days after all of the rumors swirled of Alex Rodriguez and Madonna having and affair. They have both denied it but who knows if this actually has something to do with it. Something tells me we will be getting to the bottom of this soon.

From the NY Daily News:

Yankee star Alex Rodriguez and his wife, Cynthia, have split after about three months of problems in their marriage, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Daily News Wednesday.

"It's true," the source said of A-Rod's separation from his wife of five years. "They've been having problems for about three months."

According to their "source" the couple has been having problems for the last 3 months.  Not only that but according to rumors shes been cheating on A-Rod with Lenny Kravitz. I don't know if this is true or not because it comes from Perez Hilton so it has to be taken with a grain of salt sugar but either way, it must have sucked to be A-Rod this week. Maybe that huge contract he got last year will help him ease some of the pain or at least pay for some shots.

Coincidentally, A-Rod, Madonna and Kravitz all share the same manager, Guy Oseary. Thats a messed up love triangle... or if add his wife, it's a disgustingly muscular love square.

Anyway, with all this talk about A-Rod, he joins a not so exclusive club. Every crazy athlete has slept with Madonna. Jose Canseco, Dennis Rodman, Charles Barkley...etc. As I recall, didn't Rodman's problems start right after he started dating Madonna. Before that he was a soft spoken, normal guy. Then he slept with Madonna and just went completely crazy and at one point showed up in a wedding dress to mary HIMSELF! A-Dog better be careful. I don't think the baby-boss will like it too much if he turns up in a dress.
