Teammates, Madonna skip A-Rod's post-game party

Alex Rodriguez's teammates must wish they could divorce him too. "He's become a huge distraction with the Madonna fiasco," a source told Page Six. "It's always all about him." That explains why none of his fellow Yankees went to the All-Star bash he hosted at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club Monday night.
Instead, his mommy, Lourdes, and his new best friends, Guy Oseary and Ingrid Casares, were by his side in a corner booth as he threw back shots. And Casares was then spotted leaving A-Rod's Park Avenue pad yesterday afternoon. Reps from Berk Communications, who'd slapped Madonna's name on their tip sheet for the event, kept insisting she was on her way, but she never showed. Instead, A-Rod was entertained by big-busted hotties who shimmied to Material Girl tunes and desperately tried to make eye contact with him.
Over at Marquee, the more likable Derek Jeter threw a bash filled with pals like Billy Crystal and Michael Jordan. Jeter also brought his latest fling, Minka Kelly. They came in separately, but a spy said they were "very much together on the dance floor."
Meanwhile, Mets third baseman David Wright hosted a Vitamin Water party at Hudson Terrace, where Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Paul Rudd and Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain listened to a midnight performance by 50 Cent

I like it when players make game used items available for fans. That sounds like a little much though.

Forum Readers-
As many of you know, I lived in Seattle for 10 years and have a very good friend who workls for the Mariners. This individual has first-hand experience with Alex and has told me that he was DESPISED by the Mariners brass, team mates and by just about every player in the game.

I indicated that this is hard to believe, and why is this the case. My friend said that he is selfish and only cares about his image, 24/7. He has no interest in doing anything for charity, but does it strictly as an image builder. His team mates hated him in Seattle as he tried to be the center of attention and other players in the game hate him because he tries to get as much camera time as possible. Likewise, he now tries to copy Jeter's every move (i.e., Jeter comes to the top stai in the dugout to watch a homerun, Arod tries to do the same.

On a personal note, he makes me want to puke. Here is a guy making $$millions, and he has to resort to selling every possible piece of clothing and broken bat he can? Bats, hats, running shoes, sliding pants....enough already! When he was with the M's, he whored himself there too and ordered 100 extra game ready jerseys strictly for resale purposes.

FYI

Re: Why is Arod really hate by so many people?

I like Alex alot as a ballplayer he just tries too hard in New York.My thinking is he needs too get out of New York and go play elsewhere.But his salary is a huge issue.

Agree. I believe arod is good for New York, but New York isn't good for arod. Maybe it is the money. He's under a microscope every at bat. There are so many other star players not performing to par daily, but not everyone is watching their every move, like arod. I do agree, post season performance consistenly stinks, so you can't argue that issue. I only hope the best for him this coming season.

IMHO - I think Yankee fans expect players on the team to act like Don Mattingly did on and off the field - Arod doesn't even come close......IMHO......Jim

Jim, I agree. His ability is one thing. His actual performance (or lack of)and personal conduct is another. Thanks for all the comments! I'm ready for baseball season to begin.

Re: Why is Arod really hate by so many people?

I love how Yankee fans love to put it all on one player...Arod!

wait a minute yankees fans putting it on one player??????

All you sked abut was one plaer you didnt ask about the team!!!


AND YES HE IS ONE PLAYER THAT CAUSED A LOT OF HARM THEN GOOD

SHALL I REPEAT - HE WAS #6 IN OVERALL BASEBALL TO HIT BALLS INTO DOUBLE PLAYS - JETERS NOT #6 CANOS NOT 36 CABRERAS NOT #6 SHALL I GO ON????

GUESS WHAT AROD IS THE #3 BATTER WHICH WILL AUTOMATICALLY PUT HIM IN MOST KEY SITUTATIONS SO YES HE IS THE MAIN BATTER THAT SCREWED UP!!

now if you want to discuss pitching yes we had mostly poor picthing but anytime we had that one chance for a batter to turn around that one game when our pitchers was doing bad GUESS WHO WAS UP TO BAT AND HIT THE BALL INTO A DOUBLE PLAY!!!

Re: Why is Arod really hate by so many people?

Wow! Pretty rough! I agree he definately tries to hard to be liked, and that does turn people off. Bush-league??? Insincere?? I'll disagree with that. Hope he never plays on a team that wins a ring?? Now that's just hateful.

His slapping the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove in the 2004 ALCS then standing on 2nd base doing the jogging motion as if he had just been running was as insincere as it gets. And slapping the ball out in the first place is the definition of bush league. Let me ask you this - could you see Jeter doing that?

Of course not. He's not bush-league like Slappy McArod is.

Re: Why is Arod really hate by so many people?

I`ve always liked the guy, as a Player. Until recently he`s done pretty well. I`ve watched him Choke a few Times (against the Angels) in the Playoffs!
While I enjoyed Vladi & the Angels Beat up on the Yankees, (or anyone else) I`m not sure the Criticism is worthwhile.

Maybe Arod simply needs a "Slumpbuster" (LOL) or whatever. I was hoping the Angels would pick him up. I`d take him on my favorite Team anyday.

You`ll never do enough for the Average New Yorker...

If he sucks so bad, how come a GOOD Gamer costs so much?
