A-Rod Blonde Spotted With Him in Several Cities

The New York Post is reporting that the mysterious blonde photographed along side Yankees star Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) entering a Toronto strip club has been seen with him in Dallas, Seattle, Las Vegas and Florida over the last couple months, either with the same blonde or someone who looks like her.

While A-Rod has refused to comment on Wednesday's New York Post story, that paper is also reporting that his wife Cynthia was spotted leaving their Park Avenue apartment with several bags in tow. The couple were married in 2002 and have a 2 1/2-year-old daughter.

Meanwhile, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter are the Majors' top overall vote-getters so far for the 78th All-Star Game on July 10 in San Francisco, but the big question is whether traditional dominance by Yankees in this annual voting process will be affected by that club's troublesome first half.
The first American League balloting update was released Wednesday by Major League Baseball, and it reflects more than a month of decision-making by fans through the Monster All-Star Online Ballot at MLB.com and at the ballparks.

The Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-5 Wednesday night.  It was the Yankees’ first victory in a week, and it snapped a five-game losing streak. They remain tied for last place, and they will enter this weekend’s series at Boston trailing the Red Sox by 13 ˝ games in the American League East.

“This lifted a real cloud off us, especially with the off day tomorrow (Thursday),” Manager Joe Torre said. “To have to carry that through the off day and into Boston would have been difficult. Hopefully, with the way we have our pitching lined up, we can start competing and have some good results.”

The New York Yankees odds to win the American League pennant remain around +450 or close to 5 to 1 odds (with a payout of $450 for every $100 bet should they win).  The Detroit Tigers have the same odds to win while Cleveland had odds of +300; the Los Angeles Angels had odds of +350 and the Boston Red Sox were the favorite to win at +140 odds.  (see odds betting on Major League Baseball here)
