Red Sox starting pitcher Ryan Dempster has been suspended five games for throwing at Alex Rodriguez.
A-Rod should call a truce, pinky swear, wear a friendship ring, or whatever Hal, Hank, and Cash want him to do.
This ugly mess only appears to be getting uglier. According to ESPN, Alex Rodriguez's representatives are planning on filing a medical malpractice lawsuit against Yankees team doctor Chris Ahmad.
The Yankees had the night off Monday, and were much in need of it emotionally after a hotly-contested game with the Red Sox.
"The letter was nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt," Rodriguez's lawyer, Joseph Tacopina said in a statement.
The most elastic scandal in sports history, A-Rod's trysts and turns seem to reach its nadir every week - before sinking deeper into infamy.
For today's By The Numbers, I thought I would take a look at the eight sluggers in history who have, thus far, clubbed 600 or more home runs.
Alex Rodriguez's lawyer said Major League Baseball's evidence against the Yankees' slugger is so weak that he shouldn't serve even one inning of his 211-game suspension.
Despite all of his baggage, A-Rod has become a rallying figure for the Bombers on the field and in the dugout.
Only in the world of A-Rod can so many jaw-dropping stories keep coming at you like baseballs being fired from a pitching machine. Bigger stories every day? A-Rod was right for a change. What the heck is happening tomorrow?
Cashman said when he does speak to A-Rod, it is very brief and doesn't have much to say to him.
In an interview with the New York Times, lawyer Joseph Tacopina blasted the Bronx Bombers and Major League Baseball for conspiring to nullify A-Rod's huge contract.
A-Rod has sought the services of lawyer Joseph Tacopina in an attempt to fight back. Tacopina claims that the Yankees played Rodriguez last October without informing him that he was carrying a torn labrum.
The huge hits are even more than the Yankees hoped for when they got the good-natured Soriano in a trade with the Chicago Cubs in late July.
Royals infielder Miguel Tejada has been suspended 105 games by Major League Baseball for violating its joint drug program, one of the longest suspensions ever handed down.
Alfonso Soriano drove in four more runs and Andy Pettitte avoided his first-inning troubles to lead New York to a 10-3 victory over the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox on Friday night.
Alex Rodriguez's camp "obtained unredacted versions" of documents published in a bombshell Miami New Times report and leaked them to Yahoo! Sports, according to "60 Minutes."
A-Rod makes it impossible for anyone but his lawyers to defend him. And they do so because he pays them. What's your excuse?
It's only getting worse for Alex Rodriguez, and it's not likely to get better for a long time. Rodriguez's reputation is being destroyed further with every accusation that hits the news cycle.
The PED crucible, which we hoped would be microscopic by now, just won't go away. It's turned into a twisted game show of "Name That Cheat."
"It was not difficult for me at all," Selig said. "I spent many, many hours thinking about it, trying to be fair, trying to be logical and rational. I wouldn't second-guess a thing at all. I thought it was eminently fair."
Adding to the intrigue: Lackey is scheduled to start Saturday's game against Rodriguez and the Yankees in Boston.
Chris Nelson hit his first two home runs of the season, including a grand slam against his former team, to send C.J. Wilson and the Los Angeles Angels past the New York Yankees, 8-4, on Thursday.
Don't look now, but the Bombers are creeping up in the standings with Alex Rodriguez back in the middle of the lineup and Alfonso Soriano absolutely crushing the ball.
