Buy Or Don’t Buy

There was only one way 2009 could have gotten worse for Alex Rodriguez, and it just happened. From the NY Daily News:

A former Manhattan madam who supplied Eliot Spitzer with hookers also counted Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez as a customer - and found him so charming she dated him herself for free, former employees of the call-girl agency tell the Daily News.

In an e-mail exchange provided to The News by a former booker for Davis’ Wicked Models, Rodriguez purportedly told Davis on Nov. 17, 2006: “Thanks for setting me up with Samantha. She was gorgeous. But she is not you. When can I see you you are gorgeous . . .”

The exchange goes on:

Davis: “Hi Alex. You don’t want to see me. I’m no fun. lol. Just because your (sic) so sweet, here are some pics of me and I appreciate the compliments. Your (sic) a doll. Thanks, Kristin”

Rodriguez: “You have been playing hard to get for a year now, your (sic) killing me.”

So embarrassing! Apparently being the highest-paid player in baseball history means not having to know the difference between possessives and contractions. A lesson for kids thinking in following in A-Rod’s footsteps: When you’re emailing love notes to the madame you have a crush on, ALWAYS USE SPELL CHECK. You have no idea what anabolic steroids will do to your ability to read critically with an eye for detail.
