IS THE K-ROD AFFAIR HURTING THE YANKEES?

Kate Hudson sans blonde hair, was at the Yanks-Mets game last night at Citi-Field cheering on her favorite ballplayer, A-Rod.

Is this public affair hurting the Yankee team?

Let me answer it this way.

When Marilyn Monroe was cheering for Joe DiMaggio and the Yanks were winning pennant after pennant in the 50's I don't recall any of Joe D's teammates spreading rumors that the team was being "distracted".

A-Rod hit a moon shot home run last night into the right field stands and walked 3 times. So he did smirk a little while rounding 2nd base and just before he entered the dugout; so what? Isn't baseball supposed to be a game?

A-Rod looks happier than I can ever remember and when he is happy he can carry a team on his back. As a long time Yankee fanatic I say let him have his fun. I am so tired of watching the robotic Derek Jeter (a truly great player) who never shows any emotion lest he embarrass his parents who are in the stands.

With Melky and Cano doing their hi-five dancethon when either hits a homer and Swisher jumping into the stands between innings, the team is starting to loosen up and it is just what they need.

This edition has been playing choke-up baseball for the past 5 years in the post-seasons, so maybe these shenanigans will carry them to the promised land.

Kate and A Rod make a lot better match than most of the Cougar zaniness I have seen lately. They are 31 and 34 respectively, their kids are about the same age, and face it they look great together.

Back in the 50's and 60's, both the Mets and Yanks would have whole sections of stands where the players wives and girl friends sat together, so lets not blow this whole thing out of proportion. Baseball can be too long and too boring as it is played today. I say, let the cameramen liven it up and show us more shots of Kate Hudson.

Kate, I know you are a brunette for your latest movie role but couldn't you wear a blond wig? And wear something sexier too. You are the best steroid substitute A-Rod could possibly have found.
