In the media's ongoing, unfair treatment of Alex Rodriguez, Sports Illustrated portrays him as an outcast on the first-place Yankees. Says A-Rod of the abuse he gets from the fans and media:

When people write [bad things] about me, I don't know if it's [because] I'm good-looking, I'm biracial, I make the most money, I play on the most popular team …

Believe me, I feel for ya, A-Rod. It's like that every day with me. Except replace "biracial" with "hung like a howitzer." Just remember: fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, haters gotta hate. You just keep doing what you do, buddy. Cashing checks and striking out with runners on in 9th.
