10.02.08 OMIGOD A-ROD AND TOM BRADY! OMG OMG OMG!

The Yankees spent the final weekend of the 2008 season in Boston, and a two-hour-plus rain delay supposedly ate away at Alex Rodriguez’s nerves.  Why?  Because the Yankees slugger allegedly had a date lined up with injured Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.  I am NOT shitting you.

“A-Rod was running around the clubhouse asking everyone, ‘Are we gonna play?’ ‘Are we rained out?’ ‘Are we postponed?’ Every few minutes he’d come around and ask his teammates - or anyone else who was around - the same thing.”

Word is, Alex was in a big hurry to bolt Fenway because he had a dinner date with Brady! “He was all excited,” said our spy. “You know he’s a big star (expletive) anyway and he was all worked up over his ‘date’ with Tommy.”

Just to recap here: the highest-paid baseball player in history, a certain first-ballot lock for the Hall of Fame with penchants for strip clubs, muscular women, and postseason no-shows, was nervous about going on a date with the NFL’s top quarterback, a three-time Super Bowl champion/men’s magazine cover model dating the world’s richest supermodel.  I’ve been waiting for this day all my life.

Okay, everyone.  Try to stay calm.  First things first.  We’re going to need one of those couple nicknames, something mind-numbingly stupid that the glossy rags can use ad nauseam.  Like A-Tom.  Or Bradriguez.  Oh yeah.  Bradriguez.  That’s gonna get some mileage.  You better f’n credit me for that, US Weekly!
