It appears Yankees embattled third-baseman Alex Rodriguez had a chat with Barry Bonds about baseball’s home run record.
I most certainly can envision Alex Rodriguez sitting on the end of his finely crafted sofa, just feeling giddy about the 2015 season. He’s probably bursting at the seams for a chance to get an official at bat after sitting out for an entire year due to more of his stupidity.
Although, I can also see Rodriguez dreading the day when he has to report to camp as the media will pull no punches.

He better decide which outlook he’s going to take soon. After all, pitchers and catchers report to New York Yankees camp in just 10 days.
The Yankees brass sent out a press release today. It explained that A-Rod arranged a meeting, at his request, with the organization because he wanted to apologize for his actions the past couple of years.
Interestingly enough, his lawyer was also present at the meeting. But that’s neither here nor there. The point is, finally, the media whirlwind surrounding A-Rod moronic moves could now possibly and thankfully be coming to an end.
Let’s not forget though, this is Alex Rodriguez. Staying off the backpage is simply not in his DNA.
Barry Bonds now knows this all too well.
Rodriguez and Bonds worked out some together this offseason. Bonds is now letting us in on a little secret: A-Rod’s mindset is to collect ALL of that $30 million in home-run incentive money that was first drawn up during 2007 contract negotiations when a perceived “clean” A-Rod was still prancing around the diamond.
“He was funny,” Bonds said, according to theSan Francisco Chronicle. “He said, ‘I want to take your record.’ I said, ‘That’s OK. If that’s what you want to do, we’ve got a lot of work to do.’ I was excited he wanted to do it.”
Is this guy serious?
It’s fine and dandy if he wants to play out these awful final three years of his massive 10-year deal, but nobody, even Yankee fans want to hear a steroid-filled slugger even mention the words “breaking” and “home run record” in the same sentence.
Should human beings want to do the best they can, collecting all the money that is humanly possible? Of course. For A-Rod however, different rules are at play.
After the way the an has continuously lied to the world, and his employer, acting as if his entire audience was ignorant and gullible, the best thing for Rodriguez would be to crawl into a dark corner until Spring Training begins.
Keeping his mouth shut and swinging the bat as a designated hitter is the only course of action A-Rod needs to run.
