A-Rod Lost $3M

In the sucks-to-be-him department, the New York Post is reporting that New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez lost $3M in a real estate deal that looks like it is tied to the D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Alex Rodriguez struck out swinging when he sold his bayfront Florida estate for nearly one-third less than he paid for it.

A-Rod and ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis Rodriguez purchased the one-acre, six-bedroom property for $12 million in December 2004 but only got $8.5 million for it recently from an unidentified buyer, according to The Miami Herald.

Cynthia has moved to a rental in Miami Beach’s Palm Island, the paper reports.

The Yankee slugger, meanwhile, rents a $30,000-a-month, two-bedroom apartment on the 35th floor of 15 Central Park West.

I’d feel sorry for him, his loss, his divorce, Kate Hudson dumping him after the World Series, etc., only if he was someone that you could really feel sorry for.

For many reasons, now that Barry Bonds is no longer in the game (I guess we can’t say he retired), A-Rod is the player of this generation who least captures the heart and soul of the every-man fan.
