If Yanks Win, Thank Kate, Blame Macy's

Omens abound in countdown to Game 5

(NEWSER) - With the Yankees sitting on a 3-1 lead heading into tonight's World Series Game 5, there's already plenty of credit and blame to go around. Should New York defeat the Phillies, give a cheer for actress and Alex Rodriguez galpal Kate Hudson, David Wells writes for the New York Post. "Kate is just a good-luck charm for Alex," writes Wells—yes, the former Yankee ace. "She's got a lot of hits in her, and that's a compliment, because of the fact she's a high-profile individual."

A-Rod Sheds Choke-Artist Rep

Onetime postseason washout comes through in, yes, the clutch

(NEWSER) - For years, the rap on Alex Rodriguez has been that despite his gaudy regular-season stats, he folded in the playoffs. His October performance nearly dispelled that rep, and his ninth-inning homer in last night's World Series Game 4 took him to a new level, Will Leitch writes: "He has his Legend Comes Up Huge In October (or November, anyway) Highlight."

A-Rod's Clutch Double Sparks 7-4 Game 4 Win

Damon's heads-up play drives Phillies to brink of elimination

(AP) - Alex Rodriguez hit a go-ahead, two-out double in the ninth inning off Brad Lidge and the Yankees beat the Phillies, 7-4, tonight in Philadelphia to claim a 3-1 lead in the World Series. Joba Chamberlain opened the door for the Phillies, yielding a homer to Pedro Feliz with two out in the eighth to tie the score at 4, but A-Rod, Johnny Damon, Jorge Posada, and Mariano Rivera pulled it out as the Yankees moved within one win of their elusive 27th championship.

A-Rod Sees Himself as Centaur

Ex-girlfriend spills to tabloid about his portraits

(NEWSER) - If ever-tolerant Philly fans show up to tonight's World Series game bearing images of centaurs, this might explain it: One of A-Rod's ex-girlfriends tells US Weekly that he's got "not one but two painted portraits of himself as a centaur." And, yes, they're hanging over his bed. Apparently new galpal Kate Hudson doesn't mind. "They love sex!" says another source. "They talk about it all day." More»

A-Rod (Finally) Hits 600th Home Run

At 34, he's the youngest to ever do it

(NEWSER) - You can stop holding your breath, world. Alex Rodriguez at long last hit his 600th home run today. It's been 12 games since Rodriguez hit his 599th round-tripper, a stretch that seemed even longer because of the hype surrounding the impending milestone. But it's probably unfair to complain too much, since he is the youngest player to ever hit 600. It's also happens to be exactly three years to the day since A-Rod's 500th homer. More»
