I finally got around to watching my DVD of Wednesday's night's YESterdays, in which Cynthia Rodriguez' dishes her already infamous description of A-Rod's squeamishness during the birth of their first child.
As I figured from reading the transcript, Cynthia's tone is playful and affectionate, and after an initial look of concern A-Rod himself warms up to the story and, smiling, confirms of his behavior/reaction, "It was terrible."
That doesn't make me less ticked off at myself for not posting the A-Rod-fears-doctors-and-blood-and-stuff information Monday (or mentioning it in the Tuesday newspaper), thus allowing the venerable Peter Abraham to post it Tuesday and reap perhaps 10,000 or more page views when Deadspin and other blogs linked to him.
Life lesson: Our time on Earth is short, and you can never get those page views back.

Look at the bright side, Best.
Think of how many page views you've drawn simply by being the neurotic, self-absorbed, cute-and-cuddly person you have been all these years.
Self-absorbed? Moi?
Neil,
What's your take on the Barbara Barker article about blow-up dolls in the clubhouse? In fact, I'd like to find out what all the male beat writers at Newsday think.
Care to touch that one?
I don't mind touching it (so to speak) but I figured Barbara handled it well and didn't see the need for my own article on it.
