In good spirits and largely controversy-free, Rodriguez said he is looking forward to the push for a 28th World Series championship after reporting to camp lighter, having shed about five pounds to drop his weight to 222.
His healing right hip, the one that required a March 2009 procedure that Rodriguez once feared might be career-threatening, was a major factor.
Rodriguez said that he visited with Dr. Marc Philippon, the Vail, Colo.-based specialist who performed the surgery, and Rodriguez was cleared to resume full baseball training during the winter.
“The last several years, I’ve probably been more 60-70 percent rehab and 30 percent training,” Rodriguez said. “This year he actually gave me the green light to go 100 percent training and get ready to play baseball.”

So we can file this under ‘Good things to come from this offseason’. It’s a small file thus far.

Hi, I’m Karl Hussong. I work at Home Depot. I watch you while you sleep. I’m 45 years old. I am married with 2 kids. My favorite band is AC/DC and I love the Yankees.

Hi I’m BadAssBillyCurtis a/k/a Kenny fucking Powers a/k/a Smokin Josh Pipes a/k/a Lazy VinnyRozza a/k/a Old Man Franks a/a Krazy Karl Hussong etc. I am 16 years old. I often masturbate to pictures of Justin Bieber, using an empty Clearasil container to catch my jizz. My favorite band is the Fresh Beat Band. I kind of like the Yankees but not really. I just enjoy talking about lumps, rat spines, finals, relocates etc. and try to get a reaction from people because in the real world I am an enormous loser and no one will be my friend.
Kim Last February 23, 2011 15:04
