Was A-Rod dishonest about his steroid usage? Manboobs say yes.

He had a profane nickname in the clubhouse a while back. Baseball’s highest-paid player, Alex Rodriguez, may have been using steroids much longer than he admitted a couple of months ago, the New York Daily News reports. They claim, via Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts (who broke the A-Rod steroid scandal in the first place) that Rodriguez was using as far back as high school and as recently as a Yankee. Rodriguez, in 2005, apparently carried a nickname around the clubhouse after he apparently grew manboobs, which may be a hint as to his steroid usage. Either way, it’s the NYDN, so take it with a grain of salt. source

7:20 a.m. Seven pounds. In Penn Station. Marie Boothe, in the subway station during rush hour, couldn’t wait any longer. “Forget the ambulance, forget everything else – I’m going to have the baby right here,” she recalled saying. So she started having it right there. Police officers on counter-terrorism duty were called in to help deliver Caesar Penn Boothe, whose name reflects the unusual circumstances of his birth. Aww, that’s the cutest thing we’ve ever heard related to the word terrorism! source

Their argument D.C.’s small, it’s boring, it’s overgentrified, it’s very dog-eat-dog, and the hip people brought in with the Obama administration aren’t really that hip. Jesus, who spit in their Wheaties? One fair admission, though: The Air & Space Museum is pretty cool. Thanks for noticing, guys. source

Our argument Of course D.C. sucks, guys! We can’t ever compare to Baltimore, NYC, Boston or Philly. That’s why you should never come here and hang out. I mean, lame people like Ted Leo and Ian MacKaye hang out here. No cred whatsoever. Excuse us while we drink our lattes in DuPont Circle and discuss policy. source
