Get ready for ‘Bitch Tits’ signs wherever the Yankees go

The inspiration for A-Rods new nickname?

Fight Club's Robert Paulson character may have been the inspiration for A-Rod's nickname.

The Daily News obtained a copy of the book A-Rod, by Sports Illustrated’s Selena Roberts, and published many of the most lurid details this morning. A-Rod is set to be released on May 12. Among the the most provocative tidbits:

  • Rodriguez juiced in high school, a former teammate says.
  • As a third basemen on the Rangers, Rodriguez tipped off batters to incoming pitches during blowouts, so that they might help him if he slumped.
  • Anonymous Yankee staff say they suspected him of steroid and HGH use as late as 2005.
  • Yankee teammates nicknamed Rodriguez “BITCH TITS” in 2005, “after he put on 15 pounds in the off-season and seemed to develop round pectorals, a condition called gynecomastia that can be caused by anabolic steroids.”

Things in the Bronx are about to get really ugly.

A run down of the Yankee season so far:

  • January – Joe Torre and Tom Verducci release The Yankee Years, a chronicle of Torre’s time with the Yankees. The organization does not come across in a kind light.
  • February – Following a Selena Roberts Sports Illustrated story, A-Rod admits to using steroids smuggled into the U.S. by his cousin, from the Dominican Republic, before joining the Yankees.
  • March – A-Rod injures hip, gets surgery.
  • Early April – Yankees open new Stadium with the old Stadium still standing, even though team and City officials had originally promised that the old Stadium would be replaced with parks by opening day (parks slated for completion in two years). In addition, fans complain about obstructed views caused by the Mohegan Sun Sports Bar overlooking center field. The Yanks lose two of the first three games at home to the Cleveland Indians as home runs fly towards the right field stands at an incredible pace. The second loss includes a record-setting fourteen run second inning by the Indians.
  • Late April – The Yankees get swept by the Red Sox. A few days later, “Bitch Tits” is revealed.

    Bitch Tits…I can’t wait to see if ESPN or FOX will air those signs on tv. If the do show it, I wonder which word would be blured out, which is more vulgar? I say that’s your next poll.

    Just come up with other words for Bitch Tits such as A-Rod’s Watermelons, Knockers, etc…

    About Me

    When I was fifteen, my baseball coach condemned me to a stands-bound life. "Graham, you're a pretty good fielder," he said. "But unfortunately it's easier to teach kids how to field than it is to show them how to hit." Stung by this unceremonious end to my baseball career, I trained my crosshairs on his breed. Over time, I have come to realize that he isn't unique, American sports are full of coaches just like him....

    Recently, I have written weekly Yankee columns for the Bronx News Network blog, and articles for the Norwood News, a Bronx newspaper, as well as Sumter, SC's newspaper, The Item. I am currently a Master's candidate at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.

    Great Fiction

    It’s not written by me, but I like it a lot.
