Joe Torre Says A-Rod Has ‘Single White Female-Like Obsession With’ Derek Jeter

Nothing ever said about Alex Rodriguez will surprise us. That’s what happens when you tuck an Ed Hardy shirt into your jeans. So when passages from former Yankees manager, and current Dodger skipper, Joe Torre’s book started leaking, we couldn’t help but get all giddy at the prospect of hearing what weirdness and skeletons the third baseman had in hiding in his closet. No, like literally skeletons in his closet. We always fancied Rodriguez as a Jamie Gumb kinda guy. It rubs the eye black on its skin or else it gets the hose again.. Unfortunately what’s come out so far isn’t as much damming as it what we know—that Rodriguez is a self-absorbed Prima (Ma)Donna who has trouble with regular things like getting a cup of coffee and dealing with the media.

“I said to him, ‘Alex, do me a favor, at least go get a cup of coffee by yourself instead of sending someone to get you a cup of coffee.’ A little while later, he goes out of his way to find me. He’s carrying a cup of coffee. ‘Look, Skip,’ he said. ‘I got my own cup of coffee!’ That wasn’t even the point. It was just an example. The point was just be one of the guys. He didn’t get it.”

The book says that although Rodriguez desperately wanted to be accepted by his new teammates after coming to the Yankees New York Yankees from Texas in 2004, he turned them off with his showboating, his insistence on having a clubhouse valet, and his phony nature when dealing with the media.

Jesus, when you’re so arrogant that you can piss off the locker room with the highest paid salaries in the league… you know it’s bad. Torre also noted that Rodriguez had a “Single White Female” complex with Jeter, which is funny and all until the police finds Minka Kelly dead with a Christian Louboutin heel in her head.
