		<description>I think the &quot;Stray-Rod&quot; scandal must have been legit, because there&#039;s no way they would have paid a stripper to reveal that Rodriguez likes &quot;she-men&quot;. That tidbit was enough to convince me the whole thing was real.</description>

		<description>I think A-Rod&#039;s image turnaround has three main components:



1. The clutch homers at the start of the season.



2. His decision to stop explaining his &quot;emotions&quot; to the press.



3. Last but not least, getting caught on camera with that blonde, and having his wife then show up at the Stadium with a certain profanity clearly visible on her shirt.



Clearly, the goody two shoes, obsessed with image, unable to hit the big hit A-Rod is no more. It almost seems a bit TOO convenient, if you know what I mean...makes me wonder if the &quot;Stray-Rod&quot; scandal was really legit.</description>
