		<description><![CDATA[We all know the Post is WAY off on this story as it should have read, A-Rod attempted to throw a ball to a good looking guy behind the dug-out but once again his throw was off target and ended up in the lap of an unsuspecting hot chick!  Please retire and go play Poker with some professionals who will clean you out after a couple of years and then we can have the pleasure of listening to you whine that you&#039;re broke and all alone....Go Tigers!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We don&#039;t find love, love finds us. I met my wife in a similar way. (passed a note asking for a date) It&#039;s not like A-Rod took a grounder, pulled out a pen and then went to flirt between outs. He was benched and had nothing else to do. And it seems he was trying to hit a double...can you dig it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry, I have to disagree.  I don&#039;t ask every attractive girl for their phone number, and I certainly have never hit on a paying customer at my job.

The thing is that he has to have enough avenues to find women that he doesn&#039;t need to do it during a playoff game.  It isn&#039;t the end of the world, nor does it have a strong correlation to his struggles.  But, at the same time, have som decorum and save it for another time.  Does anyone believe he has so few opportunities to meet women that he just HAD to take that opportunity?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ARod has already earned nearly a half of a billion dollars.  He lives in the finest mansions.  He drives the finest cars.  Wears the finest clothes and eats the best, most freshest foods.  Six months a year, he sleeps until he&#039;s rested and does the things only he decides he wants to do.  He&#039;ll never worry for money for the rest of his life.  And, he&#039;s got his ring.   Oh, and he f@cks pretty much any woman he really wants to.

In the face of all that, it seems pretty pointless to bash him when, in the end, our criticism can&#039;t have any effect on his quality of life.]]></description>
