Not A-Rod and Cameron Diaz Too!?!

Never to be outdone by teammate/nemesis Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and his actress girlfriend, Cameron Diaz, have apparently split up too. Earlier this season, Jeter and Minka Kelly (Lyla Garrity of Friday Night Lights, hot chick in the new Charlie's Angels) called it quits after three years. So it only made sense for A-Rod and Diaz to also break it off...

The couple, who began dating in February of last year, rarely spoke publicly about their romance, but was never shy when it came to being photographed on their many beach getaways and intense workouts together.

So what happened? A source told Us that the pair's work ethic was to blame.

Diaz, I assume, is hard at work being goofy on talk shows and trying to not be so rough looking. Actually, IMDB says she has 2012 movies Gambit (nothing to do with the awesome Cajun X-man) and What to Expect When You're Expecting coming out in 2012.

Rodriguez has battled injuries this season and has a .284/.367/.475 line in 390 plate appearances. He was having his best defensive year at third base with a 10.8 UZR but it's hard to trust one outlying season after six years in the red. The split should allow him to focus on getting healthy for the post season and finding a more man-ish looking buff blond lady friend.

Aww, they'll always have popcorn in Dallas.

Lunatic Tried To Confront A-Rod On Field

How did I miss this story? I take pride in covering the hard hitting baseball stories like a 300-pound drunk Mets fan falling on a lady. So I apologize for being late on this one. Apparently, the man who rushed onto the field Monday night at Yankee Stadium is a complete whackjob. The man decided that Monday's game was a good time to approach Alex Rodriguez about his relationship with Cameron Diaz. I'm sure it was going to be a very pleasant, well thought out exchange. From the Toronto Sun...

Grim LeRogue -- who legally changed his named from Joe Rogan -- was tackled by security guards after running from the stands and on to the field during the Yankees playoff game against the Texas Rangers.

According to the New York Post, the 33-year-old Bronx native was carrying photos of Rodriguez with an X drawn over his face, a gun pointed at his head and the message: "You have to go bud, you've ruined too many of our white queens."

Sources tell the publication LeRogue has an obsession with the infielder's on-off girlfriend Diaz and held a picture of the actress with the inscription "We will be together soon" during the stunt.

This story is so delightful, I'm considering printing out a copy and framing it. The name change to Grim LeRogue is a pretty good sign of some mental unstableness. But Cameron Diaz being one of "our white queens?" Unless our boy Grim hasn't seen a movie made after The Mask, I'm not sure he can be rehabilitated. He also had a picture of Osama bin Laden with the phrase "I will serve you" and a picture of Whitney Houston that he titled "Whitney Bin Laden." So at least he's an equal opportunity psychopath.

If Grim ever gets out of the Bronx's Lincoln Hospital, where he was taken for a psychiatric evaluation, I really hope he gets 10 minutes of A-Rod's time to plea his case. I'm willing to bet this guy has invented some words that I need to hear.
