MIAMI - Alex Rodriguez's heartbroken wife Cynthia believes her hubby has been "brainwashed" by kabbalah-pushing pop icon Madonna and lured away from his family, an A-Rod confidant said.  In a bombshell interview with The Post, Dodd Romero — Rodriguez's former trainer and godfather to his two daughters who spent last week in Paris with Cynthia Rodriguez — said he and C-Rod believe the Yankee superstar has been gradually drawn away by Madonna's allure.  "Alex, God bless him, is lost," A-Rod's ex-pal lamented. "I think he got pulled in by the dark side, if you can say that nicely. He's totally brainwashed." "He'd be in the gym and if a Madonna video would come on, he'd go into a trance," Romero said.  And when A-Rod is driving in his car, he'll only listen to Madonna music, the trainer said.

First of all I love how the NY Post calls Cynthia Rodriguez C-Rod. I always do a double take when I read that and am like who the fuck are they talking about? Second of all this story isn't remotely surprising to me. I mean Arod just strikes me as somebody who would be susceptible to being brainwashed. He just has such low self confidence. It was probably a race between Madonna and Tom Cruise to see who could get to him first. Madonna flashed the pussy and it was game, set, match. Anyway I’ve said a lot of bad things in the past about the Red Sox ownership group and specifically the one eyed bandit, Larry Lucchino.    But I promise I will never criticize them again or say anything even remotely negative if they play “Material Girl” or “Like A Virgin” every time Arod comes up to the plate in a couple weeks at Fenway.   I don’t want this to happen.  It HAS to happen!   John Henry always wants to act so hip and funny and bang chicks half his age, well this is his chance.      I have ZERO confidence that they will get this done, but it’s a once and a lifetime type of opportunity.   As a side note I totally wish this story broke before I printed up our Mr. July Arod shirts.    “Material Girl” shirts would have been way cooler.

PS – Speaking of the Sox why is Joba Chamberlain allowed to throw at Youk whenever he wants?   He should have 100% been kicked out of last nights game.   There is no way that was an accident.  You have to know the history there.    Joba can’t get Youk out so he throws at him.   Total pussy move.
