'Embarrassing' A-Rod photos hit the web

I'm a Yankees fan but wtf @ the photos, I guess the Redsox fans will start calling him 'gay-rod' from now on.

C'mon, vogue, Alex.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, Christian scripture insists. In this photo shoot for Details magazine that apparently has just fluttered onto news stands, Alex Rodriguez skips the middle man and gets right to loving himself in a number of pouty poses.

Some quick observations/critiques:

• Is he practicing kissing himself in the mirror? You'd think he'd have that down by now.

• Can't afford sheets, eh? Oh On his salary?

• I hope the tire-as-prop is an ode to hanging a tire from a tree in the back yard and using it as a pitching target; otherwise, it's a mosquito hazard.

• Way too much eye makeup.

• I think I see Selena Roberts hiding in the closet!

No matter what readers here — or on Deadspin and the Sporting Blog — make of these shots, these pics are only the second-most embarrassing controversy for A-Rod to confront this year. He brought both on himself. Lucky for Alex, he's off healing from hip surgery and doesn't have to address this with reporters. Or with Derek Jeter, who would have done the Details shoot classier, sassier and sexier — no questions asked — for photog Steven Klein.

The accompanying article, written by Jason Gay, contains some key insights:

• A-Rod claims to ride the Subway to work ("The fans love it, I love it").

• A-Rod worries about revealing which Madonna song is his favorite ['m betting on"Beautiful Stranger"]

• He loosened up for the shoot with shots of Patron.

• He wears a Kabbalah bracelet — an indication that Madonna ain't far away.

• A-Rod does not order food at dinner.

meh they really arent as bad as i thought they would be

Well yeah, I agree the pictures are not that bad if you respect fashion photos but for most people the pictures are flat out gay and I don't think the pictures project the right image for him especially after the whole roid bs he’s went through.

Those photos are nothing to be embarrassed about. Fuck.

i don't see anything wrong. seems he's confident in himself and who he is and doesn't mind doing it.

sorta like baron davis and steve nash :)
nash has some cool moves

If he took those pics in those poses at home with his own camera on a self timer than he really would have something to be embrassed about, but since it was a Details magazine photoshoot, no biggie.

The photos could be worse but he's still a bush league player.

There not that bad, but they are pretty funny

I don't even get these pictures, they're just ghetto looking. I guess that's what they're trying to portray.

that still doesn't change how women feel about him
why the fuck does he care what guys think about him anyways?

...oh...

lol if u were paid millions to take photos like that u would too.

gay-rod part was funny haha... but those pics are whatever... go look on 3 road for "gayer" hongers all day
