A-Rod is Too Fatigued For Baseball, But Not For Partying

Like I mentioned in Short Hops, Alex Rodriguez was benched by the Yankees yesterday citing fatigue. Well, that may be true when it comes to playing baseball, but tiredness was not going to stop A-Rod from partying with girlfriend Kate Hudson.
