While the process of divorce is hard on both man, woman and child alike, there are certain circumstances to which the whole situation isn’t all that bad.
Take Cynthia Rodriguez for example, the soon to be ex-wife of MLB superstar Alex Rodriguez. She filed for divorce today in Miami, seeking primary custody of the kids as well as alimony. Now considering that A-Rod will be making well over $20 million a year for the next decade or so, I would say that Cynthia has played the cards just right on her wife-cheating, money-grubbing husband.

In an upcoming episode of YES Network’s YESterdays, Alex Rodriguez’s wife Cynthia regales us with tales of A-Rod’s less-than heroic off-field endeavors. According to Cynthia, Rodriguez fainted at the hospital while his wife was giving birth to the couple’s first child in 2004.
“The one nurse had a cold cloth on his head. The other nurse had the blood pressure on his arm. And my mother was like rubbing his back. And he is passed out on a couch. And I am there, in the middle of labor,” Cynthia Rodriguez told the TV show, which airs Wednesday night. “And really, I am not being paid much attention to besides the doctor and a couple of nurses. And he is there moaning. In between pushing, I am going, ‘Honey, are you OK?’ and ‘Are you breathing? Are you OK?’”
Is this the kind of man we want shattering baseball’s all-time home run record? A sniveling baby? Wait, I didn’t say that. A-Rod is much, much bigger than me. Plus I saw him hit one of the hugest homeruns of all time against my San Francisco Giants in San Francisco. I’m still stunned by it. Let him faint.
Also, why is this news? To borrow a line from myself last night while talking to a friend about the indifference I have about all-over-print clothing, “Who gives a shit?”
