Madonna/A-Rod relationship denier Roger Friedman helpfully pinpoints all the dates relevant to their relationship that does not exist. As if this entire story could not get more sensational, there's this bit about a, ahem, "groin pull": "What was A-Rod’s injury? A grade 2 groin pull that occurred during a game against Baltimore on the 20th. He went back to work, but exacerbated the injury to the point where he couldn’t play. It was so bad that Rodriguez actually didn’t rejoin the team until May 20, when the Yanks lost to Baltimore 12-1. That’s a long time for a superstar of Rodriguez’s caliber to be out of commission. Indeed, when A-Rod was injured, manager Joe Girardi was quoted in several interviews saying that he was 'surprised to learn the strain was so severe.'" [Fox 411]
