Madonna is A-Rod's 'Outside Distraction'

While his wife Cynthia Rodriguez is sleeping with at Lenny Kravtiz's Paris apartment, and his girlfriend Madonna is desperately clinging to her crumbling marriage, A-Rod is on New York City's 'it' list. 

The Yankee baseball star left his New York apartment on Thursday to find herds of paparazzi and balcony-perched spectators to answer to.  The question being, of course: 'are you having an affair with Madonna?' 

The affair gossip is so crayzay lately it has even started effing up the Yankee's performance, according to the team's owner Hank Steinbrenner, who blamed 'outside distractions.'  'We've got to start hitting. It's getting ridiculous,' he whined on Wednesday. 

Apparently Hank missed the memo that A-Rod is hitting it.  Precisely...home runs all over Madonna the place.

Didn't Madonna see what happened to Jessica Simpson when she 'distracted' Tony Romo from his game in Texas?  Diva better watch out or she's gonna be New York's big BAD apple one of these days...
