With no fans, smiles or any support mechanism in sight, the Philadelphia Phillies returned from losing the World Series to the New York Yankees last night and moped silently as a team back into their New York hotel.

This may be the saddest thing you'll see all day.

Having a wildly impressive postseason really has its perks -- and yesterday in New York, it got Alex Rodriguez out of a traffic violation.

A-Rod's driver was this close to getting a ticket for blocking traffic in front of Serafina, but once the cop was told whose car it was -- and saw the group of teenagers standing by to get their hero's autograph -- the ticket book quietly disappeared.
Tonight, we'll see if A-Rod can make the Angels vanish just as easily.

Don't blame us for the nickname...
According to a brand new report from the person who broke the original A-Rod steroid story a few months ago, some of A-Rod's Yankees teammates called him "Bitch Tits" in 2005 -- because he allegedly developed man boobies from steroids.
According to Selena Roberts, "Bitch Tits" didn't stop using the 'roids back when he was on the Rangers -- as he stated publicly -- but cheated all the way to NY. Roberts claims in 2005, A-Rod's teammates noticed "he put on 15 pounds in the offseason which included round pectorals, a condition called gynecomastia that can be caused by anabolic steroids." In other words -- dude had bitch tits.
Another fun fact from Roberts' new report: She claims A-Rod was hated at Hooters because he only tipped 15 percent.

Alex Rodriguez is a liar and a cheater and he ruined the game of baseball -- but even he is allowed to sue over a real estate deal gone south.

We just turned up a lawsuit in which Alex Rodriguez sued Ryan Investments to get his $1 million deposit back on a house he was supposed to buy. A-Fraud claims he had every right to back out of the deal, since Ryan Investments didn't close the deal on time.
A-Rod and Cynthia (he was still with her when he made the deal back in November 2007) were buying the house for $15 mil -- it eventually sold to someone else a few months back for just under $12 mil.
So here's the mystery: Did A-Rod cancel because the deal didn't close on time or because his marriage was unraveling and bachelors don't need that much space?

Following in Madonna's "Sex" book footsteps, A-Rod posed for this narcissistic, A-Rod on A-Rod fantasy pic in a new spread for Details.

That strange sound you hear is a combination of Mets fans laughing and Yankees fans cringing at the same time.

Next stop on the Alex Rodriguez Apology Tour -- his own family.

A-Fraud met up with ex-wife Cynthia at a P.F. Chang's in Tampa on Sunday.
No press conference required.

Jose Canseco has sold out everyone in his professional life, for profit and, seemingly, with glee. So knock us over with a feather when he was mum yesterday on the A-Rod steroid scandal.
Jose -- the guy who first ratted A-Rod out -- said it wasn't the appropriate time to comment, but that people could read his second book. Again, knock us over with a feather.

Alex Rodriguez just apologized to his teammates for the nasty performance-enhancing drugs scandal he's now embroiled in -- but dude's quivering lip was distracting.

It's simple math, really -- $3.9 million is greater than a tarnished legacy.
Everything is still on for Friday's ceremony at the University of Miami to name the new baseball field Alex Rodriguez Field. Lying Liar Field was apparently too cumbersome.
Although A-Roid didn't actually go to UM, he has been close to the program and the entire Miami community and donated $3.9 mil back in 2002. A rep for the school tells us "We are moving forward with the event. The donation was announced at a press conference on Oct. 10, 2002."
In this economy, nobody is about to give back money based on principle.

Alex "The Fraud" Rodriguez just 'fessed up to taking performance-enhancing drugs while playing for the Texas Rangers during a three-year period beginning in 2001.

Cheater Rodriguez told ESPN's Peter Gammons, "When I arrived in Texas in 2001, I felt an enormous amount of pressure. I needed to perform, and perform at a high level every day."
Liar Rodriguez continued, "Back then, [baseball] was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young, I was stupid, I was naïve. I wanted to prove to everyone I was worth being one of the greatest players of all time."
Ruiner of Sports Rodriguez also said, "I did take a banned substance. For that, I'm very sorry and deeply regretful."
Blah, blah, blah cheater.

In 2003 Alex Rodriguez posted high marks on nearly every important test: MVP, American League home run title, and ... anabolic steroids!
According to a Sports Illustrated report, A-Rod joined the ranks of 104 other MLB players that year who also tested positive. But back in '03 there were no penalties for a positive result.
For now, there has been no comment from A-Rod, the Yankees or the players union.

Madonna and A-Rod destroyed their marriages and broke up their families with their alleged affair, but the only problem Jurassic Joan sees is that they had the audacity to fly private to Miami.

Bring us some Kaopectate: Madonna was apparently so moved serenading Alex Rodriguez at her Miami show, she got teary.
So says the New York Daily News, which reports Madge "fixed her gaze on him" while singing "You Must Love Me" (uh oh), then "got all teary-eyed" when he smiled at her in the front row. Meanwhile, she also talked about "a long-distance love affair" when she crooned "I'm So Far Away."
Otherwise, no one seemed too bothered that Madonna showed two hours late and didn't wish anyone a happy Thanksgiving.

After hitching a ride back to Miami with Madonna, A-Rod played family man with his ex-wife and kids last night on their home turf.

It's unclear whether Alex will be spending Thanksgiving with them or if he'll be too busy stuffing having stuffing with Madge.
