ALEX RODRIGUEZ Soap "As A-ROD Turns" hits the Bronx...Forget A-ROD coming Home to the BRONX the big bad Motor City TIGERS playing in the O-ZONE Layer...and the BRONX Zoo will be rocking for more reasons then one..."WEEKEND BENDERS" PINSTRIPES Double-Digits back in the East...#TIGERSbiz #YANKSbiz

The Story Lines this last into 162 should be Tigers and Yanks battle it out in the Bronx. Well the Yanks have not held up their end of the bargain and the Tigers have. Fast forward to August 9, 2013 the headlines are "A-Rod doesn't take MLB's Suspension and fights it". The other Story line is "A-Rod is back in the Bronx" and he needs Beats by 'Dre Professional Set playing U2's hit " A Beautiful Day" with his delusional self. There still is a Three-piece to play and the Tigers are coming into the Bronx as the Side Show but after Sunday they will leave the Show one would think.
