Funny stuff on Twitter for MLB fans ...

[compos mentis]

Alex Rodriguez, as you may have read about in the news last year, bizarrely commissioned some artist to paint a portrait of him as a centaur some time ago.

Well, this guy on twitter, 'IAmCentaur', writes about his life as A-Rod the half man/half horse. Some media types, such as Ken Davidoff from NY Newsday, have picked up on it and are having fun with it as well. The 'Minka' that 'IamCentaur' refers to is of course Jeters' girlfriend.

Below are some of his posts on twitter.

Spoke to the press for 20 minutes today, said nothing of substance, returned to my stall. It's good to be a horse. about 21 hours ago via web

Girardi texted me today, reminding me that, according to the Yankee dress code, my tail has to be trimmed and neatly groomed.

So I texted Girardi right back: "Lay off, dude. Just because you look like a state trooper doesn't mean I have to."

My spies say @KenDavidoff is demanding I pass a drug test before our race. This is getting ugly.

Ok, I do need a little pick-me-up now and again. You would too if you had freakin' Boras calling you 24/7, asking, "who's a genius, baby?"

The snow's so bad Boras got stuck in his Ferrari. He says "this is weather for a horse-drawn carriage." I"m like, don't look at me, bro.

Besides, I was in a bad mood after the Super Bowl. It's not a good time for equines. I'm off to spring training to race @KenDavidoff.


KenDavidoff Still waiting for @IAmCentaur to agree to my proposal: A running 5K, a biking 10K and a full WADA exam.

@KenDavidoff: Dude, take it up with Boras (but wait until he's done fleecing Johnny D) 4:53 PM Feb 19th via web

Sure going to miss Johnny Damon. He used to tell me, "I love riding bareback." I'd be like, dude, leave me out of this conversation.

I really love Rex Ryan. I mean, look at him. The man obviously eats like a horse. 8:26 PM Jan 19th via web

Heard about Carlos Beltran, glad that's not me. You know what they do to horses when their legs go...

I'm worried about Beltran. He just called and asked me to shoot him. "Your kind understands why this has to be done." 10:06 AM Jan 15th via web


McGwire's making me nervous. Sooner or later he's going to tell everyone where he got his horse pills from. 11:30 PM Jan 11th via web

And they said a horse couldn't make it on Twitter. Girardi hates when I tweet from the dugout, but whatever. Thanks for following, humans. 5:00 PM Dec 24th, 2009 via web

@KenDavidoff Your equine hate doesn't scare me, bro.

We'll settle this in a civilized manner: I'll race @KenDavidoff in spring training. He gets a 20-yd head start. I put David Wells on my back 10:20 PM Feb 5th via web

Dude, I will destroy you with Boomer and CC on my back, while I'm talking to Minka on the cell. (oops, let that slip). 10:25 PM Feb 5th via web
I really hate January, nothing to do in my barn except leaf through old photo albums. This is me back in the day: http://bit.ly/68Rn3s


By the way, I went through the park earlier today, saw an ex-teammate down on his luck...giving carriage rides.
