HBT: A-Rod went to ER during playoffs for his hip

That?s the report from Ken Rosenthal, who tweets that A-Rod was re-injured before the playoffs and that he was ?on pain medication throughout the?post-season. Pain so severe?after one of DS games, he had to be taken to emergency room and spent night there.?

Hurm.

On the one hand, I?m tempted to say that this is certainly sobering for the people who wanted to trash the hell out of Rodriguez during the playoffs.

On the other hand, how in the world could no one have reported that A-Rod spent a night in an ER during the playoffs before now? ?That kind of thing has to get out, doesn?t it? Heck, given how much crap people were piling on Rodriguez, you?d think the Yankees would have leaked or reported this themselves in an effort to protect their player from being attacked the way he was being attacked back in October.

Whatver the case, my spidey sense tells me that, yes, A-Rod was in a lot more pain during the playoffs than was generally reported, but that perhaps someone ? maybe someone close to A-Rod ? is gilding the lily a bit here.

As always, of course, if A-Rod can come back and play, this will be forgotten. If not, he?ll be considered a bum or a slacker or whatever it is people like to consider A-Rod. ?He?ll never get credit for trying to play through pain.
