A-ROD, BRADY A BUDDING BROMANCE

It rained and it rained and then it stopped long enough to rain on Alex Rodriguez’s parade.

The Yankees slugger reportedly had plans to have dinner with injured Patriots quarterback Tom Brady last Friday night, but the game between the Bombers and Red Sox went on after a 1 hour, 38 minute rain delay.

According to the Boston Herald’s Inside Track, Rodriguez was giddy in hopes the game would be called.

“A-Rod was running around the clubhouse asking everyone, ‘Are we gonna play? Are we rained out? Are we postponed?’ Every few minutes he’d come around and ask his teammates – or anyone else who was around – the same thing,” according to one of the Herald’s “spies.”

The game, which the Yankees won 19-8 to end the Red Sox’s chance of winning the AL East, was played through a steady rain and was delayed another 31 minutes in the top of the fifth inning.

“He was all excited,” the Herald’s “spy” said. “You know he’s a big star (expletive) anyway and he was all worked up over his ‘date’ with Tommy.”

The Inside Track could not confirm or deny if the two superstars were able to have their date during the Yankees’ three-day trip to Boston, which ended their season.

Perhaps they can meet up in New York, where Brady is spending most of his time after a season-ending knee injury suffered in the opener. He’s often seen sporting a Yankees cap.

Brady and Rodriguez were photographed together at Maxim’s Super Bowl party in February 2007, but no one is certain if that was the start of or a continuation of their relationship.

Any mention of a possible Bray-Rod romance should include that Brady is engaged to supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and Rodriguez is recently divorced from his wife, Cynthia.
