George and Alex, part deux

·1 min

Tom Verducci has more on the Steinbrenner/A-Rod summit:

Often using coarse language, Steinbrenner told Rodriguez to take more of a leadership role on and off the field.

GEORGE: You’re trying too @!&%ing hard to blend in like one of the guys! I didn’t bring you here to be just one of the guys! And where’s my eggplant calzone!

ALEX: Mr Boss, sir, it’s just that… it wasn’t my fault! it’s that nasty Arroyo! He came right at me!

GEORGE: Enough about that ****! You’ve got to @!&%ing be more of a @!&%ing leader!

ALEX: *sniffles* Must you use that kind of language?

GEORGE: I damn well say the **** I want to say. And where’s my calzone?

ALEX: *bawls* I hate you! Go to H-E-double-hockey-sticks!
