NEW YORK -- Brian Cashmans expression said it all. Every time Alex Rodriguezs name was mentioned Friday, the New York Yankees general manager appeared as if he might get sick. The subject was the third basemans claim that his left quadriceps really isnt injured, but it could have been any one several topics: Rodriguezs alleged performance-enhancing drug use, his pesky Twitter and radio appearances or his knack for creating tabloid headlines. Cashman challenged A-Rod to have his leg examined by an outside doctor or perhaps even file a grievance, defending the teams medical and training staff and saying he wouldnt comment on "extra noise." The third baseman detailed his frustration during a radio interview Thursday, just hours after team management said he wouldnt be ready to resume minor league rehab games until Aug. 1. Rodriguez wouldnt answer when asked whether he trusted the Yankees. "The MRI is the MRI. Its fact. You cant change the results on an MRI," Cashman said before Fridays 10-6 loss to Tampa Bay in a homestand opener. "So, were very comfortable with it, and if anybody wants to utilize the process in place with the union, go right ahead. Its not something were afraid of." Recovering from January hip surgery, Rodriguez is under investigation by Major League Baseball for his reported ties to a Florida clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. A lengthy suspension appears likely. Seemingly days away from rejoining the Yankees, he complained of leg pain last weekend, and the Yankees said an MRI on Sunday showed a quadriceps strain. An outside physician, Michael Gross, said Wednesday he looked at an MRI at Rodriguezs request -- its not clear when the MRI was taken -- and could not detect an injury. Gross is not on baseballs list of doctors recommended for second opinions, and he admitted he never personally examined Rodriguez. The Yankees responded angrily because Rodriguez didnt follow the procedure in baseballs labour contract, which requires him to provide written notice when a player wants a second medical opinion, and the team intends to discipline him -- most likely with a fine. Rodriguez did conditioning work Friday at the teams minor league complex in Tampa, Fla., a day ahead of his 38th birthday, and Cashman said the three-time MVP is on a schedule that could have him resume minor league games Aug. 1. As Rodriguezs car was departing, a fan held a light-colored, oversized card above his head and saw the side that read: "Happy Birthday!" and had a cartoon-like drawing of a clown. Rodriguez went by quickly and wasnt around by the time the fan opened the card to reveal the side read: "From One Clown to Another." When or whether he returns to the Yankees has become a daily drama. "I think we all kind of want it to get behind us, no matter what it is, and once something happens or doesnt happen, then we can kind of deal with it then," injured first baseman Mark Teixeira said. Cashmans careful answers sounded more like those of a White House press secretary rather than responses of a big league GM. "Im not going to comment really on the Alex stuff. Feel free to just reach out to Alex and ask him, because thats something thats hard to keep up with and follow," Cashman said. "So I can just provide you the facts, and thats what Ill continue to do. Were running a baseball team, and I will provide you with the most accurate information that I can provide on a daily basis about anybody and everybody whos either healthy on that field or hurt and what the current state of their medical condition is and their rehab." Cashman praised outfielder Alfonso Soriano, acquired Friday from the Chicago Cubs for minor league right-hander Corey Black. His accolades for Sorianos attributes could be interpreted by some as criticism of what Rodriguez is not. "Over the years, we used to be attracted to all types of players and all types of personalities. If they could play, thats all the mattered," Cashman said. "I do think with the evolution social media and the explosion of the Internet and ESPN, everything, that having high-character guys that work hard and get along with everybody and obviously you have talent to boot, clearly is important." Given his teams offensive struggles, manager Joe Girardi said he would be happy to have Rodriguez back as quickly as possible. "People follow him around a lot. I never really had to deal with that," Girardi said. "When I was in rehab, no one came to watch. They didnt care if I teed or tossed or anything." NOTES: CC Sabathia allowed six runs in the second inning and seven runs over five innings in all. He is 0-3 with a 7.04 ERA in his last four starts, dropping to 9-9 on the season. "Left a fastball up, a couple sliders, a changeup up," Girardi said. "That was the problem in the second inning. He was up in the zone, and they didnt miss it." Sabathia became the only big league pitcher this year to give up seven runs or more in three straight outings and only the second Yankees pitcher since 1935, joining Chien-Ming Wang in April 2009. "If I can help us out, I feel like we would be doing a lot better. But getting no help from me is making it tough," Sabathia said. ...

Weve done it!Weve qualified for next summers ICC Womens World Cup on home soil! Coming into this series in Sri Lanka, we knew we needed just one win from the three ICC Womens Championship matches to qualify, and we did it in style at the first opportunity in the second ODI. Our opening of the series didnt count as a Championship match, but it was still a very special occasion for Beth Langston, as she made her much-anticipated ODI debut. Beth Langston (centre) celebrates her first wicket on her ODI debut It was a touching moment when Katherine Brunt was asked to do the cap presentation. As one of Beths closest friends - and landlord - Katherine delivered a few poignant words in front of the group as she handed over the shiny new match cap - welcome to the gang, No 125!Watching Beth take her first ODI wicket during that match was also an exciting moment for everyone, although you could have been fooled by her celebration… the little skip and clap needs a bit of work, Langers!To celebrate Beths debut and our opening win of the tour, we headed to the Galle Face Hotel, renowned for its fantastic view of the beautiful coastal sunset. Unfortunately though, within about 20 minutes of us arriving, the sky clouded over. The views from Sri Lanka are spectacular Words were exchanged between Robbo (Mark Robinson) and Ali Maiden (our assistant coach), who suuggested the excursion - needless to say, they quickly passed blame back and forth.dddddddddddd Sri Lanka is such a beautiful country and we have been so lucky to be able to experience the wonderful culture here during the couple of rest days that we have had. We have quickly made firm friends with a couple of our favourite tuk tuk drivers, who kindly wait for us outside the hotel to take us out and about across Colombo.The fish restaurants in particular over here are unbelievable and we walked into one called Lagoon, only to see a huge stingray available for cooking!
