From the Page 2 mailbag

When Page 2 received the photo below over its newswires, we immediately had questions.

Sure, we recognized that it was Texas Rangers shortstop Alex Rodriguez running in the outfield after a spring-training game. But we felt that A-Rod was trying to send us some type of message. What could the $252 million man be trying to say?

We asked our loyal readers to interpret the message, and, as usual, you came through. Here are some of the best responses we received.

"They told me this contract would have me running with the big dogs, but this ain't what I had in mind."

Buying the Texas Rangers ... $250 million.

Signing Alex Rodriguez ... $252 million.

Having a hot dog that big ... priceless.
