A-Rod is already putting the kibosh on Kabbalah.

Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez has been backing out of his private Kabbalah classes and it’s reportedly driving a wedge between A-Rod and Madonna, according to a report on msnbc.com.

“He’s basically a Kabbalah school dropout,” a source close to the Kabbalah Centre told msnbc.com. “This is certainly off-putting to Madonna.”

I’ve having a Post-2005 ALDS flashback…

“I played great baseball all year, and I played like a dog the last five days. I can’t put it into words. This is as low as it gets. I felt good, I saw the ball well,” [Alex] Rodriguez said. “If I would have contributed some, maybe we would be moving on to Chicago.

“I’ve got to take a long look in the mirror because I didn’t do my part. I mean, you win and lose as a team, but I didn’t show up.”

A no-show for the ALDS, and, now a no-show for Kabbalah school too?

Listen to Woody, Alex, “Eighty percent of success is showing up.”
