This is Alex Rodriguez ‘s reaction to everyone hating him.

Twitter can be a very useful tool for garnering updates on breaking news and inside insight from a host of different reporters, commentators and analysts.
It is also good for calling Alex Rodriguez an idiot.
If you hadn’t heard — and I’ll assume that means you’ve been holed up in a Russian airport awaiting asylum — Rodriguez is to be suspended Monday for his role in the Biogenesis scandal. And those in the Twittersphere could not be more excited.
And so I present to you, people on Twitter bagging on A-Rod:
It’s A-Rod day, and it will be glorious http://t.co/Ugpd4Htgh4 #Yankees

Andy Martino is the New York Daily News’ Inside Baseball writer and a regular deliverer of MLB-related sarcasm. I thought I’d start off the parade with something subtle. Don’t worry, it gets worse when you travel to the average person.
Not sure when A-Rod suspension will be announced, but if they could do it in a way where he’s led off the field in cuffs, that’d be great

If you don’t follow Eric Stangel, one of the head writers for “The Late Show with David Letterman,” you are a fool.

The New York Post, as usual, goes all in on A-Rod. Here’s their Monday front cover. Subtle, no? Now, let’s get to the randoms:
Whats sadder to watch: #AlexRodriguez tryin keep himself from being suspended or Alex Rodriguez playin baseball?

That’s the CEO of Pussy Lickin’ Entertainment (free advertising!) bagging on you, A-Rod.
I’m assuming @arod doesn’t have children. There’s no way you could tell/teach them to do the right thing after the way he’s been acting.

Actually, he has two children. Each more embarrassed of their father than the next.
Alex Rodriguez, is and always has been, a dumb bitch
— Michael (@Mike_Fitzz) August 5, 2013
Well, that gets right down to it, Michael.
Alex Rodriguez is going to fight the appeal just to play a couple games be4 he’s suspended for a long time! Enjoy your last days of freedom
— Johnny (@Harry_Abernathy) August 5, 2013
Indeed. It’ll be rough in prison. Wait, what?
Alex Rodriguez is the Lord Voldemort to MLB’s Harry Potter. Gotta destroy the horcruxes before you get rid of him.

I guess I should’ve read “Harry Potter.” Oh well, I’ll assume this is a sick burn.
@AROD I’m so proud of you for fighting the good fight. Been a fan of you since your Texas days..Hahaha jk..nobody likes you.

Hey @AROD, get bent!
— Andy Pletcher (@ficklejar) August 5, 2013
If I never heard the name Alex Rodriguez again, I’d be a happy girl!

You and me both, @BradysTightEnd. You and me both.
Follow Metro New York Sports Editor Mark Osborne on Twitter @MetroNYSports. And yes, he’ll be tweeting about A-Rod, like it or not.
