A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post describing the real reason why Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter can’t stand each other. Well, it doesn’t end there, here’s part 2 of the Saga. The Middle School Years.

Alex and Derek have solved their problems from elementary school and are friends again. Or so they thought

Derek- I'm glad we can put our differences behind us Alex.

Alex- Well Derek, we had some tough times. With the Nintendo incident and the Lego incident. I'm glad we can be friends again.

Derek- Sure thing (takes out a ring he found in a cereal box)

Alex- Where did you get that?

Derek- Oh this, I found it. Why?

Alex- Well, because I had a cereal box and there was no ring inside.

Derek- Are you saying that I stole it?

Alex- No, no, no, Mr. Perfect Jeter. You did nothing wrong. You want me to get you anything else your highness.

Derek- Look it's not my problem that you don't have a ring, Alex. I got lucky I guess.

Alex- Lucky huh? My the#### warned me about this. He said...

Derek- You're still going to Dr. Andrews? I thought you stopped that back in elementary school. Look, you aren't going to start talking all proper again are you because if you are, I'm leaving.

Alex- I listen to Dr. Andrews, Dr. Reeves, Dr. Jones, and Dr. Ramirez

Derek- How many doctors do you go to Alex?

Alex- About 8.

Derek- There's something wrong with you bro.

Alex- Bro? Oh, so I'm your bro now huh. That's very nice. Well bro, why don't you give me my ring back.

Derek- For the last time, I didn't take your ring. I earned it.

Alex- You earned it? How did you earn it? Oh I know, you probably had you're rich uncle buy you 2500 boxes until you got the one with the ring. Is that right Derek. Because you know with your uncle there's no limit on spending for you.

Derek- No, look it's just a stupid ring. Why do you want it so bad?

Alex- A ring can define your career Derek. You’re either a legend or a bum without it.

Derek- What career? You're in the 7th grade Alex. And a legend, please tell me what makes you legendary. You're ability to speak what you think is Spanish?

Alex- Oh, so now you're mocking my people?

Derek- Your people? Alex, you were born in Miami. Are your people Miamians because the last I checked Miami is in Florida which is in the United States. And you say I'm mocking you? What about when you told the school newspaper that I wear Speedos instead of bathing suits? And how do you even know that I wear a Speedo. Are you stalking me?

(Alex says nothing, Jason and Jeremy Giambi walks into the room hearing the argument.)

Jason- Look guys, can't we just get along? You two our the best players on the dodge ball team and without you guys, we stuck.

Alex- Shut up Jason, We don't you and Jeremy go take some more of those illegal Flintstone vitamins in the bathroom. Because we all know you have no talent at all.

(The two brothers turn around and start crying. Their backs are full of acne and hair, the side affects to illegal Flintstone vitamins given by Victor Conte, the school janitor.)

Derek- That wasn't necessary Alex. Jeremy and Jason are good guys.

Alex- Oh sure, stick up for them. When was the last time you stood up for me Derek? When?

Derek- Look, this relationship is over.

Alex- Fine, Chuck Knoublach is a better friend anyways.

I'll be back with this story in the next couple of weeks with part 3, the high school years.
