Remember in late 2007 when sports fans blamed Jessica Simpson for the poor performance of her then-boyfriend Tony Romo (of the Dallas Cowboys)?
Well, Kate Hudson is no Jessica Simpson.
A sports columnist for the New York Post credits Hudson for the outstanding performance of her boyfriend Alex Rodriguez throughout the 2009 baseball season and now in the World Series.

"There were so many distractions in Alex Rodriguez's life before this year," writes David Wells -- referring, perhaps, to a steroids scandal, his affair with Madonna and his high-profile divorce from wife Cynthia in 2008. "But he's got a good woman with him now in Kate," Wells says, calling the actress "a good luck charm" and "the perfect complement to him."
Wells praises the Bride Wars star for being a "down-to-earth chick," and for her boisterous presence at Rodriguez's games. "She's just supportive of him, and that empowers him with an 'I don't give a damn' attitude."

The columnist has observed fun-loving Hudson outside Yankees Stadium, too. "I've seen her out, and she likes to have fun, so why can't A-Rod do that? And don't worry about what people think about you."
Indeed, sources close to the couple (together since May) have told Us Weekly that "Kate is changing him for the better . . . he's less of a jerk. He's also more free-sprited."

What's their favorite thing to do together?
Well, ahem . . . "They love sex!" another pal tells Us. "They talk about it all day. Kate gets graphic talking about his body, even to her parents."
Following a 7-4 victory ("A-Rod was a hero again," Wells wrote of the game), the Yankees next play the Phillies Monday night for Game 5.
Tell Us What You Think
102:17- Aww, truth hurts, I see. Thank goodness the series is going back to NYC, it was excruciating having to see all you ugly fat slobs. Put the cheesesteaks down and take a walk... Arod is the best player in baseball, and you're inferiority complex is so pathetic.
9:24- You sound like you have a lot of class. I'm sure the Yankees would be proud of your mouth. A-Rod is not doing much in this series, and Kate Hudson is trashy. Those are facts.
I agree with the person who wrote that A-Rod is nasty to be blowing his snot all over the field and dugout. Especially with swine flu going around. Buy a hankie, A-rod, you make enough money for one.
I wonder if Kate finds it attractive when A-Rod is blowing snot all over the field? How classy is that? It is F'IN disgusting!
You Phillies fans are such low lifes, what morons you are to keep spewing your garbage,when you have no clue about baseball. Yankees fans have way more class and knowledge of the game. So take your inferiority complex and shove it.
You guys/gals realize David Wells isn't a real sports columnist, right? He was a pitcher for the Yankees, among other teams...
Yeah thats why A-Rod is screwing Kate's brains out everynight, because he doesn't want to lose the world series. I hope the philies win again! Go philies! The yankees and their fans are Satan.
She isn't his good luck charm tonight, the Phillies are kicking the Yankees azz!
If the Yankees were losing, Kate would be a bad luck charm and they would blame it all on her...Tony Romo is no where near the athlete Alex Rodriguez is, and is still fairly unproven in his sport, and whether or not Jessica Simpson was around, his football season would not have been any different. These guys have the talent or they don't...you can't blame the girlfriend.
A-Rod has been striking out 90% of the time in this World Series. He had a semi-home run when his ball bounced off the camera and they gave him the home run cause he cried about it, and he had a double last night. Big deal. But he whines and cries like a baby because he wanted that home run and he feels like the pitchers are hitting him on purpose. What a loser, he deserves that nasty looking road lizard, Kate.
