New York Post staffers say that they are working diligently around the clock to come up with a headline pinning devastating Hurricane Sandy on Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.

"We promise New Yorkers that despite the difficulties that still remain in the city, including loss of power in our building and in the apartment and homes of our staffers, we will come through with an A-Rod headline about the hurricane," said editor-in-chief Col Allan. "We know that it would raise the spirits of this city's residents and help them get through this tough time."

Since the storm began slamming the city on Monday night, the Post has been planning to target Rodriguez.

"I was looking out of our windows on the top floor and could see the waters rising, could see the power go out and knew this was getting really bad. There was true devastation and heartache," said sports editor Chris Shaw. "That's when I knew we had to go with a really snarky A-Rod headline. So I yelled out: 'This sucks almost as much as A-Rod.' We all high-fived for a few minutes and then got to work."
