NEW YORK (AP) ? Brian Cashman's expression said it all.

Every time Alex Rodriguez's name was mentioned Friday, the New York Yankees general manager appeared as if he might get sick.

The subject was the third baseman's claim that his left quadriceps really isn't injured, but it could have been any one several topics: Rodriguez's alleged performance-enhancing drug use, his pesky Twitter and radio appearances or his knack for creating tabloid headlines.

Cashman challenged A-Rod to have his leg examined by an outside doctor, defending the team's medical and training staff and saying he wouldn't comment on "extra noise."

The third baseman detailed his frustration during a radio interview Thursday, just hours after team management said he wouldn't be ready to resume minor league rehab games until Aug. 1. Rodriguez wouldn't answer when asked whether he trusted the Yankees.

"The MRI is the MRI. It's fact. You can't change the results on an MRI," Cashman said before Friday's homestand opener against Tampa Bay. "So, we're very comfortable with it, and if anybody wants to utilize the process in place with the union, go right ahead. It's not something we're afraid of."

Recovering from January hip surgery, Rodriguez is under investigation by Major League Baseball for his reported ties to a Florida clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. A lengthy suspension appears likely.

Seemingly days away from rejoining the Yankees, he complained of leg pain last weekend, and the Yankees said an MRI on Sunday showed a quadriceps strain. An outside physician, Michael Gross, said Wednesday he looked at an MRI at Rodriguez's request ? it's not clear when the MRI was taken ? and could not detect an injury. Gross is not on baseball's list of doctors recommended for second opinions, and he admitted he never personally examined Rodriguez.

The Yankees responded angrily because Rodriguez didn't follow the procedure in baseball's labor contract, which requires him to provide written notice that a player wants a second medical opinion, and the team intends to discipline him ? most likely with a fine.

Rodriguez did conditioning work Friday at the team's minor league complex in Tampa, Fla., a day ahead of his 38th birthday, and Cashman said the three-time MVP is on a schedule that could have him resume minor league games Aug. 1.

As Rodriguez's car was departing, a fan held a light-colored, oversized card above his head and saw the side that read: "Happy Birthday!" and had a cartoon-like drawing of a clown. Rodriguez went by quickly and wasn't around by the time the fan opened the card to reveal the side read: "From One Clown to Another."

When or whether he returns to the Yankees has become a daily drama.

"I think we all kind of want it to get behind us, no matter what it is, and once something happens or doesn't happen, then we can kind of deal with it then," injured first baseman Mark Teixeira said.

Cashman's careful answers sounded more like those of a White House press secretary rather than responses of a big league GM.

"I'm not going to comment really on the Alex stuff. Feel free to just reach out to Alex and ask him, because that's something that's hard to keep up with," Cashman said. "I just provide you the facts, and that's what I'll continue to do. We're running a baseball team, and I will provide you with the most accurate information that I can provide on a daily basis about anybody and everybody who's either healthy on that field or hurt and what the current state of their medical condition is and their rehab."

Cashman praised outfielder Alfonso Soriano, acquired Friday from the Chicago Cubs from a minor leaguer. His accolades for Soriano's attributes could be interpreted by some as criticism of what Rodriguez is not.

"Over the years, we used to be attracted to all types of players and all types of personalities. If they could play, that's all the mattered," Cashman said. "I do think with the evolution social media and the explosion of the Internet and ESPN, everything, that having high-character guys that work hard and get along with everybody and obviously you have talent to boot, clearly is important."

Given his team's offensive struggles, manager Joe Girardi said he would be happy to have Rodriguez back as quickly as possible.

"People follow him around a lot. I never really had to deal with that," Girardi said. "When I was in rehab, no one came to watch. They didn't care if I teed or tossed or anything."

Google TV To Receive Chromecast Support In the Future Via Update

Yesterday, alongside the new Nexus 7 tablet, Google announced Chromecast ? a small dongle that allows you to stream content to your TV from your Android or iOS device. Chromecast can essentially turn your TV into a smart TV in terms of functionality, even if it lacks TV specific applications. That said, those of you who own a Google TV television or set-top box need not worry that your device has been one-upped, as Chromecast support is said to be coming to Google?s television service in the future.

Exactly how Google TV and Chromecast will intertwine isn?t quite clear, but it?s likely the most simple of guesses, in that GTV will simply support the dongle for content ?casting?. Some Google TV boxes ship with a media server application, allowing you to stream content from your computer via DLNA, so the idea of Chromecast might seem a little redundant. Still, we?re definitely glad to see that Google hasn?t completely abandoned it?s TV service, especially when we were expecting a (worth while) announcement during Google I/O earlier this year.

If you don?t own a Smart TV, Set-top Box, or other smart device, we?d suggest you look into the Chromecast dongle before you spend $99+ on such a device. The Chromecast may lack apps and other TV-centric features, but it will most likely fit the bill for a large chunk of users who want to access their favorite content on their televisions. And at $35, even Smart TV owners are still considering the dongle. I know I am.

Twitter has new smartphone search function

Twitter has new smartphone search function

Twitter has overhauled the search function for its apps on Android and iOS, allowing users to expand searches for people beyond just their names to include additional information and their profile picture, the microblogging network has announced.

This should make it easier to find friends, celebrities and acquaintances. To access the new search, users will have to upgrade their Twitter programme.

The update will also allow messages to be synchronised across devices, meaning an item read on a smartphone will be noted as such on a desktop. Until now, they would appear as unread on the one, even if read on the other.

But, to use this function, both users have to use the most up-to-date Twitter apps and programmes.
