NEW YORK — Kate Hudson was talking to Kurt Russell when she suddenly stopped, leaned forward in a second-row box seat and clasped her hands together.

Moments later, she kicked back and shook her head. The mighty A-Rod had struck out — again.
A beast in the AL playoffs, Alex Rodriguez has become a bust in his first World Series.
Totally out of whack, swinging at shadows, his performance at the plate in Game 2 Thursday night mirrored his output in the opener. So far: 0 for 8 with six strikeouts.
“I’m not concerned,” the New York Yankees star said. “The fact that I’m 0-fer in this Series and we’re 1-1 makes me feel good.”
Hudson sure didn’t seem to enjoy watching her boyfriend struggle against the Philadelphia Phillies during the Yankees’ 3-1 win.
The actress grimaced when Rodriguez flailed at a changeup from Pedro Martinez in the sixth inning — Rodriguez flipped his bat after his body bent out of shape chasing the pitch. She edged closer to a TV monitor to watch a replay after he was called out on strikes in the eighth.
“I’ve missed some pitches, fouled some off,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez seemed ready to put all his October failures behind him after hammering his way through the first two rounds, hitting a combined .438 with five homers and 12 RBIs against Minnesota and the Los Angeles Angels.
But after striking out three times in a game only twice all year, he’s done it in each of the first two games against the Phils. Cliff Lee got him on Wednesday night, then Martinez and Ryan Madson stopped him.
“I think they’re being careful,” Rodriguez said.
