Late Innings

I have very much in common with the Yankees’ third baseman Alex Rodriguez. Actually no I don’t. I want to keep this short and sweet however. I saw the CNN post come up over the weekend about his alleged steroid accusations, and today he finally admitted it. Rodriguez told ESPN’s Peter Gammons that he took the ‘roids between ‘01 and ‘03. In other words he drank the “high octane” coffee.

My stance on this story is to avoid it, which I’m not doing now. I talked very little about the Mitchell Report when it broke last December, and I’ll refrain from talking about the Rodriguez story after this post. Besides, the MSM is talking about this thing ad nauseum, much how they did a year and change ago about the names listed in the Mitchell Report. My closing argument, MLB shouldn’t have let this get out. Period, they didn’t do their job. Now I have to live with the most disgusting point here… that Jose Canseco was right about everything… yuck.
