BREAKING NEWS: A-Rod Tests Positive


Sports Illustrated is reporting that Yankees’ Megastar Alex Rodriquez tested positive for steroids in 2003, his last year with the Rangers.

Wow and wow. Can’t believe another HUGE star has been linked to roids. Unbelievable. The Golden Boy. The Best Clean Player in the Game. Throw a big fat asterisk up on his stats.

I’m not even reveling in this development. You’d think as a Sox fan and certified A-Rod hater, I’d be soaking this in, jumping for joy. But to tell you the truth, I’m kind of stunned and disappointed. I want at least some clean players in the game.

Between Clemens, Bonds and now A-Rod, that’s a combined 16 MVPs and Cy Youngs. Jesus. Remember all the talk of A-Rod breaking Bonds' HR record and therefore "making it clean again?" Silly.

It sure does make the accomplishments of Griffey, Ortiz, Manny and Vlad seem that much more impressive. You know..until it comes out that they did steroids.

Talked to Perk on the phone quickly today and he raised a solid point: he might be terrible with this swirling him all season. Hope so.
