A-Rod Out For 2014.
By: Mike Lindsley
Alex Rodriguez has used steroids. We all know it. He knows it, no matter how many ridiculous statements he makes or how many sketchy people he gets involved with. A-Roid, as he is called in funny circles, is a dope. And a doper.
And now an arbitrator has ruled that he is out of the 2014 season, both regular season and postseason, should the Yanks make it to October (good luck with that). Here are five things to take away:
1. A-Rod was guilty from the beginning. Biogenesis proved this. A-Rod proved it. His nut job group proved it. His lies over time proved it.
2. MLB is also full of crooks and bad people. MLB says A-Rod is guilty. Says who? Do we know A-Rod is a liar beyond liars and a drug user? Sure. But somehow, MLB still doesn't have a failed "drug test." Imagine that. The sport that says its own drug testing policy is the best in sports doesn't have a failed physical drug test on the guy they are going after A #1. What a bunch of sorry losers.
3. Derek Jeter, for 2014, you are free.
4. Could be the end for A-Rod. This guy's career could now be over. A year from now, A-Rod will be even older, even more broken down and even more scrutinized by all. He should just walk away.
5. A-Rod is still a Hall of Famer. Yes, this list has the ups and downs, the heads and tails, the black and white. Bottom line is, A-Rod put up the numbers. We don't know how many numbers were based on the PED use. But Rodriguez, like Bonds and Clemens, is a HOF with or without the ROIDS. Put him in. But put him into a wing where the Baseball Hall of Fame can educate baseball fans around the world about steroids. Don't put these scum bags in with the great players of all-time in what is known as "The Great Hall" and shame us all. Put them where they belong. In the cheating wing. But still in the Hall of Fame where they should be in some way, shape or form. MLB will disagree with it despite turning a blind eye to drug use so it could make money after the strike and beyond. And put A-Rod and Bonds and Clemens in and whoever else put up the numbers in.
Damn those idiot baseball writers who know far less about the game than they think they know. This sport is a sham no matter what thanks to the PED use, no closure, Bud Selig, no testing, the HOF voting; Need we go on? And that Hall of Famer-crook-liar-talented son-of-a-gun-since-Seattle Alex Rodriguez leads the way.
