What made me mad was that it preempted all the programming on MLB network I wanted to watch Cathedrals of the game Cooperstown.  Damn you Arod

I have been somewhat disappointed in that series so far… the Safeco Field one (as though I needed to watch it) seemed a little ‘content lite’ to me.

That is true I just dvr it and watch it in about 15 minutes though.  See you Opening Day my Mother just bought a (overpriced) package!!!  As the only Child that is a Mets fan I get to go just like all the tickets from last seasons games

I don’t feel sorry for ARod per se…everything you note about him is certainly true. But the way the media has dealt with this is trashy, although maybe not as trashy as the misogynous way they dealt with the Madonna fling. Joe Torre has trashed ARod. I don’t like the Yankees. ARod makes too much money. On and on. Gaah, I can’t even figure out why I feel a teeeensy bit of sympathy for the guy. But I do. Ok I’m over it now and I’ll place my full focus on just loving the Mets. PS You have an awesome website.

Dinged Corners, you too have an awesome website!

I agree that it’s been trashy, that it’s been over-the-top - OTOH, A-rod invited all of that. OTOH, did nothing newsworthy happen today?

but that is how things are done today. they are covered over the top.

How do we know that Carlos Delgado never used PED’s?  We cannot definitively say any player from the last 25 years or so is 100% clean.

all i know when the a-rod story broke i gave a huge sigh of relief - cuz can you all imagine the blowback we would get from the yankee fans - that “our guy” was the biggest steroid cheat of em all? all i can say is steve phillips is a idiot savant on the level of forrest gump

I doubt that anyone will ever come “completely” clean (after reading part of the article at the Tigers site), but it’s amazing, in the denydenydeny era of Barry Bonds, that Rodriguez actually sat down and copped to it, regardless of how it was done. It’s not 100%, but it’s a step in the right direction. Punishment would also be a step in the right direction, but it looks like they’d rather take that sort of thing out on guys who got vitamins from GNC and are not-well-known names and play for teams that aren’t the Yankees. As for his whole “didn’t know” thing, really? Is he really going to sit there and tell us that he didn’t know what he was putting into his body, that thing he uses to make his living with? Whatever.
Anyway, I agree with everything you say here, and I’d agree with it even if it was one of our guys; the way these people talk to us, like we’re three-year-olds who don’t know any better, is insulting. And if Selig takes absolutely zero action on this, then that, too, is a blight on the game. Sad.

The A-Rod story just made me laugh.  Though it kind of takes the fun out of hating ARod since so many people seem to these days.  If I had the money I’d get a T-Shirt made that said Despising ARod since 1996. And don’t be confused by my location I am all about the orange and blue.
