A- (Insert Deragatory Term Describing Alex Rodriguez Here)

Despite the fact that I. Really love. To rip on Alex Rodriguez....I am devastated to hear the news that he was roiding up. As much as I dislike him, I still really wanted him to eventually break Bonds' home run record, so that at least the record was valid again, and not in the hands of a dirty cheater. But unless these reports turn out to be somehow false, it looks as though that may never be the case again. And as a hardcore baseball fan for over 20 years now, who by the age of 7 knew the importance of numbers like 755, 56, .406, 4,256....it's very, very sad.

With every report that is released and every test result that gets leaked, we come closer and closer to the day that a prominent member (members?) of the 2004 Red Sox is linked to performance enhancers, a day that will break my heart. I know it's blasphemous to say this, but it's not like David Ortiz was very awesome until he came to Boston in 2003, at the height of drug use in baseball. Between the lack of a salary cap and the drug scandals, America's old national pastime is rapidly becoming a joke. For the first time, it's starting to affect how hard I cheer for it.

OK, with all that being said.....hahahahahahha you suck, A-Rod! You cheating bastard. Go cry to Madonna, you blue-lipstick-wearing, Jeter-envying, payroll-killing clubhouse cancer. So let's get this straight, New York. For just $27.5 million per season, you get a third baseman who has hit .230 with 4 HR in 24 postseason games with your team, is disrespected and disliked by teammates, causes constant distractions all season long, and used steroids to boot? Good investment. Where you at now, Evelyn? Would you still give your phone number to that roider now? You know, without him asking for it?


This gum has steroids in it.



C'mon, you didn't REALLY expect me to take the high road on this one. Not when it's A-Rod.
