soapbox

Say I ain’t so, Alex!

I’ve generally been supportive of Alex Rodriguez, or at least up until his dalliance with Madonna, so I confess I am rather surprised and disappointed by the leaking of A-Rod’s name as one of those who tested positive for steroids in 2003.

On one hand, I shouldn’t be surprised, since it was estimated by players and the media that at least a large minority if not a majority of players were on the juice, but I guess I didn’t expect any confirmation.

It’s not fair to Rodriguez that he gets nailed while so many others who were/are just as guilty get away un-named, but in the end it’s also unfair to baseball fans in general as the an iconic figure of today’s sport gets knocked from his place on Mt Rushmore.
