Arod “Apology”

I’m not sure I’m buying the guys’ story.  I understand you don’t want to say something dumb at the podium, but why do you need a written script?  That just makes it seem staged…  Why not just open up the floor to questions and let the media have at it?  If you’re going to tell the truth, why not just tell the entire truth?

I think it’s honorable to leave the names out, but how can you forget what you took and not know the effects?  Anytime you inject yourself with something, I would imagine you’d at least take the time to understand the benefits and drawbacks.  2003 was a long time ago, I personally can’t remember last week, but I definitely remember supplements I’ve taken for 3 years straight.

Of all the players I thought were steroid free, Arod was up there on my list, probably in the second tier group behind guys like Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey Jr, and Greg Maddux.  I really wanted to believe after all the scrunity he’s endured, he’d emerge in a few years as the shining star of the game, and a legend not fully appreciated in his time…  Oops, I missed that one.  My appreciation of his talents spilt over to Fantasy Baseball as well where I’d take him as my top choice if available , but this year I’m going to have to steer clear until Round 2.
