I still remember the day the Ken Caminiti news broke. June, 2002. Without the internet as a major vehicle to drive the news at that time, the allegations hit the airwaves early in the week and on Thursday, Sports Illustrated came out with its memorable cover, a baseball crossed by syringes. I ...

In a move that makes Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, and their ilk look even more stupid than they did before, Alex Rodriguez followed in Andy Pettite’s footsteps and apologized for his use of performance enhancing drugs. It’s amazing how simple this concept is, and how horribly the Bonds and Clemens crew failed at [...]

The latest participant in the sportswriter hand-wringing is the Sun Times’ Neil Hayes. In a column in today’s online issue, he expounds on the A-Rod revelations with all the craft, style, and logic one should expect from a sportswriter. Which is none. To wit:
As much as we may want baseball’s steroid scandals to end they never will. The story never will die, not with Barry...

Alex Rodriguez took steroids. Could this explain the transformation from a cute, fun-loving baseball player into a immature cocky bastard who thinks he can cheat on his wife with Madonna? There are so many questions to be asked after the news of his steroids use came out. I know steroids is a long overblown topic.

Over the weekend, it was reported that NY Yankee super star Alex Rodriguez, tested positive for steroids in 2003. Today, Alex Rodriguez admitted to using steroids while with the Texas Rangers between the years of 2001 and 2003.

I’ve enacted an embargo on all sports media, thanks to Alex Rodriguez’s PEDs admission today. I can’t take anymore talk of how this will affect ARod’s reception by fans and his off-field endorsement career. I could give a damn how Rodriguez is treated by fans or how much off-field money he’ll ...

Looks like Canseco was right, A-Rod did use the juice along with 103 other players in 2003. Of course when Canseco pointed the finger it was disregarded, it seems like Jose was just trying to make a quick buck. Remember when he denied it on national television?:Facts in ReportThe drug that ...

New York Yankees slugger and former Seattle Mariner Alex Rodriguez admitted this week that he took steroids. We can now safely say that everyone in the league was on the juice at one point or another before the magnifying glass of the federal government cast its white hot light on baseball.It's clear they were all on the juice.

Let's take a moment and reflect on this Alex Rodriguez-steroid situation for a moment, shall we? Let's take a step back and really examine what has transpired over the past couple days.

The defenders of Barry Bonds have claimed, loud, early, and often, that the mainstream media, the Federal government, and the Mitchell investigation targeted Bonds for racist reasons. Indirectly, baseball fans and the so-called mainstream media fed this beast by comparing Bonds to Babe Ruth. Obviously, if there is a ?victim? in this tawdry tale of steroid use, tax evasion, and...
