Remaining mostly silent have I, over the last week as far as the Steroid issues and how it concerns the latest Humpty-Dumpty Downfall with Manny Ramirez the latest Humpty Dumpty; I must come to term now with several key conclusions. There is no excuse period. No cutsie free verse nor whet edged apology in its purist form and most definitely, no acceptable Doctors note" in blind prescription that will suffice!
The Dancing Stallion that trips around third base for the N.Y. Yankees rejoined his team-mates and drove a pitch beyond the boundaries much like the boundaries he himself has violated yet they stand and cheer this vanity like some divine arrival..Is forgiveness such an easy task in New York? Is the hitting of a mere home-run forbearance sufficient to such a transgression? The ones in charge of Public Relations for the Star of stars of this MLB franchise have done their jobs very well by keeping this wealthy, talented representative of baseball hidden away until the protest and protesters faded into obscurity. He is forever tainted and those near the elite in MLB offices throughout had better take action with the latest, these damned IMITATORS, these violators before the "Age of Steroids" become nothing more than a "Live Ball era.
I have watched in shock at the once gutsy, informative Peter Gammon's of the sports world melt in fear of losing an allegiance to these Cunning Cats and report their crimes with the vigor of milk toast, afraid to take them to task! Has the very act of right and wrong lost all its valor? We shall soon see. Until then, however, Remember what is taking place around us, it is after-all the simpletons of the world like you and I that suffer, the baseball fan, common and continuously supportive that keep them wealthy while our own pockets weigh much lighter.
