I need to air my opinion about Alex Rodriguez for all who care!

It is sad that people are still getting called out for performance enhancer use that happened more than five years ago. I am so sick and tired of this stupid subject!

Don't get me wrong, I feel that the people should have the right to know about current players who intentionally break the rules today. If you are that stupid or arrogant to think that you won't get caught, you deserve it. Now, it is against the rules.

My problem is people making a big deal about people taking these enhancers when they were not against the rules. Who cares? Do you? I don't? If it was legal, it was legal.

Yes, I am a Yankee fan, but that has nothing to do with this point. For that matter, I appreciate A Rod as a player but I am not a fan. So, don't think that I am just another dumb ass Yankee fan preaching about poor A Rod - or any other random negative point brought up against the Yankees. A Rod specifically has nothing to do with this rant, he just brought it on.

Do I feel bad for A Rod?

Not at all.

He knew what he did and that he got caught doing it. Remember, it was legal then. Either way, he swept it under the rug and waited for it to come out this way. For that, he has to bear the burden.

Am I glad he admitted to it?

He had no choice, if he would have denied, he would have been like every other random sack of crap who denied reality (McGuire, Sosa, Bonds, and all those other stained girls).

I guess this brings me to the root of my frustration. I still have a hard time understanding why all of these idiots denied using these drugs in the first place. They know what they did. Most of them have been caught doing it! Is it really that hard to remember Mark McGuire using Androstenedione openly during those glory years? I seem to remember it vividly!

How hard would it have been for any one of these guys to say, "Yeah, I used them; there was no rule saying not to"? That is all it would have took. If one would have done it, they all would have done it. It may have caused a storm, but that storm would be gone in six months, unlike our current six year storm.

Mark McGuire crys like a girl, Sammy Sosa corks his bat and denies it (hopeless), and Barry Bonds has a huge roid head (except for on his 1986 Tops rookie card when he was on the Pirates for some reason). I hate all of these players. But, if they would have admitted using, I would have still respected their records - with no asterisk (that brings on another rant about 61* - for another time)!

How sad is it that we look back and the only big players to admit were thong wearing Jason Giambi and my hero Jose Canseco?

They are both pieces of work, but no one holds them accountable to using anymore. People hold Giambi accountable to getting overpaid and playing like crap. People hold Canseco accountable to being in it for the money. Who isn't?

A Rod will get what he gets. He, like almost everyone else missed his opportunity to admit when it wouldn't have mattered. So no, I don't feel for him. That, and he is worth like a billion dollars.

This isn't about feeling bad for one person or another. It is frankly about not giving a rat's ass anymore. Stop bitching about it. If you cheat now, take your suspension. Stop spending the government's fake money on this. No one cares. That goes for your opinion too Mr. Obama. Why don't we just shut the book on it. Everyone probably did it; and just like the coke and amphetamines of the 70's and 80's, players will do something else next year!

There is only one flea ridden scumbag to stick with in this whole thing, my boy, Jose Canseco. The one guy who really doesn't care what anyone thinks. I hate him for bringing this whole waste of time up, but you got to make a living somehow! Can't hate for that!

Remember, Bo knows baseball. He is the one man who never took enhancers. He is the only monster who never had to. Maybe he should have and injuries may not have cut his career so short!
