A-Roid and MLB: “But I said I was sorry”

A-Roid and MLB: “But I said I was sorry” - March 2nd, 2009

Alex Rodriguez has got the act down. I think he deserves an Oscar for his performance as the “likeable” steroid cheat asshole. He managed to pose with his kids after a two-hour meeting with MLB officials and then condemn the media for only reporting the bad things about baseball.

He won an MVP while taking steroids. This is major news and should be talked about for the rest of his sorry, choking career as apart of the New York Yankees. I was actually a huge baseball fan until the Bonds Steroids Home Run Record began to pick up steam. I watched in 2005 and 2006 hoping that the people who run the league would have the good sense to discount his home run totals.

Of course then they said they had proof and that he was innocent until proven guilty. Of course, he was proven guilty, in MLB’s own internal probe in 2003. That is the very same probe that caught Alex Rodriguez and the same probe that Bud Selig consistently fails to mention when he condemns players who used steroids.

I’m sorry, but are these millionaire players and owners so insulated from the rest of the population that they think we are okay with this little snafu that helped bring the league back following the greed fest known as the 1994 strike.

The media is not at fault and the fans and the league do not simply need to get beyond this whole steroid thing Mr. George Mitchell. At some point there has to be a head hunt in the face of blatantly illegal activities.

I do not want roid-tainted blood for these betrayals. I want records erased. I want players and officials held accountable. Before I buy anymore MLB tickets this summer I want to know that the league that jacks up prices in the face of a recession is willing to take disgruntled fans seriously.

Unfortunately, we all come back like Chicagoans to Cubs games. We do not punish these people and this organization in the only real way possible. I hate to sacrifice a season worth of Red Sox tickets or New York Mets seats, but how else will these rich bastards know we are serious.

I bet in that two hour meeting neither side ever even thought of talking about suspension or of suspending pay. I bet the officials took down the story and filed it directly in the shredder to make sure that the press could not get a hold of the information and burn the league again. I bet there were smiles as officials and players talked about vacation spots in the Caribbean during the breaks. I bet the only thing constructive achieved was planning a get away after the season was over when the rest of us poor saps have to worry about being fired for using too many paper clips or making too many copies.
