Dirt on Arod is worth more than the dirt from old Yankee Stadium

Selena Roberts is onto something.

Her new book not only tears the lid off Alex Rodriguez but shows baseball to be corrupt, fixed, crooked, fraudulent, rotten, amoral, unethical, dishonest, vile, falsehearted, insincere, two-faced, venal and -- at times -- forsworn!

She claims Arod tipped off pitches to batter buddies in meaningless game situations.

Considering the number of meaningless home runs Arod has hit, his pals must have paid him back in full.

In fact, looking at Arod's batting average in blowouts, you might even think his team got the better of the deal.

So what about those other fellow scumbags? Does she name names? Or are they just the other 103?

Because that's the problem with these Arod effigy burnings.

There's always 103 who skate.

It's open season on him. He's a candidate for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Dirt on Arod is worth more than its counterpart from old Yankee Stadium.

Know why? It's dirtier.

The writers attack him for his failed marriage. Is he the only one in baseball who cheated on his wife? What about the other 103?

They attack him for being conceited. He must be the only one. What about the other 103?

They attack him for being overpaid. What about the other 103?

They attack him for everything. Then they talk boxscores.

There's no book deal in ripping the other 103. Their dirt doesn't sell.

This is not to attack Selena Roberts, a credible reporter, the Duke lax story notwithstanding. (Seriously: Every reporter has a Duke lacrosse story in his or her past.) Roberts has written a boat -- book! I mean book, she's written a book, sheesh, did I say "boat?" I don't know what I was thinking. She fulfilled her mission.

They didn't pay her the money to write about the other 103.

Their dirt doesn't sell.
