see the steely glint in his eye? see the jaunty cock of the head? or the confident stubble on his chin, each whisker a sign of his manly belief in good things to come. Clutch heroics are in this man's near future.

Tom, well-stated. Let's hope you have a gift for prescience.

This man has a lot to prove, but as far as I can tell, A-Rod may be only guilty of seeking PEDs that were legal or not yet banned. Engaged in a conspiracy to obey the rules as written and become the best player he can be given his age and health. And for this, Bud makes him his the PED poster-devil, harassed and jeered around the league and even at home by sunshine Yankee "fans".

He is now my ideal for determination in the face of adversity.
