Certainly they can squeeze Zoilo Almonte into this lineup. Career OPS of .523 . Plus, he's a switch-hitter! Maybe bat him cleanup?
He's still playing for the Chunichi Dragons. Batting average is on the interstate and he's 34! The epitome of a Ca$hole mid-season find! Cashie, go get him now, while you can!
I hate A-Rod as much as the next guy. But you know that if David Ortiz had given names, the headlines would all say, “Big Papi a hero again, cooperates with authorities, helps addicts get the help they need.”
Meanwhile, if I had $1 for every paper and website that used “ratted out” in today’s ARoid headline, I’d have almost as much money as Alex.
I agree with BBB. A-Rod is impossible to defend anymore.
But again...double standards abound. "Good guys" in the clubhouse who gave reporters plenty of access...are forgiven. Some, such as I-Rod, Big Papi, and Piazza, are even in the hall.
"Bad guys," who were surly or uncooperative, are villains forever.
And the real crime here? SOMEBODY leaked a huge, unredacted report of a major, DEA operation to the media. Greeeaaaat. Nothing like protecting all those innocent sources who put their lives on the line.
"Some, such as I-Rod, Big Papi, and Piazza, are even in the hall". Infuriating. And sooner or later Bonds, Sheffield, Manny, et al will be "rationalized" into the Hall. And I will spend my remaining years reading books, and hell, maybe even rock climbing, deep sea fishing, or fighting in some revolution where I'll never have to think about Manfred & The Degenerates.

What would your grandfather have say about all of this, ED?
ReplyDeleteDidja see the headline about A-Roid ratting out fellow monsters?
ReplyDeleteWere you surprised?
The stats just get sadder and sadder.

ReplyDeleteI feel like Muad'Dib, Kevin.
ReplyDeleteI can see no future.
We must vanquish the Harkonnen scumbags that are threatening our team . . .
(Boone, Cashman and Hal)
So that the water on Arrakis may flow.
AA, I am picturing Cashman wearing Bene Gesserrit robes 😈😈
ReplyDeleteI need some spice after this season.
