Well, I'm back and this blog will be better than ever. Now lets get done to brass tacks. So I'm sitting here watching the Alex Rodriquez press conference, and i walk away with a couple of different takes.
He came out and sit down next to the man with the plan in, Brian New York. I figured so, its not like he is going to sit up there alone, sweating and looking around like what am i going to do. there going to make him as comfortable as possible up there while he is supposedly spilling the beans.
The only thing he told us that we didn't already know is that his cousin told him about it, and helped him inject it into god knows what area of the body. So you mean to tell me that they didn't know, what was happening, BULL. Alex Rodriquez knew exactly what he was doing. He was proposed with something that would give him more energy(an edge on everyone else=performance enhancing)and he took it. Don't play dumb Alex, you knew what you were doing. There is a reaction for every action taken.
Personally i think he is still in damage control mode. And that's fine with me, if he feels he still has to play that game. But there was a couple things he easily could have done.
1. When you're asked the question about the what parents could tell their kids about this.
How about its bad, i should have never done any of this, and you see how people are making an example out of me, as they should, i did a very bad thing, and later in the future I'm sure it will have a effect on my health in the long run, but right now i don't know what that might be. So what I'm saying is to the kids of the world who love baseball and will listen or are listening to this right now. Drugs do not improve anything in the long run, it only makes it worse in the long run, and when you're a public figure like i am you have to set an example to all the people who look up to me, and i failed at that tremendously. That's what he should have said instead of a well me and some dude no one knows really is gonna go talk to groups of kids, what a b.s. answer, cause more kids are gonna see this than they will him in them groups.
Last but not least, i actually think in the end this will all blow over for the most part until lets say 15 years from now when he goes up for the Hall of Fame. then here we go again. but until then i think we will still hear about it when a game is on TV or when the all star week hits, you might hear some rumblings about it. but i think for the most part he's some what respectable about the issue, not like douche bag Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens or Mark Mcgwire.

Hey Skids, I understand your anger, and I think that what A-Rod did was wrong and he is going to need to deal with the consequences. But he was man enough to admit to the charges which is something that Bonds/Clemens fail to understand. And, as in with alcohol or drugs, a person who admits to a problem they are more likely to move on with their life. If I were him, I would step um my efforts to get rid of this problem and become part of the solution, whether that allows him to restore his image or not. Our anger however, needs to be directed more at the owners during this steroid era for permitting its use and not doing anything about it and yet they, and Selig, are not held accountable. How about they return all the revenue their team got during those seasons?
