ARoid
Yes, we’re going to be hearing from the thousands of sportswriters who aren’t qualified to be altar boys, yet think they have more divinity than the Pope. The Holy Writers will be giving us their scripture good enough to use when you run out of Charmin.
Well, at least Rob Neyer won’t. Please link to any writer who shares Rob’s views, so I can acknowledge that they don’t feed into all the phony outrage.
I’m sure some of you guys don’t think like I do. That’s fine. Just tell me that you would think exactly the same way if you learned that Willie Mays or Larry Bird or Mario Lemieux was juiced on some performance enhancer or other. Otherwise, I will continue to believe that this is a baseball+steroids+media story (all three elements must be present), and even more important when you add the fourth element of homeruns. It’s that combination that makes ARoid a huge story and any potential Bird/roid story not.
