David Ortiz, come on down!  You are the next contestant of… The Outrage Is Phony!

By Tangotiger, 01:07 PM

The story:

Now, players with Boston’s championship teams of 2004 and 2007 have also been linked to doping.

Redsox Nation will defend him, the others who want to fight will villify him, and even those Redsox fans who are bothered by it will simply hold their noses as they cling to the dream of a clean ring.

The rest of us who don’t cling to the idea that baseball is a virgin to be protected at all costs will shake our heads for a second and move on in peace, while leaving the battlefield to those too holy for us.
