Even I’m getting tired of the A-Rod lynching that is taking place now; he is taking heat in the New York media like I’ve never seen before. Can’t we just agree that the guy is a lying cheating scumbag and move on? This is the time of year where we should be amping up on spring training– not some ‘roids that this this fool put in his butt five years ago. Admittedly, we’ve known the guy is a punk for years and I felt some vindication beyond my personal Red Sox-Yankees rivalry issue when the story came out, but let’s move on. Let him live with his shame and his lies and his asterisked career, and get ready to play some baseball.
Can we get a little love for the World Baseball Classic? Why is the World Cup of Baseball relegated to nuisance status? Managers all complain that their teams suffer because of this biennial event, but they need to step back and recognize how amazing it is. Compared to the so-called “World Series” which includes teams from the U.S. and Canada, the WBC invites teams from around the world. It may be America’s Pastime, but the love for this sport extends to all corners. Forza Italia!
