I just hope for his wife's sake (if he's married) that the transformation into Hemingway is not total.<br /><br />But MLB is treating A-Rod the same way Ken Starr treated Bill Clinton. And, as Bill Maher put it, and it applies to A-Rod too, even if there IS a lot more evidence on him, "They went after him like he was Al Capone. They decided, 'We're gonna get him, we just have to figure out HOW we're gonna get him.' And he WASN'T Al Capone."<br /><br />I'm not A-Rod's biggest fan, as I've made clear. And, one way or another, I want this thing settled, so that the Yankees know what they're dealing with. If he can play for them again, and he CAN still play, great. If not, it's best to get rid of him sooner rather than later, one way or the other.<br /><br />But even the guilty deserve a vigorous defense, includin the right to face their accusers and call their tactics unfair and their evidence bull (or, at the least, inadmissible). They're treating A-Rod almost as if he's a party leader gone slightly wrong in 1938 Russia. At least they won't take him out and shoot him right after their summary show trial with a preselected verdict, right?<br /><br />Right?Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.com
