Alex ...I disagree with the author of this article. Alex Rodriguez by anyone's definition is a reprobate. He's been juicing since he was a teenager in the streets of Miami. He can't hit, field or throw on a major league level without the use of performance enhancing drugs. Have you ever seen him run? He looks like a pregnant woman trying to catch a bus. Jackson's points are salient, the author's are not. She is trying to manufacture an argument as to compare the transgressions of Pettitte vs.Rodriguez....we must hate Pettitte equally...no we don't, there is no moral equivalence here! mementohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00686442481102986437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-49291566079472765162012-07-09T11:15:30.968-04:002012-07-09T11:15:30.968-04:00Mike, you are missing the point.

I said that you can't criticize A-Rod for doing PEDs, and then defend Andy Pettitte for doing the same thing. In fact, my point is just the opposite of what you are claiming -- that I am being unobjective.<br /><br />If you want to say A-Rod doesn't belong in the HOF, fine. I really don't have a problem with that. But you're a hypocrite, and yes, a pro-Pettitte fanboy or fangirl, if you give Andy Pettitte a pass, and say that he should be in the HOF, when he is just as guilty of using PEDs as A-Rod is.Subway Squawkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156896665605326549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-8583665076640443582012-07-09T10:57:31.062-04:002012-07-09T10:57:31.062-04:00I am sensing both poor grammar and a miss of the p...I am sensing both poor grammar and a miss of the point from "BasedGod." It was Lisa who used the term "fangirls." If you have an issue with that term being used, take it up with her.<br /><br />The point is, while Lisa and I are both Reggie people, she is an A-Rod person. That makes it considerably more difficult for her to be objective here. Not impossible, but considerably more difficult. As it would be for me if the subject were, say, Paul O'Neill.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-80896263907665510972012-07-06T11:51:55.184-04:002012-07-06T11:51:55.184-04:00I sensing alot of sexism from "Uncle Mike&quo...I sensing alot of sexism from "Uncle Mike".BasedGodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01255226924776571348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-43738217521868447432012-07-06T10:46:47.151-04:002012-07-06T10:46:47.151-04:00Oh, Lisa.

Whatever points you had to make would have been better suited being made by someone else. Especially since you used the word "fangirls."<br /><br />I agree that Reggie does himself no favors with this statement. But you really should have enlisted another messenger.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.com
