From A-Roids to AIDs, baseball has had a rough week.

The reputation and credibility of the MLB and all its players has taken yet another blow to the baby maker as their poster child, Alex "$27.5 million a year" Rodriguez, admitted earlier this week to using steroids back in 2001-2003. When I came across the story for the first time, I reacted a similar way when it surfaced that Lance Bass of N'Sync admitted being gay: "This is news to everyone?"

What makes his situation even worse is that in an 2007 interview he flat out lies, saying that he never took steroids, nor felt the pressure to do so. In the recent Sports Illustrated interview where he comes clean, he turns his story around completely saying that in fact he did take steroids to alleviate the tremendous pressure of performing. Sorry kids! Thats what you get for playing ball in "loosey-goosey era"! 

What a dick. 

The way American athletes are smeared these days is all backwards. Phelps gets caught taking a bong hit (while apparently looking like a pro doing it) OFF SEASON at some frat boy's dorm room, and he's considered worse than Hitler. He's lost sponsorships, upcoming tournament eligibility, and may even be charged by the police. The worst A-Roid is going to get is a small suspension (if that) and boos the rest of his career, where he should be getting the boot from the league and all record books post 2001. If only Katie Couric was apart of Congress, then we'd have some real dirt on him....

But alas, the heat was taken off of A-Roid if not for a day, as former All Star Blue Jay Roberto Alomar was slammed with a 15 mil lawsuit on wednesday from an ex-girl friend claiming that he gave her AIDs. Yikes. This whole steroid scandal has just become a lot more easier to deal with in comparison, has it not?

I know Robbie, it's been a tough week for all of us.
