With charity toward all and malice toward none.

How about that.  Nice tie in Joe.  It wouldn’t kill Jeter to say a thing or two now, but he’s got to be tired of having to comment on A-Rod all the time.  The press always run to Jeter for him to comment on A-Rod’s love life, his marriage, his shirt off in the park, [...]

Jeter

I agree with Joe’s comment on Jeter.  Jeter is always scripted in his responses and tries to do everything perfect.  No one is perfect as we have seen over the years.  A-Rod can actually benefit from this situation by having the monkey off his back and concentrate on playing baseball

Our 16th President and the Yankees

Yes, very nice tie in Joe.
While Teixeira said that he would tell A-Rod that he “loves him”, Melky went one step further and said that he would make love to him. Cano said he would film it.

Our 16th President and the Yankees

There is much discussion again about what Jeter should say regarding A-Rod.  Several other teammates have come forth supporting A-Rod, including Texiera, who actually said he will tell A-Rod that he loves him.  Jeter wants to address this once when all the reporters are assembled for the start of spring training.  Ok, that’s fine, but [...]

Our 16th President

Today is President Lincoln’s 200th birthday.  Our nation is fascinated by him.  Some observations as to why:
He was assassinated on Good Friday in 1865;
He was a man of the 19th century and seemed to be ahead of his time;
He was the first Republican but is revered by Democrats as well;
The only election he ever won was his race for [...]

Testing

I heard Al Leiter say that when the players were told of the anonymous testing, many players who were clean considered refusing to be tested.  Under the program, if you refused, the test would be recorded as a positive for PED’s.  There theory was to get the percentage over 5% so that regular testing would [...]

Chasing the tail.

The 104 list is just subterfuge.  That list is a list of morons.  People who continued to take PEDs even knowing that they would be tested (supposedly annonymously).  So they were players who believed that the tests would be annonymous, yet still did PEDs.
Remember, if the test came back with a small % no testing [...]
