Day 289: Adios, A-Rod.

Nothing makes me happier to see that grimace on Alex Rodriguez's face when something doesn't go his way. You know the look... that "what? I didn't do anything wrong" look. It's a look he's perfected. It's a look he uses often because frankly, Rodriguez rarely thinks he does anything wrong. He has spent his entire adult life so many lips on his ass, it's a surprise he can even sit down anymore.

It's sort of the same look he had on his face in game six of the 2004 ALCS when he slapped the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove and then tried to argue that was his normal running style. He was called out and as he stood on second, arms flailed out to the side, he refused to accept his mistake and leave the field. If you still don't remember that look, click HERE and go directly to 33:46 of the video. I can't help but smile each and every time I watch that crybaby.

This week something happened that you may have heard about that brought A-Rod back down to earth. The 211-game suspension for violations of the sport's drug agreement and labor contract that was handed down by Bud Selig last August was overturned. What? Have no fear though. Baseball's independent arbitrator, Frederic Horowitz, shortened the suspension to 162 games plus all playoff games in 2014.

So now A-Rod is suing Major League Baseball and the player's union. Um... isn't he in the player's union? Doesn't that mean he's suing himself? I'm going out on a limb and saying this guy isn't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. Why can't he just accept that the jig is up, Tony Bosch has enough evidence about their PED relationship to fill Yankee Stadium. There's a lot of other stuff going on in this case that you can read about HERE if you really want to give up five minutes of your life you'll never get back.

Part of me is so happy this piece of shit will not only NOT be playing baseball this upcoming season, but he's also losing out on about $25 million bucks. But there's also a part of me that's mad the Yankees dodged that bullet of having to pay him for probably being injured or just plain sucking.

It makes me sad that baseball has been defaced by the suspicion of performance enhancing drugs. Players have to constantly battle with the public's perception of what is true talent and what is injected talent.
