Over at Yahoo, Dan Wetzel has a great column on this, noting that allegedly-clean A-Rod was supposed to deliver MLB’s record book from the taint of Bonds.
Beyond wondering if baseball is past even having a sense of outrage, Wetzel notes that A-Rod as A-Roid has the semi-positive fallout of shattering the “roider-as-Popeye” stereotype.
He also wonders whether A-Rod, with his oft-fragile psyche, is capable of standing up to the stress of “user” mixed with “Bonds record chase,” as compared to Bonds’ iron mental discipline.
And, speaking of Barry, Josh Peter breaks down what each of the steroids he allegedly took is supposed to do for you.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
