Help Me Albert Pujols, You're My Only Hope

If you had been paying attention to ESPN today, you may have seen the bottom line scroll this lovely new bit of information: "Primobolan was not available for legal purchase, over-the-counter or with a prescription in the Dominican Republic between 2001 and 2003."

Does this ring a bell?: "A-Rod connected to steroid-linked trainer Angel Presinal."

After his lackluster press conference that left more questions than answers, A-Rod's fall from grace has deepened. His ubiquitous press conference left many reporters questioning his honesty as well. After journalists answered some of these unanswered questions, it seems that they have cracked his armor and discovered the cowardly liar underneath.

At first it seemed as though he had learned from the mistakes of Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, and other steroid users. His almost tearful admission had me convinced that maybe he was telling us the truth. It seemed like he wanted to be on a different page in history than these previous steroid users. It seemed so simple: tell the truth, be forgiven.
