For the First Time Ever, A-Rod Spoke Like a Man

Exposed New York Yankees cripple Alex Rodriguez honorably stated in an interview aired on the Yes Network with Michael Kay Tuesday that he prefers for the remaining 103 players who tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in the 2003 MLB survey to remain anonymous despite the fact that his own positive results were revealed to the public last month.

"Well, this is really about my mistake," said Rodriguez, 33, a three-time AL MVP that acknowledged he was a cheating weasel after being outed by a Sports Illustrated reporter last month.

"You know, many nights I fell asleep thinking about who I can blame, and this guy, or that guy. And when I woke up I kept coming back to the same person- it's me. I mean there's no one to blame. I hope those 103 names never come out."

Although obviously a calculated public relations strategy orchestrated by A-Fraud's suits, the 12-time All-Star selection with 533 career home runs deserves credit because he spoke like a man that wants to be held solely responsible for the corrupt decisions he has made in his past.

A-Rod’s upstanding and uncharacteristic words were uttered during the same week that controversy continued to follow baseball’s laughingstock.

Last Monday, photos were released in Details magazine of Madonna’s bitch narcissistically/homoerotically tonguing himself in front of a mirror.

If that wasn’t enough fodder for A-Rod detractors, a few days later the Miami native was explicitly linked to banging a former Manhattan madam who supplied whores to Eliot Spitzer.

Rodriguez has been a comedic excuse for a man since he arrived in the Bronx in 2004 and it is not coincidental that the Bombers have in turn continued to digress with the ten-time Silver Slugger Award winner in their lineup.

It is not difficult to predict that the Yankees will never win their 27th title with A-Hole on their roster.

Nevertheless, it is also conceivable that the Bombers, a squad laden with talent, may one day capture their first crown since 2000 in spite of Rodriguez’s cancerous presence in the clubhouse.

In another shocking and unexpected development, the image-obsessed ballplayer claimed to Kay he is cognizant of his rampant unpopularity and he realizes there is little he can do to gain the publics affection.

"Well, I've given up on that; it's just the way it is. I mean, look, I feel right now, that not too many people like me, so I've given up on that,” said lucky No. 13 in a rare instance of candor.

“As long as my teammates like me, and they respect me, and my two daughters love their daddy, I am going to go out and do the very best I can. Look, I really screwed up and for that I'm sorry."

Rodriguez is not the type of individual who I want to support and it’s safe to presume that anybody that articulates the words “love their daddy” will never morph into one I want to cheer for in the future.

Still, we know A-Rod didn’t kidnap and kill Charles Lindbergh’s baby and it is a fair bet that he had zero to do with JonBenet Ramsey’s slaying.

Experiences, good or bad, significantly alter individual’s personalities and demeanors and one can only hope that Rodriguez emerges from his numerous tribulations a better man for having gone through them.

If he does, Alex Rodriguez should be provided with a clean slate and he will be an easier man to support in both life and on the diamond.
