I am one of many Yankee fans who gets upset when our team is on the back pages and the headlines for all the bad reasons. For Example Clemens with his steroids issue. Joba and his DWI, and the Torre book to name a few.
But I don't think anyone saw this coming. SI reports that Alex Rodriguez tested positive for two anabolic steroids in 2003. Curt Schilling, who a few years ago said that if A Rod breaks every major league he will respect him because he is clean. Today on Schillings blog 38 pitches it reads"Shocked you can't be anymore." I hate to agree with a Bosox but he is 100% right.
You want to root for this guy. Like most fans Ihave opened up to A Rod since his arrival in 2004 and was looking for a big year in 2009 and maybe a long postseason run. You have to wonder how many other players are on it. So far there a lot of Yankees who have had a connections to the steroids list.
What I would like to see Alex do is say, "I did not know the anabolic steroids teststerone and methonolone was wrong and say I am sorry. I have or not done that and won't do it again." Will he?
We will have to find out. He does not have to report to camp for over a week. Lets see if he does the right thing. Jose Canseco, who wrote the tell all book "Juiced," is not looking all that wrong right now.

I would have liked to see a real apology. If he wanted to dance around he should have found himself a star and went on TV. As far as I am concerned, he is all about his personal numbers. The last time I checked, baseball is a team sport. Let him go somwhere else if all he wants to do is chase girls and records.
