I normally kill this guy for being an "Egotistical Maniac" (he still is), but I have to give him credit. Mike Francesca was fed up with what he was reading in the paper so he went to the source, or as he says it "sauce". He just asked Bill Madden to put his money where his pen and mouth are and Madden folded like a house of cards.
When asked why the focus on ARod, Maddens answer was because he was the worst offender of the current "Steroid Era". So after some bickering back and forth, Big Mike asked why ARod was worse then Braun. Brain ruined a guys life last year and ARod has only ruined his. Bill had nothin. He asked what ARod did that was worse then everyone else that took steroids. Bill had nothin. He asked why is ARod getting killed when his name came out on the "102 anonymous" list and he did the right thing and admitted he did steroids but Ortiz, the only other guy that got leaked off that list, said I didn't so it and is a God. Bill had nothin. Big Mike then asked if MLB is serious about cleaning up the game and the players are serious about cleaning up the game why don't we get to know the other names on that list so we don't wonder who used or who we should or shouldn't put into the hall of fame cause they used. Bill again had nothin.
Bill also is accusing ARod's camp of conspiring to commit insurance fraud. He reports that ARod was willing to take a 100 game suspension and retire after that on the PUP list to collect his money from the insurance company. ARod's camp had denied this.
If this isn't a witch hunt then I don't know what is. I've said this a million times and I will say it again. Everyone hates him for making so much money from baseball and that's not his fault. He asked and a team gave it to him. If your boss offered you a million dollars a year to do your job, you wouldn't turn it down or say no that's ok I feel as though 100k a year is what I should make.
And don't feel sorry for the Yankees. I'm a Yankee fan and I have a question to ask that you should give yourself an honest answer too. If the Yankees got out of ARod's contract tomorrow, do
You think they would lower their ticket prices? Their concession Prices? Their merchandise prices? If your answer is No then what do you care what they are paying him. And if you don't care what they are paying him then let me know a better third baseman out of the 10 that have played their this season you want to see everyday and not ARod.
I'm not saying he didn't use PED's or Steroids. I'm also not saying he shouldn't be punished for that. What I am saying is I'm pretty sure everyone else got 50 games. Braun, who ruined a guys life last year by accusing him of tainting his failed test, got 65 and ARod got 211. Anyway you look at it, that math doesn't add up. Or is Bud Selig using the same calculator to get that number that he used to count the money he made when baseball was saved by Steroids in '98 with a homerun race that brought fans, revenue, and life back into a dying game? Maybe who know. "If you live in a glass home, you shouldn't throw stone"
