A-Rod

Alex Rodriguez, he of the .204 batting average and strange idea of what it means to tell the truth, announced he will retire after Friday’s game.  Bye-bye, don’t let the door hit you on the way out, write if you can, or not.  Rodriguez will retire fourth on the all-time homerun list, behind Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. 

Note to Cooperstown:  There are two cheaters on that list.  Don’t let either of them in.  Note to Yankees:  You’re still on the hook to Mr. Rodriguez for the $27 million remaining on his contract this year and next.  Suckers.  What did you say, he’s going to be an advisor imparting wisdom to young players?  Good luck with that.
