They Really, Really Don't Like Him


 And all this time I thought New York protects its own.  I read an NYT editorial yesterday that all but called Alex Rodriguez a Donald Trump clone.  A-Rod “was long exposed as a liar and a cheat, and was barred for all of the 2014 season for doping.”  Ouch.  Too bad the Times’ bars its sportswriters from HOF voting.  They’d make a formidable anti A-Rod bloc.

Or not.  Until recently, the Times employed a columnist who could never bring himself to condemn Barry Bonds for that very same “doping.”  Talk about someone who conflated “not-guilty” with “innocent.”  Well, that fellow’s retired now, and times seem to have changed at the Gray Lady.  What’s a little pun after the bad joke that was Alex Rodriguez?
