I truly apologize for the comments above, the previous four.

I can say that I got your email and now reflect poorly upon my chosen words towards the Italian-American Sports Columnist that also writes on this blog.

No disrespect was meant towards Mr. Borden.

All hail Borden!

All hail Abraham!

I’m going to bed before I get in more trouble!

Wow, the range of expressions on A-Rod’s face as he read his statement was fascinating.

Grimaces, frowns, squints (I’d start worrying about his eyesight, folks)...

Personally, I think he just dug himself (and everyone else he mentioned: Gene Orza, his cousin) a deeper hole.

Picky picky. It appears that I and the majority of others polled are satisfied with what we heard today:

I for one think he was as sincere as he has ever been, or ever will be.
He handled himself well, he took his time and I believe him.
The complete facts, however, might be lost forever.
I am inclined to believe that a character like A-Rod can actually change in such a fundamental way over such a long time frame that they cant put themselves back in that former self and explains that persons actions.
It might still be some denial, but the real A-Rod talked today.

The positives here could hopefully become equal in proportion to the negative. He can become the face of all things anti-steroids! The spokesperson Baseball desperately needs. He could even lead the way to other players coming forward, the recipe for getting it over with is all laid out(short truth in controlled atmosphere followed by giant tent press conference where every stone is turned til it gets boring)!

And he will undoubtedly have a fantastic season, for himself, for the fans, for the Yankees and ultimately for the skeptics and the supporters of erasing his numbers.
I believe this is as good (or bad) as it is going to be.

Sam, I love your stuff.

It’s a shame though that Carp can’t act like a professional and refrain from using the immature/Tabloidesque “A-Roid” nonsense.

This was the equivalent of Arod hitting that Baltimore chop at fenway a couple of years back.

He’ll clain he got the job done but everyone else will think of how much better he could have done.

I get the feeling this is not over. Really, Arod and the Yanks bungled this opportunity.
