A-Roid and Yankees- so happy together

So I like a fool listened to the Aroid media circus yesterday thinking that perhaps I'd get some kind of answer that might ring true, maybe a little dirt, maybe some heartfelt apology but overall just to see him get grilled by the reporters who were just chomping on the bit to get at him. And then the Yankees ruined it; even before A-roid got to the mike it was announced 'no follow up questions' Honestly is there a more laughable phrase at a press conference? How is a reporter supposed to glean anything at all if they are limited to one question? And lets face it with only one question an answer can be glossed over to the point of being worthless or worse. It was worse than a farce. It was an unmitigated disaster- and oh-by-the-way (quote) "This should have answered all the questions and we can move forward."

I don't think so.

Rodriguez in the press conference in my opinion just sabotaged any chance of him making the hall of fame. Not only did he not answer any 'real' questions he introduces the mysterious 'cousin' tells us he -not pills but injected himself twice a month for THREE YEARS -BUT not only did they not know what they were putting in themselves, they didnt know how to do it, AND he detected no serious improvements outside of a mental placebo. Puleeeease maybe six months, but would you continue something for three years without seeing some result? I sure wouldn't. Then the excuses, 'I was young, I was stupid, I wish I got to go to college so I could grow up normally.' Believe me Alex there are millions on millions of people who wish they could have been you. You had more than enough money to pay somebody to tell you what/ how to take this crap.

He's not a HOF'er anymore, hes A-Roid, A-Fraud or worse. He was given three chances to come clean, (the first being never taken it to start with) then two laughable interviews/question sessions. Three strikes you're out. Those are the rules, its time they are enforced.
