    Screw this asshole Bud, Schedule the Public Beheading!

    TRENTON, NJ -- Embattled New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez's mindset is to fight any suspension and return to the majors as soon as possible.

    "His attitude right now is all he wants to do is play and fight this to the end," said a person with direct knowledge of Rodriguez's thought process.

    The commissioner's office is still deciding what punishment to mete out to Rodriguez. While there was a hope to have any suspensions or banishment completed by Friday, the new goal is now Monday, a source told Outside The Lines' T.J. Quinn.

    In the meantime, Rodriguez, 38, continues to rehab from his offseason hip surgery and Grade 1 quad strain. Rodriguez was in the Double-A Trenton Thunder lineup on Friday, batting second and playing third base.

    The Thunder expected around 150 media members, which is more than 10 times what the team usually has. The team said the game was a sellout. Rodriguez is expected to play a second rehab game for the Thunder on Saturday night.

    If Rodriguez were able to make it through both rehab games feeling well, then, barring a suspension, Rodriguez could return to the Yankees as soon as Sunday. The Yankees have declined to outline his schedule past Saturday.

    Major League Baseball and Rodriguez's representatives have talked about a possible settlement, but Rodriguez's side has not deemed anything palatable.

    If they bring this Human Circus up on Sunday the distraction to the team will be the final straw.

    The Yankees aren't bringing him up in San Diego. MLB is going to bring down the hammer on this bullshit.

    Absolutely correct. They should announce the suspensions and be done with it. Why the hell are they negotiating with cheaters?
