    ..."a lot of you guys"?...who?...not me.

    ...one person made a reference to being a "despicable" person...no need to lump others in with that statement.

    Didn't mean to lump you in there, I'll reserve judgement for a single person calling people out for not agreeing with his/her stance. My comment was just based on the high moral standards around here.

    I agree, if there's no way you can root for Arod, it's got to be impossible to support a sport that knowing employs so many lower life forms. I can't, but I'm an enigma in this case because like baseball did through the 90s and early 2000s I'm willing to look the other way a bit for PED users.

    ...bern, the ironically funny thing about my situation is that unfortunately, I don't have a choice as to whether he plays or not...but even though I refuse to cheer for ARod, if he fails without my support, I win...if he does well without my support, I still win.
    ...that's the approach I have been forced into accepting. Yes, I have accepted it, but I don't have to like it. :bgrin:

    But Bern, are you really rooting for A-Rod as an individual or are you actually rooting for the Yankees to win at any cost. Even if that means they're being assisted by an asshole from time to time.

    They're one in the same if you ask me. Arod comes up with second and third in a big spot. What are you rooting for? A strikeout? Pumping your fist as he walks to the dugout?
