Second glass of juice

So A-Rod confessed to using steroids.

Jason Giambi threw himself on that sword, sort of, and his problem, if there was one, went away. I say it was overshadowed by his absolute idiocy on the baseball, but whatever ...

Andy Pettitte admitted to using HGH to “recover from an injury.” Don’t hear much about that these days.

A-Rod was probably hoping for a similar pass. “Oh, he admitted it. Well, OK, everyone was doing it, so it’s fine Alex, we forgive you.”

I went from A-Rod hater to A-Rod apologist and back to A-Rod hater in these last seasons. But I give him some credit for admitting he used. Despite his previous denial. He told Katie Couric he didn’t need enhancers, and that fact is, that’s true. Whatever is his motivation, he used and now he’s saying he used. If he’s clean now, and we assume he is based on clean tests and fewer home runs - 40-ish compared to 50-ish during “the juice years,” he deserves the same treatment Giambi and Pettitte received.
