Arod admits to steroids

Wow who could have seen this coming?

Oh wait, I DID!!!!! I've been saying it for years. When anyone would bring up Barry Bonds and steroids, I'd bring up Alex Rodriguez. I'm an SF Giants fan, and often I've found myself having many conversations that have gone something like this:
"How do you feel about Bonds doing steroids?"
I'd reply, "It sucks, but you know what? A lot of other players in baseball also do steroids, he's not the only one. So I don't have a problem with his homerun record."
"Yeah but there's going to be an Astrix with his record."
"Well then there should also be one for Arod because that guy definitely uses steroids as well." And people would be surprised that I would say that. Well a few weeks ago I was proven right. I've always been a big baseball fan so I get bummed when I hear about this crap. But what do you expect from a sport that claims to have a strong policy on drugs but then only gives players a slap on the wrist. Either baseball will clean up it's act or we'll get used to it. And yes I'm a little happy to see Arod give the proverbial finger to all those people who didn't believe me and thought he was clean.

One more thing, it takes more than lots of muscle to be a great hitter in baseball.
