Random Thoughts (February 11, 2009)

I really don't care that Alex Rodriguez took steroids from a baseball standpoint. So many players were on the juice in his era that I don't agree with the media's rush to paint A-Rod (as well as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Jose Canseco, and Mark McGwire) as the poster boys for a lost generation of America's pastime. I think that one day, the records that were set during this era will be recognized as the product of a drug-crazy society but they will have their place in baseball history and the A-Rod's, Bonds', and Clemens' of the world will get there place in Cooperstown. My problem with the steroid guys is that they have broken federal law by taking what they took and they should be in jail... By the way, could A-Rod have been anymore disingenuous with Peter Gammons... Round One of UNC-Duke tonight. Make sure to watch UConn-Syracuse too... I'm hurting over the ACL injury of one of my all-time favorite Celtics (non-championship division), Al Jefferson. Big Al was continuing his ascension when his season ended. For those Celtics fans who hurled themselves at the bandwagon last winter, please remember that without Jefferson, the Celtics would not have landed Kevin Garnett... Manny Ramirez is still looking for work... Enjoy Psycho T tonight...
