Don't worry, i'm not about to go out and buy pinstripes or anything. I'm still dedicated to those loveable heartbreakers in Flushing that always seem to let me down each year. But of there is one positive that comes out of this whole Mitchell thing is that A-Rod wasn't on the list.
Dare I say that A-Rod, of all people, can save baseball? The most coveted record in all of sports is the career home run record. Too bad Barry Bonds holds the record. But there's a revolution happening in the Bronx and it's only a matter of time before A-Rod is king.
Since A-Rod's name wasn't on the Mitchell Report, even a devout Yankee hater like me has to root for A-Rod to break Bonds's record and inject a little more legitimacy back into the game. Even if he's a jerk, cheats on his wife and is a bad teammate, you can't help but think "at least he's not a cheater".
So I say "Go A-Rod" but I also say "Down with the Yankees". Hopefully A-Rod breaks the record without helping the Yankees do anything of significance.

Maybe I need to reiterate something here. First off, I said that it SEEMED like half the players mentioned in the report were Yankees (please see 2nd paragraph). Next, the point I was making about Francessa and Kay is that because of their well known allegiances to the Yankees, their criticism of the report must be taken with a grain of salt. Once a number of Yankees appeared in the report, anyone could have predicted that they would criticize it. The question we have to ask ourselves is is this criticism due to inherant flaws in the report or because it smears the Yankees? I believe that even if the report was flawless, they would still have the same things to say because of their allegiances to the Yankees.
