"Alex Rodriguez makes more this year than his hometown Florida Marlins."

-- Associated Press story, April 1, 2008

This is pathetic, a travesty, a continuing fraud, a mockery, a duplicity, and a deceit.

After steroids, HGH, PEDs, corked bats, Who-Knows-What-Else? and now this, it's time to seriously analyze my MLB loyalties.

This is a shame.
