3. S'okay, we can mourn together.
It's unfortunate that this won't be an 'official' Series; ie, the Yankees are playing in it.

9. Unfortunately, I've LIVED the history
Attended my first game in Fenway in 1953 - saw Mantle, Maris, Berra, Whitey Ford, et al shame the Red Sox all those years, and have suffered through 1967 (Bob Gibson), 1975 (the Big Red Machine), 1986 (Buckner), Bucky Dent, and last year's Grady Little/Forest Gump horror.

You can't really appreciate UP until you've been way DOWN.

8. yeah- my friends and I were trying out disparaging nicknames
such as "Pay-Rod" but we finally decided just to replace the word "asshole" in day-to-day conversation with the word "A-Rod".

Allow me to exampleize:

"Don't be such a fucking A-Rod!"

"That guy was a total A-Rod."

"I forgot to call, and now she thinks I'm a total A-Rod..."

or the eventual:

"You know who's REALLY a fucking A-Rod? Alex Rodriguez, the baseball player."

11. Has A-Hole been punished yet for this?

His cheating, not his sartorial taste.

12. He'll be punished next season
Instead of making $25,000,000 he'll only get $24 mil.

14. Nahhh, and he shouldn't be
I'm as big a Yankee hater as there is, but A-Rod was called out on the play. End of story. No further punishment or penalty will be imposed, nor is it necessary.

16. And yet Ken Lay goes free...
Sorry, but any middle- or lower-class worker trying to cheat usually gets socked, if not sacked.

A-Hole does not deserve a free pardon. And $1 mil to him is what $10 is to me.

15. And the point of this is...what, exactly?
The dubiousness of A-Rod's actions in that game aside, this PS job says way more about the person who did it than it does about A-Rod.

Just...heh.
