An Apology

After watching Alex Rodriguez's press conference today, I was disappointed that he read a prepared statement during the first half. This event was an attempt to get his side of the story out while also trying to convince the court of public opinion that he is sorry for using poor judgment. While the first half did not come across as sincere -especially the long pause when addressing his teammates - the question and answer session was much better. For the first time it appeared as though he opened up and was himself.

One thing is for sure, Alex is sorry. The debate will rage on if this is because Selena Roberts broke the story or because he used poor judgment when deciding to try Primobolan. There is only one person that knows the answer. I hope that his explanation will prove to be enough, that there are no more skeletons in the closet, and the press can go back to reporting on the happenings taking place between the foul lines rather than between players and hypodermic needles.
