The only thing worse would be if Barry Bonds had announced on Monday that he was coming out of retirement.
A-Rod previously admitted to doping from 2001 to 2003, making him a repeat offender. Continuing to fight his banishment means that details of his alleged drug use will almost certainly come out, but that's the risk he wants to take to keep playing, and to keep collecting his huge salary.
And here we thought the prospect of Peralta and Cruz returning from their suspensions in time for possible postseason appearances would be dreadful. It is, of course, but it's nothing like the circus in Chicago: a banished ballplayer, a pariah to MLB, starting a game hours after his extraordinary suspension was announced.
Yes, he is suspended, effective Thursday. But Rodriguez said he will appeal, so he can keep playing, possibly for the rest of the season, depending on when his case goes before an arbitrator.
He's like the guest who stays past midnight at a party that was supposed to end at 10.
