A-Rod Doesn’t Need Steroids To Play This Easy Ass Game

Alex Rodriguez has called Jose Canseco a dirty stinkin’ liar. He’s not the first, and certainly not the last, but last night’s 60 Minutes interview where A-Rod denied ever used steroids flew in the face of Canseco’s no-proof damning of the Yankee.

Rodriguez answered “No” when asked whether he’s ever used steroids, human growth hormone or any other performance-enhancing substance.

But just as you start to feel a bit of sympathy for him for being bullied into a denial, Rodriguez explains why he doesn’t need to use them.

“I’ve never felt overmatched on the baseball field,” he said. “… I felt that if I did my, my work as I’ve done since I was, you know, a rookie back in Seattle, I didn’t have a problem competing at any level.”

Hm, we’ve got a few years of playoff baseball that might dispute that. We know a few Yankee fans that wouldn’t mind Rodriguez doing a cycle of two right before October. At least we know he wouldn’t have to go far to find them.
