Jason Keidel of CBS Sports is witty and provocative and while I don't always agree with him, I read him everyday... much like Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record. I need it like coffee.
Read Keidel's piece from a few days ago titled "Is Red Sox Slugger David Ortiz World Series MV-PED?"
It is literally everything that Bleeding Yankee Blue has been saying for weeks and months now. Sure, David Ortiz is likable, but he's also just as guilty as Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds and the rest! Jason writes:
"...when the A-Rod Apologist points northward and barks, 'What about David Ortiz?!?!' it’s hard to argue with him. While A-Rod has been the face of the post-Bonds PED era, David Ortiz has cleverly ducked the firewall of finger-pointing, and the TMZ-style lust that has hounded his countryman."
He goes on... and it gets better...
"Just because you’ve got a cheery, cherubic persona, a handmade moniker, a cherished, hopelessly thick accent, are the face of Red Sox Nation, and are the last remnant of the surreal, 2004 season, doesn’t mean you get to swing and wing your way into the Hall of Fame with impunity. If A-Rod, Bonds, Sosa, etc., are banned from baseball’s Hall of Fame, then Papi, no matter how Big, should share their cell."
Yeah... so while Bud Selig is having his own witch hunt with Alex Rodriguez... you can almost suggest that BYB is on it's own, but the difference is we know that Ortiz is guilty, just like the rest of them on that list from 2003 and it appears that other sports writers are right there with us, and being honest about it finally!
Hey Keidel... well done once again.
