i love the way colin cowherd keeps attacking Big papi Ortiz for his steroid use.
"So, you're going to get better than you were 5 years ago, and your name was on the mitchell report, but nobody wants to talk about it..."
He says that about 5 times every show.
That's because there have recently been a couple articles by baseball writers trying to give Ortiz a pass, or questioning his cheating.
So the guy with the large weight gain from his rookie year, the dramatic increase in power, the one with ties Angel Presinal who has been tied to numerous steroid related issues, the guy who has put qualifiers in the press how he may have taken steroids unknowingly, who had mysterious heart papi-tations that sidelined him, who had resurgence of power/production at age 37, and oh, yeah - failed the drug test in 2003.
This is the guy people are giving the benefit of the doubt, while ARod and the others are vilified. Not to mention his on field outbursts, storming a manager's press conference because he was unhappy the way a hit was ruled.....
He just gets keeps getting a pass.
