The only thing worse would be if Barry Bonds had announced on Monday that he was coming out of retirement. A-Rod is facing a suspension through the 2014 season, the longest for a player in Major League Baseball history except for the lifetime bans handed out to former Cincinnati Red Pete Rose and the players involved in the 1919 Black Sox scandal. Yet Rodriguez started at third base on Monday night in Chicago, where the Yankees played the White Sox. A-Rod certainly has the right to go to arbitration to try to get his suspension reduced or overturned, even though MLB, in announcing his suspension, said he was guilty of doping over the "course of multiple years" and also engaged in a "cover-up" designed to "obstruct and frustrate" the league's investigation into the Biogenesis scandal. A dozen other Biogenesis Boys, including big names such as Detroit Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta and Texas Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, agreed to serve their 50-game punishments. A 13th, Ryan Braun, accepted a 65-game suspension two weeks ago. But A-Rod? Oh no, not A-Rod. We might be done with him, but he's certainly not done with us. We simply get to bounce from one A-Rod soap opera to another, from the Biogenesis saga to his upcoming arbitration follies.
