A-Rod wins MVP, about to get a big raise. Amid the sturm und drang, it all makes sense. Plus: Houston scores second, wins MLS Cup.
  • Hey WES

    I don't know if you're onto anything there with your innuendo, but it reminded me of something I was thinking about over the summer (right around Bonds breaking The Record That Shall Not Be Broken).

    Wouldn't it be an amazing PR move, as well as a stupendously great bargaining chip for A-Rod, or any elite hitter for that matter, to make a big deal of taking a voluntary blood test, and keeping it in storage...so they can test it with whatever tests they come up with in the future to find HGH or whatever?

    It would be like saying "I'm 100% clean, You never have to worry about me tainting The Game like Mr. Bonds over there...How much money is that worth to ya? Wouldn't you like me, the undisputed Home Run Champion of all-time to be on your team when I do it?"

    I'm sure the Player's Union would have a problem with that though - not to mention it probably messes around with the whole concept of innocent until proven guilty.

    But still, can you imagine the press? It would be pretty cool.
