When the I’m best is when I go give everything and not try to be too fine. I think I did a good job of that from the third inning on.”"</i> Seems like he's still finding his way between "empty the tank, blow them away" and "nice and easy, save your stuff".

These allegations are based on unnamed club house workers. In other words, it's a hatchet job designed to sell books, not report facts. Roberts has been hounding Arod since the slumlord article in the NY Times. This book is basically her meal ticket…I guess as long as publishers and magazines like SI will pay her to put out smut, I can’t blame her for cashing in. [400] Libel suits are a lost cause. It's one of the prices of free speach. [399] Her “big finding” was illegally leaked information. These allegations are based on unnamed club house workers.

She can write that A-Rod sold secrets to the K.G.B and I'd believe it at this point. I don't care about roids, I don't care that A-Rod took it during the Yanks, I just care that he come back and help the Yanks win, but I won't defend a person with so many internal demons.

In other words, Roberts is a hack and SI has officially descended into the world of gutter journalism. I am glad I already scratched them off my list of reputable sources.
