"E", I'm sorry to stain your blog with this, but seeing as how this topic is (unfortunately) going to be the topic de jure from now through the rest of the baseball season, I thought I might as well get it started.

If anyone is shocked or surprised by this, they shouldn't be. Once again the great game that is baseball has another black eye. For all of those pundits who couldn't wait for A-Rod to break the HR record so that baseball wouldn't have to deal with the Barry Bonds legacy, I have one word to say: "Asterisk."
