Mets good, Yankees bad.

"Understand: Just because Galea likes human growth hormone doesn't mean that Reyes does.

...

And just because Reyes now has a problem with his thyroid gland, and is in New York City for sophisticated testing on it, does not mean those problems were caused by any kind of synthetic drug in his system.

...

'Good medicine is about eliminating possible causes,' Dr. Lewis Maharam - a doctor of sports medicine who has made sense about performance-enhancing drugs for years - said yesterday. 'It's about differentials, making a list of possibilities and then eliminating them one by one. But there is a possibility that human growth hormone could cause a spike of thyroid hormone levels.' "

Okay, I agree with you. No need to prosecute a person without due process. But the evidence grows that Jose Reyes is a cheater and this doesn't bother you at all. Because Jose Reyes is a Met.


"There was a time not so long ago when Reyes was supposed to be the shortstop from the NL East who seemed to be the best bet to be MVP. It turned out to be Jimmy Rollins instead. Rollins and the Phillies then won a World Series and Derek Jeter and the Yankees won a World Series."

It's Lupica Journalism.

Lupica says something ignorant. That ignorant statement becomes the "supposed to." Worse, Lupica roots for his pre-conceived scenario.

So it's not journalism at all. It's making predictions and keeping score. Not what happened, but what is gonna happen and what shoulda happened.


"You know what's really going to chafe the people running the New York Yankees?

If A-Rod went to see Dr. Tony Galea, blood-spinner to the stars, and told them he didn't."

Why would that chafe the people running the New York Yankees?

I just read an entire article about Jose Reyes's connection to Galea in which Reyes was completely let off the hook.

That article was written by you.
