I did the same thing when I was a child.

I can come clean now, but, when I was in fourth grade through sixth grade, I handed in the same report on "How Nuclear Energy Works" three years in a row:

Mike Lupica on Sunday: "A-Rod's cheating - he says it was only when he was with the Rangers - isn't really an issue at all with the Yankees, with their fans, with Major League Baseball, with anybody.

Why? Because he's a winner now, that's why. We've been over this. He's a big winner Yankee."

I was kind of wondering why Lupica was hassling ARod in the first place while ignoring Ivan Rodriguez, Edgardo Alfonzo, Troy Glaus, Chipper Jones, Shawn Green, Adrian Beltre, David Ortiz, Randy Velarde, Mike Piazza ...

In fact, in the same article, Lupica actually praises David Ortiz.

So please don't pretend you're anti-steroid. You're anti-ARod. There's a difference, pal.

Mike Lupica on Thurdsay: "And you have to say that people have become a lot more forgiving about A-Rod when he had one of the great and most dramatic postseasons in Yankee history and helped carry them on his back to World Series title No. 27."

Yes, I agree. That's because nobody was ever angry about steroids in the first place. It's retro-fitting their anger. Andy Pettitte is still one of the Core Four Good Guys while Roger Clemens is still an enemy.


Mike Lupica on Wednesday: "We are expected to believe that while Galea may have been treating other professional athletes from baseball and football with HGH and Actovegin, our guys from New York would never have allowed that to happen with them because, well, that would be wrong, wrong, wrong.

We're supposed to trust them on this, because, hey, they're our guys."

That's the same article three times in a row. Basically, the same article three times in five days. Copied and pasted.

Sir, you get an incomplete.
