This really is not news.

"The news that Alex Rodriguez has confessed to routine performance-enhancing drug use probably means we’ve eliminated the last person who might have believed in his innocence, the existence of witch hunts and the over-aggressiveness of Bud Selig: that person being Alex Rodriguez himself."

ARod is guilty.

Selig was over-aggressive with ARod.

It never even occurred to me that these two observations were mutually exclusive.

  
My evidence that Selig was over-aggressive with ARod?

• The penalties given to every other guilty MLB player. 
• The guilty former players who work for MLB. 
• The endless list of guilty players -- past and present -- who received no penalty.

It's not even a question of if, it's a question of why.

But we know why.
