Listen to what you're saying, part two.

MLB is accused of singling out ARod and putting emotion ahead of prudent, blind justice. Rob Manfred responds by emotionally singling out ARod.

Manfred also inadvertently accuses MLB of either ignorance or injustice:

"Mr. Rodriguez's use of PEDs was longer and more pervasive than any other player, and when this process is complete, the facts will prove it is Mr. Rodriguez and his representatives who have engaged in ongoing, gross misconduct."

Either:

1) MLB knows of a lot of other players who took PEDs and evaded punishment.

2) MLB has no idea how many other players took PEDs.

Scenario #2 is more likely.

But if that is the case, then Manfred shouldn't proclaim with certainty that ARod took more PEDs than Sosa, Dykstra, Canseco, Bonds, and ... most likely ... some AA muck-a-luck catcher who never batted above .250.
