It would be easier for all concerned if you just moved on instead of constantly talking about how much you have moved on.

You seriously sound like a girl who got stood up for the prom.

Mike, maybe ARod just isn't that into you:

"This wasn’t about Alex Rodriguez, who threw it all away, who is the past in baseball whether he drags himself through another season — or two, or three — or not."

Matt Harvey pitching 2 innings in Spring Training?

It sure wasn't about ARod.

Only a fool would link the two things.


"This wasn’t about a single to left from Rodriguez the other day in his first spring training game, or about how many cheers he got as opposed to boos, or these apologies of his, which are about nothing and mean nothing."

Nobody said it was.


"This wasn’t about a single to left from Rodriguez the other day in his first spring training game, or about how many cheers he got as opposed to boos, or these apologies of his, which are about nothing and mean nothing."


Matt Harvey's Spring Training pitches also wasn't about cinnamon raisin bread, so here is a recipe.


By the way, is there some huge pro-ARod apology camp?

Are there people who think the apology meant something?

There are a lot of Yankee fans who will gladly embrace him if he's productive. Which is why they cheered a single. Get ready for them to boo pop ups, strike outs, GIDPs, fielding errors ... if that will satisfy you.

But I haven't heard anyone who thought the latest apology was meaningful.


"That is Matt Harvey. He pitched again for the Mets on Friday afternoon, for the first time since August of 2013, and just the two innings and 25 pitches he threw were so much better and more exciting than anything Rodriguez will do all spring."

Well, it's 25 pitches and 2 innings in Spring Training.

Will that be more exciting than anything ARod does this spring?

I'd say yes, that is probably true.

I know there's not much else to write about at this time, but it's like asking if Police Academy 5 was better than Police Academy 6.


"You put that kind of arm against Rodriguez’s first tired swings of what might turn out to be his last baseball spring, and you know there is nothing to discuss, other than the present and the future trumping the past in sports, the way they always have."

Please.

I beg you.

There is nothing to discuss, just like you said.

Stop obsessing about Alex Rodriguez.


"He went away because he got hurt. Rodriguez? You know why he went away. He was Matt Harvey once, just with a bat in his hands and making plays at shortstop. Now he is just hanging on. He is a bit player who used to be somebody. A sideshow. Matt Harvey is the show."

Anything less than a Cy Young Award and a World Series title would be a disappointment.


Two more references to Alex Rodriguez and we're finished for today's article.

That's not bad for an addict.

Only three references to ARod, the washed-up player you totally care nothing about. Don't care about ARod at all.

Say, did ARod say anything about me the last time you spoke with him? Not that I even care.
