K Lo just asked me what I think of the A-Rod/steroids controversy. That’s easy: I am completely unsurprised. I expect the Yankees to cheat.

(Yes, I know A-Rod was technically on the Rangers when when he tested positive for drugs.)

The big issue is what it means for baseball. Barry Bonds corrupted what may have been the most cherished record in the game: the all-time home-run record. I think every baseball fan — even those of us who love to hate the Yankees — was kinda hoping A-Rod eventually would surpass Bonds in the record books, if only to wipe away the stigma of cheating.

So much for that idea.

P.S. A-Rod tests positive for steroids. Faster than you can say “primobolan,” Yankee loyalist Lowry announces intent to move his “sports banter” off The Corner. Coincidence?
