* Another example of timing being everything

February 9, 2009

So what do you think: will the reports of A-Rod on steroids help the sale of Joe Torre’s book? Not that it needs much in the way of a push, according to this piece in the New York Daily News.

A suspicious person would wonder about the timing of the announcement. After all, it’s been six years since the tests were taken. How does the information just happen to leak out now?

Perhaps more important than Torre book sales, what will this mean for Richard Ben Cramer’s forthcoming biography on Rodriguez? If Cramer could publish a not-so-complimentary look at beloved Yankee hero Joe DiMaggio, what will he do to A-Rod?

Those that hate A-Rod are having a field day with all this.  Those who are on the fence might me tipping  away from him. Those who support him no doubt see this as a conspiracy.

At this point, I’m more interested in who leaked the info to the press — and why — than whether he did or did not take the drugs.
