IN RESPONSE TO A-ROD’S SUSPENSION FOR PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS, MIKE SAYS: “IT IS OVER FOR HIM…THE ARBITRATOR CAN PICK ANY SET OF GAMES—HE CAN PICK 50, HE CAN PICK 150, HE CAN PICK 211, WHICH TAKES HIM TO 2015. THE COMMISSIONER, I THINK, TOOK THE WISE COURSE HERE IN GIVING ALEX RODRIGUEZ THE OPPORTUNITY FOR DUE PROCESS. HE DOES NOT TURN HIM INTO A VICTIM BY DOING THIS. A-ROD IS SELF-VICTIMIZED. HE DID IT HIMSELF. I THINK PROBABLY WE ARE LOOKING AT THE END OF HIS CAREER…PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS IS A BAD DAY FOR BASEBALL, I CHOOSE TO THINK IT IS A STRONG DAY FOR BASEBALL.” ON MORNING JOE
