A-Rod saga

I didn't care if I ever saw Alex Rodriguez in a Major League uniform again but rules are rules and he is allowed to play while he appeals.  A-Rod came back and it sparked the Yankee offense which is good for multiple reasons, some of which are the team is winning and his 25 teammates are probably the only friends he has right now.  Not even all of his teammates might agree with him but he's their teammate and there going to support him in the clubhouse.  Its pretty bad when your own teams general manager wont talk to you anymore.  None of the players he's playing against should have a real problem with him playing while he appeals, since all of the players are part of the union and the rules say first time offenders can play while they appeal.   We won't know anything concrete about him or his suspension until after the season, so right now we have to sit back relax and try to not believe all of the stories coming out all the time.  I am not sure how much evidence about PEDs and his involvement in the biogenesis clinic baseball has but I hear its a lot and we'll have to wait and see about the suspension, if I was to guess the suspension might get reduced from 211 to 150-180 games.  Whenever his appeal is heard, and it probably won't be until after the season his career will probably be over, he's 38 now and after being suspended for most of if not all of next season, i don't think he's going to be able to try a get it going aging at 39 1/2.  If I continue hear A-rod say that he is not going to talk about biogenesis anymore and that when the time is appropriate we'll have a forum to sit down and talk about it I am going to stop watching his interviews, I want to know when this time is that he's going to talk about all this.
