| Summary: | At least that is the way it's portrayed on YES. Or at least when the subject of Yankees and performance-enhancing drugs comes up. Tuesday night in Toronto, Andy Pettitte, another cheater, was on the mound. Was his use of HGH mentioned? On the rare occasion it is, the line on YES is always about how Pettitte, Roger Clemens' workout bobo, didn't weasel. Yeah, when Andy was caught, by golly, he stood up and admitted he was a user. Pettitte took his medicine. YES' blueprint for neglect was created in 2005, shortly after Jason Giambi's testimony to a grand jury was leaked to the San Francisco Chronicle. The Giambalco would step to the plate four times in the 2005 Sunday night opener against the Red Sox. Yet, neither [Michael Kay], Jim Kaat nor Paul O'Neill used the word "steroids" or dealt with Giambi's leaked testimony. How long will it take before Kay calls [David Ortiz] a hypocrite and reports that before he was outed, Big Papi called for a one-year suspension for any player who tested positive for steroids? Also, look for some "analysis" about whether the Yankees' 2004 ALCS tank job was chemically induced by the presence of Ortiz and Manny Ramirez in Boston's lineup. |
