Cheaters Never Win?

Don't whisper a word to the children, but hell yeah, of course they do

To be clear, the Iniquity sources indicate A-Rod was a spectator and not a player. Still, it's evident his "milk and cookies" image was merely masking a "MILF and nookies" reality.

So A-Rod's a swinger and Bonds a juicer and Sosa a corker and I'm a nefarious night owl, and you're the one who spews sanctimonious jeers at all of us before going home and, more often than not, doing the easy thing instead of the right thing. Which is all perfectly OK.

A-Rod, A-Fraud, Stray-Rod-like the rest of baseball's biggest stars, this Yankee Doodle Randy is a cheater.

Because by denying that we're all cheaters, wouldn't we be cheating ourselves?

"MILF and nookies"?!? That's rich. Wouldn't even have been a viable phrase ten years ago. Now with the moral corruption of society we see the moral corruption of an icon. Not truly surprising given the state of celebrity. If we can find one in the midst that honestly has no tarnish, I would like to see them. Everyone has a vice. So I guess you can be proud to be a stone thrower.

Grow the hell up and let the truth set you free. People are bent on winning and having. We penalize the average for being merely normal, and therefore mediocre. We damn the ambitious to eternal hell from the same lips we praise selfish greedy achievers and attainers, willfully ignoring how the celebrated came by their infamous celebrity. The rare talents of the gifted, when not being abused and exploited for monetary gain, go virtually ignored and uncultivated. Thus, the necessity to venture outside the bounds of culturally accepted practice and behavior is born in millions practically every second we all breathe. For the most part, there is far more public indignation for cheating than actual laws against relevant deceit and malfeasance. However, when cheaters finally snag their ratty tails in life's menacing cracks, the judgemental tend to smugly concole themselves with the conceit that GOD's Divine judgement still purposefully exists only to vendicate their righteousness. The only reason the unjustifiably sanctimonious are outraged is not so much born out of ethical boundaries or great morality, but out of resentful fear and loathing. The judgemental secretly envy the cheaters' courage to pursue what everyone wants in life - praise, wealth, and success, sans any hint of stigma or scrutiny. When the righteously indignant are brought to the fork in the road in the valley of the decision to cheat or not to cheat, they look a little more retrospectively at the true price of having what they wanted in life. Cheaters, on the other hand, willingly brave public rebuke and scorn, motivated to have what they want, regardless of the cost or the envious hypocrisy of the covetous, the fearful, the inactive, or the inept. Both the cheaters and the righteously indignant have come to know with certainty that perfecting the human practice of morals and ethics too often reaps NO rewards of mass adulation, prosperity, and wealth, even when coupled with the hardest work and greatest effort. So, yeah, PEOPLE CHEAT!

Sosa's bat corking incident really shouldn't have been included in this story. All of his other bats were immediately confiscated, and no one was corked. Hence, Sammy was apparently telling the truth when he said the corked bat was meant for batting practice only.
