  A-Rod: No on 'roids, Eh on Boras
Some weeks ago, there was discussion on this board about whether Scott Boras had mishandled A-Rod's contract negotiations with the Yankees. (I thought that this episode was Boras' first big mistake, others disagreed.)

Now A-Rod comes out and says that Boras screwed up:

A-Rod clearly was upset at the advice of Boras to opt out and the way it became public during Game 4 of the World Series. "I was angered, upset, shocked, in disbelief," Rodriguez said. "It was like a bad nightmare."

He also says, by the by, that he's never used steroids.....
 
Comments:
one wonders, if he's so upset with boras, why doesn't he just fire him? this doesn't pass the smell test -- just like his denial of using steroids.
 
I'll agree that it's somewhat A-Rod-esque to want to have things both ways. On the other hand, I believe him on the steroids front. He's always been an all-around athlete, great in the field and at the plate, unlike, say, Mark McGwire or David Ortiz. And he's never looked like he uses steroids.
