CATAPULT THE PROGOGANDA

An A-Rod update since my last post: after a spate of waffling that made William Jefferson Clinton look like Kennesaw Mountain Landis, Alex Rodriguez (Dominican, maybe American, none of the above, red-blooded American, in chronological order) has now finished his masterpiece by blasting the press for making him look indecisive.

Nice.

Meanwhile, reliable kook (and M. Rowicky doppelganger) Ozzie Guillen skewers A-Rod for the spectacle, moaning, "He's not a Dominican!"

Actually, he is.

Well, no he isn't.

Well, he is. Sort of. I mean, no, he's an American. I mean.....

Thought of the day:

The late Effa Manley, co-owner of the Negro League's Newark Eagles along with her husband Abe, has just become the first woman elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. One of Manley's contributions to her players and the greater Civil Rights movement: an Anti-Lynching day at the ballpark.

They sure don't do promos like they used to.
