Never Mind

From the New York Daily News: 
To paraphrase former President Gerald Ford on the resignation of Richard Nixon, baseball’s long nightmare is over: Alex Rodriguez has finally surrendered to the baseball authorities, has finally conceded his legal fight to overturn his 162-game drug suspension was in vain, has finally decided to cut his losses and just go away.
For this, baseball fans everywhere can only be grateful. Is there anyone in or around the game — owners, executives, players and fans alike — who hasn’t been wearied by this six-month exercise in self-absorption, lies and denial on A-Rod’s part? An exercise in which he and his predator lawyers dragged everyone in their path into court in spite of the fact that he never denied under oath the charges against him and never took the stand in his own defense in front of baseball’s arbitrator, Fredric Horowitz?
So A-Rod goes away now after dropping all his lawsuits against MLB and the players union Friday. Even his vow to attend spring training — all the while he would’ve been suing his fellow players and teammates — has been rescinded. His lawyer, Joe Tacopina, who made a fortune off him with six months of legal sound and fury meaning nothing, confirmed he would not be showing up at Steinbrenner Field.

Good bye and good riddance A-Rod.
