It's one of those things that just seems on its face as a 99% chance its a miserable tire-fire.

How the entirety of this article isn't literally:

PEDs, obviously.

. . .is beyond me.

anybody notice those ads on ESPN called "Rule 661" all about AROD?? Seems like they are MLB ads... I'm surprised they are using him in  promo ads for baseball....

Andrew McCutchen's pay stub

Unless, you're paying them to have him in their lineup to actually hurt their team:

0-4, 1K.  Now 0-2 with RISP.
