Is Selig Serious?

From the NY Daily News:

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig came out roaring Wednesday, putting Alex Rodriguez on notice that the Yankee third baseman's admitted performance-enhancing drug use may not go unpunished.

In an interview with USA Today, Selig was asked if he would consider suspending the three-time American League MVP after Rodriguez told ESPN on Monday that he had juiced from 2001 through 2003 when he played for the Rangers.

"It was against the law, so I would have to think about that," Selig told the paper. "It's very hard. I've got to think about all that kind of stuff."

"He's open to everything. That doesn't mean he can do everything. He's keeping all options open," MLB spokesman Rich Levin told the Daily News, referring to Selig.

Regardless of how wrong Rodriguez was to cheat, and cheat consistently for three years, he shouldn't be suspended. These tests were conducted with an agreement that they would remain anonymous, and players who tested positive would not be punished.

Also, why would he suspend A-Rod, but not Giambi or Pettitte? Both of them admitted using steroids? What kind of weasel would he be if only a year later he decides to punish A-Rod for doing the exact same thing?

Selig mentioned that A-Rod broke the law, which is true, but is he really prepared to suspend Alex Rodriguez because broke the law six years ago?

What about Joba Chamberlain? He got a DUI this past offseason, is he going to be suspended?

What about any player who has broken a law in the last decade? Is he going to suspend all of them?

And once again, what about Giambi and Pettitte?

The commissioner should stop worrying about possibly punishments for A-Rod and focus more on writing up a resignation letter. After all, he is to blame for this. It was under his watch that steroids took over baseball, and all he did was look the other way. The league was making money, that's all he cared about.
