Alex Rodriguez

, the many lives of A-Rod increased by one.

While the more famous -- or infamous -- A-Rod, a.k.a. Alex Rodriguez, was enjoying a day off while his New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-8 for their 10th win in 11 outings, his moniker received a huge boost in a different sport played on grass overseas.

But how many athletes are genuine? Manny Ramirez? Alex Rodriguez? Brett Farve?

LeBron James walked off the court after the Eastern Conference Finals, didn't shake any Magic player's hands and got a pass by several media members for his poor sportsmanship.

For example, I'd say Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez would be superstars without PED's, and that Mark McGwire probably wouldn't be, but can I truly know for sure? 

Of course I can't.

ry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Andy Pettitte, Jason Giambi, Miguel Tejada, Alex Rodriguez, now.......MANNY RAMIREZ.

It makes sense when you think about it. The baggy uniform. The dreads to cover up his huge head (they all have huge heads). How he erupted last year when he was with the Red Sox and practically mauled a team assistant. How he always used to spend time in the Green Monster and no one would question what he was doing. This brings us to my theory.

Alex "A-Roid" Rodriguez has to be one of the dumbest athletes in modern sports. He's getting paid $33 million per year, as part of a 52-year contract, so he's set for life. Yet he resorts to using steroids. Why? He clearly has it all. He's already on pace to break Bonds' home-run "record." Besides that, he's known as the best offensive hitter in the game, when healthy. The staff and myself racked our brains over why the slugger feels he needed the extra edge. Having been stumped, we came up with 10 reasons why he doesn't need steroids, in hopes of convincing the vain ballplayer to lay off the juice.

1-New York Yankees: 1B-Mark Teixeira, 2B-Robinson Cano, 3B-Alex Rodriguez, SS-Derek Jeter, and C-Jorge Posada.

Last, but certainly not least. It's tough to argue with A-Rod and Tex at the corners -- that's an intimidating tandem. Jeter remains Steady Eddy at short, and Posada is one of the greatest hitting catchers in the history of the game.

This past week we had the coming out party by All-Star third basemen Alex Rodriguez on the issue of his steroid use. Many people were unshocked and eager to attack as this baseball player is th

Andy Pettitte reported on Monday and held a one-hour press conference to discuss his use of HGH and Alex Rodriguez showed up on Wednesday and he was asked questions right away (remember, Jose Canseco and John Rocker both have accused A-Rod of using performance enhancing drugs).  I am here to change the discussion to something much more positive and much more important.  What to do with the amazing Joba Chamberlain?  The Yankees have been saying all off-season that he was preparing to be in the starting rotation but just last week a New York newspaper cited a team source as saying Joba would begin the year in the bullpen and later move into the rotation.  The Yankees then said, again, he was going to prepare all spring to be a starter and they would make their decision closer to the beginning of the season.  This is a decision that could be the key to whether the Yankees make the playoffs or not and it is a very difficult decision to make.
