Raffy The Rat Bastard
I'm sure you've all read this but if you haven't take a look at this article on ESPN.
So not only is he a cheat, he's a rat bastard. Wow, this guy went from upstanding citizen to the biggest rat this side of Jose Canseco. At least Jose made some loot of of it.
Considering that this guy had a rep for boning teammates girlfriends and wives...I'm not surprised that this guy has become a rat.
And to implicate Tejada? One of the better lockeroom guys out there isn't going to help his image, either. Granted Tejada has been linked to steroids by Canseco and I've heard from friends of mine that he's probably not drinking "soda water". But like Giambi, players like him and his energy. Unless you have proof, you better shut up.
He's not playing again this year. And I don't think he'll ever play again. He's a pariah now. Forget about the Hall. Pete Rose and Joe Jacksonwill get in before Raffy even gets to sniff Coooperstown. And deservedly so.
Take a look at his stats. This is a guy that could only hit a high of 14 homers in a full season playing half his games at Wrigley Field. Ironically his stats jump when he heads to Texas. You want to talk about the Gulf-Streams that make the ball jump out of the park in Arlington fine. But you can't attribute jumping from 14 to 30 plus homers a year to gulf streams. And this was also around the time that he was teammates with Jose Canseco. 2+2....
Good riddance....
