Ugggggggggh I listened to HOURS of Joe Morgan and Chris Berman’s idiocy and Bobby Valentine’s sleeping potion voice, I listened to ARod panting after Mark Teixeira, I had to watch Nick ‘The Worst Human Being’ Swisher on my tv screen, and after all that I was rewarded by watching David Ortiz, whom I adore, ruin his home run swing for the rest of the season, and after all of THAT I had to watch his touching tribute to Jose Lima get shot down by ESPN. I HATE EVERYTHING INVOLVED IN THIS.

But how unfortunate and wrong that the awful stigma of rape is forever attached to Santana — even though there’s no evidence he committed any crime.

But nearly eight months after the encounter supposedly took place, and half a year after detectives and Florida prosecutors decided there was no basis for going forward? That fishy smell isn’t a stench left over from the Shea Stadium plumbing. There is a story here, but it’s not about an athlete and rape. It’s about leaks, and agendas, and the goalposts being moved on how we report things, and why.
