"Catch the Taste!"


Whoa.

MLB Baseball is quickly becoming the new NFL football for being in the news for everything other than game highlights and the sport itself. The continuation of players being called out on Steroid abuse and players admitting said Steroid abuse (Alex 'A-Rod' Rodriguez) and the continuing pathetic saga of Jose Canseco and his tell all book have riddled the news wire as of late.

The most intriguing story of baseballs past hero's (or anti hero's depending on the city you live in) is that of former Blue Jay, Padre, and Baltimore Oriole 2nd baseman Roberto Alomar and his quest to spread disease across the nation. Alomar is involved in a nasty law suit by an ex-girlfriend who is suing the former baseball star for knowingly being HIV positive and having unprotected sex with her for several years.

"The lawsuit, filed Jan. 30 and transferred to U.S. District Court on Wednesday, contains accusations that could not be corroborated but portray Alomar as someone who demanded sex without a condom despite showing obvious signs of HIV.

Ilya Dall is seeking at least $15 million in punitive damages from the 41-year-old former infielder. Alomar spent 17 years in the majors and was one of the game's great second basemen."

The two began dating in 2002 where Dall had asked Alomar several times to get tested after showing obvious signs of having HIV (severe fatigue, sores on his mouth and throat, a constant cough and an infection of the esophagus that is associated with AIDS.) After giving in, Alomar tested positive and was diagnosed with full blow AIDS.

Think of all the baseball groupies right now that are lined up at the hassle free clinic.

I am going right after work.

I'm insensitive I know. That's why you love me.
