Rocker rears his head

Just when you think you've seen the last of John Rocker, he appears out of nowhere.

Nearing the end of baseball's most sordid offseason, Rocker decides its time to make an appearance.

Face it, this guy has been less than an afterthought since he flamed out of the big leagues in a wave of incendiary, racist and sexist comments published in Sports Illustrated.

After that story appeared in SI, Rocker met with commissioner Bud Selig. According to Rocker, Selig then knew Rocker was on steroids and did nothing about it.

There could be plenty of credence to Rocker's claim. His appearance was one of the "typical" steroid user. Bulked up; given to fits of wild rage, etc, etc.

Baseball has enough trouble to deal with already without this guy sticking his nose back in it. Listen, John, go join your good friend and fellow steroid user Jose Canseco on another season of "The Surreal Life" and leave the rest of us alone.
