"...Judge Me From This Day Forward."

That was how Alex Rodriguez ended his presser today to address his now admitted steroid use. The truth is, he will be judged. And harshly.

Even if he hits .300 with 50 homers and 135 RBI, he'll still be labeled as a steroid cheater. Just like Roger Clemens, just like Mark McGwire, and just like Sammy Sosa are now branded. Oh, we'll judge you from this day forward, more brutally and with a spotlight more glaring than you could ever imagine.

Despite what McGwire prattled off to Congress four years ago - "I'm not here to talk about the past." - the American public still does. In his case, and Rodriguez', we certainly won't forget the past either.
