Pressure to get suspensions over with before the playoffs could force an end to negotiations in baseball's latest drug scandal. MLB is expected to announce its suspensions on Monday, according to WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman.
No one is shedding a tear for A-Rod. Whether he misses 150 games or two seasons, engages himself in a long, bitter legal fight or finds himself with a Pete Rose-like lifetime ban, it doesn't matter. His reputation cannot be restored.

Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte has never finished a season with a losing record in his 17-year playing career.
Whenever Alex Rodriguez speaks, we listen, and his latest quote is guaranteed to dominate the headlines.
"If (A-Rod's team is) going to fight this thing like they claim they're going to," Madden told WFAN radio, "then it's going to get very ugly."
