jay cOmes clean, kinda

on sept. 10 of this year, here is what wayward O said about jay gibbons:

wayward O wants gibbons to differentiate himself from this sorry lot by standing up in public like a man and giving a full accounting of his cheating ways.

and you could look it up. today we learn that gibbons has done some of that. here is what he tells the baltimore sun:

"I am deeply sorry for the mistakes that I have made," Gibbons said. "I have
no excuses and bear sole responsibility for my decisions. Years ago, I relied on
the advice of a doctor, filled a prescription, charged the hGH, which is a
medication, to my credit card and had only intended to help speed my recovery
from my injuries and surgeries. I hope that my family, teammates, fans and
[Orioles owner] Peter Angelos and the entire Orioles organization will accept my
apologies and that we can all move on."

so now what do we do? well, i think it's best to trade gibbons if some other team will have him. try to sell him as a reclamation project and give him away -- even if it means eating some of his contract.

because while most of what gibbons says is admirable, wayward O wonders about his stated motive for juicing ... and finds it difficult to swallow the notion that jay simply wanted to heal from an injury.
