Today's "Yeah, Right" award, normally reserved for the Bush Adminstration, goes to Pete Rose, who is now claiming that he had no idea that his book and four million interviews in which he admits to betting on baseball, including his own team, would possible cause a distraction from the Hall of Fame announcements. Surely, it's a total accident. Pete is shocked and horrified that he might be seen as deliberately and manipulatively overshadowing two men whose fecal matter ranks higher than him on a moral scale. Really.
