Kenny Rogers...cheater?

Here is an interesting paragraph from Wojciechowski's latest column.
Quote:
On Sunday night, an ESPN video analysis of Rogers' left hand during his previous starts during the '06 playoffs appears to show a similar substance.

I find it quite interesting that the man has been absolutely lights out this postseason and has had 'dirt' on his hand in each of the three games.

He cheated for sure in the 1st inning of Game 2 of the WS and the previous playoff games.

Too bad LaRussa didn't make something out of it. He must cherish friendship more than his own team.

Rogers has been and always will be a jerk, a cheat, and a madman. I wish they could suspend him for this, because it's blatant cheating.

St. Louis would be up 2-0 heading back to Busch Stadium had Palermo actually inspected Roger's hand in the first inning.

all pitchers use pine tar to grip the ball in the cold weather. if you think Rogers is the only guy who has been cheating or has done that, think again.

He may have cheated in the first inning last night... but what about the 7 innings after that. St. Louis still couldn't touch him.

I cant help but laugh at this, every pitcher has done it at some point. With all the needles in the locker room, Fox stirs the hornets nest about this?

Needles? Try cream....no one doesn't think it's odd that all of the players are rubbing each other down before the games?

I'm not sure I saw anybody insinuate that Rogers has been the only one. If everybody does it, then everybody is cheating.
