March 7, 2005 -- YOU can't be a champion of equality and play by two sets of rules. You can't ignore in some folks what you'd loudly condemn in others. Last week, Carlos Delgado claimed that he was turned off by the Mets when Dominican-born GM Omar Minaya and Minaya's assistant, Puerto Rico native Tony Bernazard, attempted to play the race card.

Logic, reason or poor outcomes has never applied to affirmative action in the past...
