ARod tested positive

[a700hitter]

nyyfans.com:

It was supposed to be a wide-reaching report on the question of steroids in baseball. Why did MLB say that the Mitchell Report will be the final investigation into steroids in baseball if it wasn't meant to be authoritative?

 

Baseball needed names, but more than anything it needed a villain to scapegoat. Enter the Yankees.

Of course MLB would want to destroy its most valuable franchise. That makes sense. Whiney freaking Yankee fans!

[Dojji]

This is bad for baseball, A-Rod was supposed to be the post-steroids era 'best player in baseball,' and now he's going to be seen as nothing more than another juicer.

 

This also becomes a huge distraction heading into what's hopefully going to be a great season.

 

Someone, Pujols, Longoria, I don't know, needs to take up the mantle of dominant, fun-to-watch, clean player.

 

Pujols has never been caught, but there's been rumors for years about him, too. With all the revelations forthcoming it is presumed by quite a few people that Pujols is just a matter of time.

 

I think our best hope is a thoroughly tested next generation -- Longoria, Anderson, et. al.

Get lockerroom pictures of Clemens in his Red Sox years and you'll not the likeness to the Michelin man. Roiders don't have rolls of fat. Curiously enough though' date=' Clemens was in better shape in the second half of 1996. Canseco was on that team. Clemens second half was phenomenal. His last Fenway start he struck out 20.[/quote']

There you go. So let's not rule it out completely. It's possible.

Who Lars? Dear god you're obsessed with him. At least wait for him to debut fist

I think his performance will be impacted. He's a bit of a sensitive wuss. He hates being hated nevermind ridiculed. They'll need to reserve a wing in the clubhouse for his shrinks.

I agree. i can't help but think that his performance will be impacted in some way.

 

If anyone is dumb enough to take on that contract trade him and get a boatload of talent in return.

nyyfans is a JOKE! It's people like that that give all Yankee fans a bad wrap.

I'd be shocked if Jeter is on there, but stranger things have happened. I was shocked Pettitte was in the Mitchell Report.

[26 to 6]

Kapler was a bench player' date=' so I don't give a s*** about him. Nomar, with his recent injury streaks, has done little to convince people otherwise. Nixon, well, that would sting a bit yeah.[/quote']

Oh listen to you. It doesn't matter who they are or what their role. if they used, they used. we take heat for Chuck Knoblauch, Glenallen Hill, Randy Velarde, Ricky Bones, Darren Holmes, etc. Nobody cuts us a break because they weren't significant players.

[a700hitter]

There you go. So let's not rule it out completely. It's possible.

I think it is likely that Clemens was using in his last season with the Red Sox. His body started changing and his performance was rejuvenated in the second half.

Had A-Rod been traded to Boston back in 2004, I'm convinced that his name would have never been leaked now.

I did a double take when I saw that post too. I guess he is baseballs hope for the future.:dunno:

Knoblauch gets heat for this:

Let's not forget how many times he spiked the baseball into the ground and the time he argued with the ump as runs were scoring.

[Cocos Disciples]

That play isn't really Chuckie's fault, though. It's the ump's. I lol more at the constant throws into the grandstands.

I'd be really pissed if this happened to my team too, (not trying to get under your skin) but you're being really, really irritable at the moment. I don't blame you, but can we pleeeeeeease try to keep the profuse swearing to a lower level? Thanks, lol.

 

That said, this is hilarious.

[a700hitter]

IMO at some point ARod will do a mea culpa and swear that he only used roids a couple of times in 2003. Of course, many will believe him.

[a700hitter]

That said, this is hilarious.

This really warms up a frigid February day.

[a700hitter]

ARod's Ex must be having a good laugh over this. I wonder if she threatened to leak the in fo when negotiating the divorce settlement.

[Cocos Disciples]

"I had no idea they were steroids! Juan Gonzalez and Rafael Palmeiro promised!"

[Dipre]

I honestly thought if anyone was clean, it was him. I couldn't care less though.

 

If Pujols appears on a steroid user list, then my life is over.

[ARod2212]

If I'm the PA, I'm getting ready to sue the hell out of somebody.

 

Sucks for A-Rod. It still amazes me how much scrutiny baseball players get, and how little anybody cares for other athletes. You'd never know Shaun Merriman took steroids the way Tomlinson talked about him in an interview I heard during the Super Bowl.

 

This is proof of something we knew anyway- Rodriguez is retarded.

[a700hitter]

"I had no idea they were steroids! Juan Gonzalez and Rafael Palmeiro promised!"

"They told me that it was Vitamin B-12. I should have gotten suspicious when my testicles shriveled up like raisins."

It makes me feel better, considering I feel like I got hit by a train after last night's festivities.

Agreed.

 

 

Speaking of Canseco and how he was with the Sox in '95, another thing to consider is how this situation just adds even more so to his credibility. He hasn't been wrong on anything yet, and he said several times prior to the release of Vindicated that he had dirt on Alex and that Alex "wasn't the person he appears to be." It's also common knowledge they worked out together. I didn't read vindicated so idk what's in the book about Alex, but if anyone has please shed some light.

 

As much as everybody might not like the guy, He's been dead on everytime.

[Cocos Disciples]

If Pujols appears on a steroid user list, then my life is over.

 

Well I wouldn't go that far, but Pujols is one of my favorite players and I would be a little bummed. But nothing would surprise me.

[Cocos Disciples]

I definitely remember Canseco calling out A-Rod. Not sure if it was in the book, but he did.

[a700hitter]

If I'm the PA' date=' I'm getting ready to sue the hell out of somebody. [/quote']Unless MLB leaked the info, which would be contrary to their financial interests, there is no one to sue. If the Gov't leaked it, there might be a criminal infraction, but they would not be liable for monetary damages under any legal theory that I know.

[Dipre]

Wow' date=' where was I during the 6th grade cafeteria fight??? Relax, girls...[/quote']

 

Classic.

 

Biggest sample size ever.

 

As usual, you miss the point, they guy tried to use sarcasm to illustrate something, you f***ing idiot.

[a700hitter]

It's also common knowledge they worked out together. I didn't read vindicated so idk what's in the book about Alex' date=' but if anyone has please shed some light.[/quote']Canseco had been extorting money from players to keep their names out of his book. Would it be a stretch to think that ARod gave Canseco an envelope full of cash?

I'm irritable because I'm extremely irritated. Makes sense, right lol. My bad about the initial post, I was laying in bed still half asleep watching (more like listening to) David Cone's 19K game against the Phillies from 1991 on MLB Network. All of a sudden "BREAKING NEWS: ALEX RODRIGUEZ TESTED POSITIVE.........." What a way to wake up, hearing that the best player on your favorite team is a cheater. I needed to let the frustration out.
