Thread: A-Rod Out 10 Weeks!!!!

1. A-Rod used Roids
2. A-Rod has flings with aging pop-stars.
3. A-Rod's teammates had silly nicknames for him.
4. A-Rod likes to play poker
5. A-Rod likes to fibb

The End.

Let the man move on with his life already. Last I checked he's never beaten an elderly man, child or woman. He's never shot himself, a dog or another person with a gun and he's never ran over a person while drunk.

A-Rod has never "harmed" another life, only his own reputation. He's practically a saint by most standards. Move on folks.

Salsa, is that you??

The real test will be the Yankee fans. And if you listen to WFAN you might be surprised .

ONLY because he is a Yankees and an arrogant ass....I mean if he was a Red Sox... Makes it easier to hate. I mean look at Mr. Nice Guy Mark McGuire, he has NEVER had the BALLS to admit to ANYTHING. And there are plenty of OTHER players that are probably "nice guys" that have taken too. So it is easy....

Quite honestly....baseball has moved on. It's tabloid media and Yankee haters are the ones getting 'woodies' other this. In the end, he is STILL one of the greatest baseball players to ever play the game...whether you like him or not

Sorry if it offends, but I happen to feel it's relevant to discuss these new revelations about A-Rod*.

The one thing that bothers me more than the things we already knew about; the PED usage, the extra-marital stuff, or the idea that he doesn't respect Hooters' girls , is the pitch tipping allegation. We knew he cheated off the field, but it's incidents like that, along with others throughout his career like the following that leave me scratching my head why someone with his obvious talent and ability would feel the need to cheat on the field as well:

the "Mine!!" call against Toronto in May of '07


and, the "Slap" play against the Sox on October of '04:

Yes he was thought of that way. However, he is now looked upon as a cheater and a liar. Not a good combination for induction into Cooperstown.

Arod only admitted to what he was caught at. And he still hasn't admitted to everything. I believe he used steroids as a Yankee and it looks like the book backs that up. He's one of the highest paid players in baseball and he negotiated his contract using his steroid stats to get that new contract. It's easy to hate someone like that. If I had someone lie to me I would question every single thing that person said in the future.

What this really hurts are the other players past and present. Look at the money they paid Arod while other players that are clean get less . Did Arod use roids all the way back to high school?

Think of it this way. If you worked at a job and you found out someone else got paid more and they lied about the Collage Degree they have would you be unhappy about it?

In my eyes Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron are still the Home Run Kings .
