Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
The snitch label is juvenile. If no one snitched everyone would get away with everything. ALSO, who in their right mind trust a dirty doctor???
You have to know that when it goes bad and you're AROD, that you are his out! If you're some minor league player or some .230 hitter who rides the bench, you may be safe. But when the Feds show up and bust the doc, you have to know you're nailed.

Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
Why have dignity since the might dollar is being rewarded to those who cheat?
and oh, those so called dignity and playing clean --- they all out of a job or they are in the minor league for 20 years!
Like I said before - I blame the fans (myself included) for creating this monster. If no one go to game, and no collectors picking up the next gamer, there will be no cheaters!

Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
You can blame yourself all you want. Don't blame me though.
I didn't cheat. I didn't put a price on my dignity. I didn't lie. I didn't stick a needle in my body. I didn't take an illegal drug.
Don't you dare blame me for what another man does.
I didn't know these guys were cheating.
I was raised when a mans word was his bond. When a handshake was more important than a contract.
Maybe you were raised in a time or area where everyone has an excuse for the things they do wrong. I wasn't. I was raised that actions have consequences and that if you did something wrong you took responsibility for it. You didn't blame others.
So you blame yourself all you want. But don't blame me for another mans actions.

Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
It may be a joke to you but for anyone with any self respect it's not.
So they cheat and you give them an excuse by blaming everyone else?
That is the some messed up thinking right there.
You choose to do what you do. They were free to say no.
And we wonder what is wrong with society today.

Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
I don't own the teams. I don't make decisions on who to hire. I don't sign the contracts. I don't pay the players.
Ask the Blue Jays and Cardinals why they signed known cheaters and rewarded them.
I wouldn't have signed either of them, ever.
The fans didn't have a say so in those signings. The fans didn't petition the teams to sign them. The fans were not part of the negotiations.
You can only blame the players for cheating and the clubs for signing them.

Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
Many teams are taking a stance against this. The Diamondbacks for example won't even consider a player that has tested positive or has a previous suspension - even in the Minor Leagues.
I like the idea that has been discussed of fining teams that sign known users after a suspension if that player fails another test.
