A-Rod suspended for full season

The MLBPA shouldn't have stated they disagreed with the decision.
Unions leave a bad taste in the mouth when they stand by a member no matter what.
Maybe he MLBPA will stop being so supportive of their cheating members after this.

The union cannot exist without its paying dues members - crooked or not.

And when the union throw its members under the bus like in this case - it might as well working MLB (as in managers) and do whatever they want.

Bottom line - they (both MLB and the union) are working in cahoot to target the highest paid player in the game to make an example of.

And if they get away with it now, what will stop them from doing it again in the future? Might as well have the mob running this scheme called MLB.

Just wanted to post this for anyone who thinks that PED's don't give power and make you hit the ball farther. Ever since the Bonds fiasco there are those who claim that PED's don't help hit home runs.

U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart told The Associated Press...
"At the end of the day," Tygart said, "this was a potent cocktail of sophisticated PEDs stacked together to deliver power, aid recovery, avoid detection and create a home run champion."

I guess the other 99% who got caught or not - should sue for false advertisement then ....

Jesus Montero - I should get my money back from all the gamers I picked up.

Francisco Cervelli - Where is your HR numbers, sir?

Come on, this remind of the commercial a while back - just because a fan wears authentic jersey like their idol, it doesn't mean you can hit HR like Hamilton.

If that was the case, I wear my Jeter's gamers (jersey, pant, bat, cleats and gloves) the next time I play baseball in the park....

You would have a point if we were all clones.

Oh yeah, .

On a lighter note, if you haven't seen the Arod piece on SNL, it was pretty funny. Fast forward to 01:42
