    Re: A-Fraud- juice head?!?!

    Hell, I'd call it a win if I avoided jail time. I am not saying A-rod is right in this matter. All I'm saying is that if the situation was handled properly, A-rod could have been fully implicated where as now he may get away with things minus his reputation being soiled. That is, if all of this is true.

      The steroid issue just keeps on haunting Major League Baseball. I found it interesting that throughout this whole steroid issue, the Commissioner of Baseball had "performance" clauses in his contract.

        I feel sorry for Tony.

        Now, even if finds out his A-Rod homer bat is legit......it probably just lost most of it's appeal.

        This all needs to end.


        We all need to start a website asking for the removal of Bud Selig.

        Anyone want to start that petition? He was "awarded" a three-year renewal as Commish until 2012. I say he needs to go now. He not only let things run amuck, he started it right after the '94 strike, and accelerated the collapse of integrity in the game with dismal leadership as his "reign of corruption" went forward.

        I'm serious.....Bud Selig needs to go. He makes me sick. I can't stand looking at the $17,500,000.00 GEEK any longer. Let's start a petition to have him removed as commishioner of MLB.

        Any thoughts? I'm willing to start up the site.

          suicide_squeeze,
          I'll join in, only if you guys try getting me the job after we kick him out. The first things on my list would be getting rid of Barry Bonds stats. Then work on better drug tests. After those two are fixed i would work on getting rid of some of the bad teams in baseball like the Red Sox.

Where is Arnold Schwarzeneger in all this? He is the one who is in elected office right now, take him to congress.
            Ahhh-nold is busy raising our taxes here in California, after promising for his WHOLE Political career that he would never do that.

            He is obviously suffering from a delayed case of roid-rage.

              Funny, all the Bonds bashers are quiet. Everyone was sying that they will be happy when Arod breaks Bonds record, then it will be clean. Give me a break. They are all using it- Do you really think Manny, Pujols, are any different?

Again i bet this was just made up by SI just like half of their storys so they could get more people to read their website. It also comes from two writers that we have never heard of.

                Also you guys are forgetting that if he did fail the drug test it was before he was a yankee.

                C'mon, yanks12025........You're starting to sound like that rediculous Republican Congressman who attacked McNamee at the Clemens hearings.

                It's OK to stick up for your boy, but this is b!tch for A-Rod no matter how you cut the cake.

                Look, some chump who had access to the name list decided he wanted his 15 minutes of fame, so he leaked it to someone else (most likely) who gave the info to Sports Illustrated. They surely did their due dilligence, and found enough evidence that the info was legit, so they went with the story. I think all of us "suspected" in regards to A-Rod.....this is yet another SAD DAY for MLB.

                So let's turn it around. Let's oust Selig as an incompetent leader of the sport, and clean it up going forward. Let's also slap a salary cap on players contracts, kick the players Union in the TEETH HARD (which is long overdue) and clean the freaking game up before it totally self destructs.

                It's on the brink.....we need to bail out the sport we love. NOT with money, with people that care making the necessary changes to brink back integrity to the sport.

                  That's what I'm talking about Jim.

                  His whole existence as MLB Commissioner is a joke. He is absolutely the peak of hypocracy in the game. He's like the SEC for the corrupt Stock Exchange.

                  How can we expect anything to be right when the organization set up to keep corruption out of the field they govern........is corrupt themselves?

                    Re: A-Fraud- juice head?!?!

                    It will be interesting to see how Yankee fans react. Will they be two face and accept it and make no big deal or will they boo him out if town. Will A-Rod take the week aporoach like Andy Pettite ( I only did to recover from an injury), Lie like Clemens, or Apologize like Giambi (but not use the word Steroids).

                    The Yankees have marketed themselves as clean cut, full of pride, and the epitomy of baseball. They now have a big pie in their face!!! They are Steroid team Clemens, Giambi, A Rod, Pettite, Johnny Damon, the list will just grow...

                      Bonds,
                      What are talking about with Damon. Also Giambi aint a yankee anymore and he took the riods before coming to the yankees so did Clemens. And if you read the article about a-rod he failed it in 2003 when he was a Ranger.

                        Why do you feel the need to try to stick up for him? And who cares if they did if before or after they were a Yankee? I'd have to agree to the reply to your post on mlbtraderumors.com...excuses, excuses. You'd think you were on his payroll

                          Damon's ex wife came out and said he was user.... Obviously Giambi and Clemens didn't stop using when he was a yankee. Clemens was accused by his former trainer of using steroids as a Yankee. Remember Clemens insisted that the trainer follow him to NY just like Giambi's trainer followed him to new NY.

                          As far as Bonds still sucks. Why are you collecting Ankiel, wasn't his name linked to Steroids? He failed as a pitcher, heck the guys not even an AllStar on or off the juice...

                            If you could read I said that wasn't my quote and I agree with him stating the excuses that the Yankee fans will make for A-Rod. The comment about Bonds was not mine. I have not once defended or made excuses for Rick's useage of HGH in 2004. I could care less what the guy did and Im not going to spend a whole saturday morning like Yank's trying to defend a guy who could give a rats ass about me and the pieces of his that I collect. Rick's story inspires me and through a close contact of his I have found out he is a great guy regardless of his decisions.

                              Well you have to support your team/players no matter what. Thats what Bonds fan's did and they still do because they think he's still clean. All i want was better proof then these writers we never heard of and also the other 103 names. I want to see Ortiz's, Manny, all of them on the list because then boston fans can't talk back(but im sure baseball will cover it up).

                              Also i noticed i was spelling steroids wrong, my bad.

                                If proven to be factual, yes I will be disappointed.
                                For me, it's sad that anyone with Arod's ability and talent, would even think of using performance enhancing drugs. His performance year after year (yes, I know, not in the post season ) shows he doesn't need them. Since 2004, he has been tested, and his performance shows he doesn't need them.

                                I told my wife, back when Arod was interviewed by Katie Currick. When she asked Arod have you ever use performance enhancing drugs, he looked away from her, paused, and then turned back to her and said No. I told my wife, why think about it? Why hesitate? It was at that point I always wondered.

                                Will I dump my Arod stuff? No!
