Tony:

Didn't you stop collecting Juan Gonzales items due to his involvement with steroids?

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

He isnt coming out and denying the positive test. I can imagine Arod game used items have just become more affordable. He was informed of the news on thursday from what I have heard.

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

As repoted on MLB.COM..."Alex Rodriguez ALLEGEDLY tested positive for steroids."

If and/or when factual proof shows that Arod used in 2003, then there's nothing to argue about. Facts are facts.

I'll just wait and see what more is to come.

It's a sad day for this Arod fan!

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

The steroid issue is Major League Baseballs version of the shell game. The players say see the union, the union says see the Commissioners Office and the Commissioners Office says - its a contractual issue and we can't comment - see the union.

Round and round we go - where it stops nobody knows.

In the meanwhile, all of the major actors in this little game have "performance" contracts. Interesting.

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.

Says who??? Failed tests were confirmed by 4 people. This writer that you never heard of is a Senior writer for SI. They would not go with a story this big unless it was legit. Every player from this era will be looked at with suspicion and nobody should be surprised when other names do come out. What do the other 103 names have to do with Arod's positive test?? I'm sure there have been users on every team/every year in the majors for the last 20 years(yes even on the Red Sox). Loyalty is blinding you from the reality of what is going on.

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

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!

GOOD for you, Tony!!!

A man with conviction.....I like it!!!

With all due respect to all of the fine posters here.......

..........ANYONE who still believes Bonds is "clean" in regards to using steroids or performance enhancing drugs........you need to seek help immediately.

From this moment forward, Bonds is paying a TON of money to pay a bunch of lawyers to come up with "doubt" in any way they can twist the facts to get him off for lying to the grand jury about his obvious steroid use.

I am NOT placing "judgement" or giving my opinion of Barry Bonds in any way, shape, or form. I am simply stating the obvious. Fan or not, he used, there is ample proof everywhere you look, and that's it.

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

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.

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

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

Also Clemens started taking them before being a yankee."


Who let this genius make an account?
Well....excuses excuses...ah Bonds still sucks.

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...

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

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.

flaa1a@comcast.net

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?
