Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
I understand the legal side of things. And I'm not familiar with what obligations the Players Union has to their players in situations like this. But I can say, if I have an employee who I know is guilty, and they want to fight the fight, I'm letting the process play out and not putting myself out there to defend my employee.
And if I was a player, I would be pissed too!

Arod could be a marked man in 2015. Looks like he's been outed as a rat now by his own.Leave a comment:

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

Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
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....

Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
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.Leave a comment:

Re: 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.Leave a comment:

Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
The current article on MlB.com says that the MLBPA tried to prevent disclosure of parts of the arbitrator's opinion, but a federal judge blocked that, and indicated there was no reason the opinion shouldn't be public. After that, A-Rod's lawyer apparently put the opinion out in full.
His suit against the MLBPA is intended to maximize his slim chances of overturning the suspension by attacking all angles in the process. But the MLBPA's reply suggests they're not happy with their inclusion.Leave a comment:

Re: A-Rod suspended for full season
If you actually paid attention, you would know that EVERY player listed in the Bio Genesis scandal (except for A-Fraud) took their penalties/punishments as deemed appropriate by MLB 'without question'. Including Braun.
It makes a damning indictment of A-Fraud to believe that he is the ONLY player on the list that is 'clean', when everyone else manned up and accepted their punishments.
He claims he's innocent, but won't testify on his own behalf...Leave a comment:
