    Question A -Roid I mean A Rod talk

    Wow so what this A Rod getting into scandals. So what i heard is he tested positive for steroids back in 2003. But is that the big deal or the fact he has admitted on public television to never doing any steroids?

    What do you think of this?

    I thought he just recently tested positive.
    Old news or new news, either way, I can't say I'm surprised.

    What makes me really angry is that you have a bunch of "hot shots", illegally enhancing their performance, and they're beating records set by legendary ball players that earned their records fair and square.
    I really think they should strip every title held by anyone who's ever tested positive.

    I am not sure what needs to be done. Legalize everything and make super players? I am not sure.

    mandatory pee tests before every game.
    If they love the game and want to play, they'll stay clean.

    I want Mark McGuire to come out of hiding and fess up.
    I'm still sickened by how he beat Sosa back during the home run race in 98

    full disclosure: I can't stand the guy.

    That being said, I AM shocked. I thought he was clean, and it was killing me, because I had no doubt in my mind that he would shatter quite a few records over the course of his career. A part of me was happy, because he would get rid of Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa, and we'd have a good, clean name on top. But that's a VERY small part of me, the rest of me can't stand him, his agent, and his contracts.

    But what's REALLY disgusting is his "apology" and his interview with Peter Gammons. Everything he said was so calculated, right down to him insinuating that this is somehow baseball's fault (but of COURSE he never said that, he just started a sentence, stopped, paused, started another sentence as if to restructure it, stopped again, paused, and then just took "full responsibility."). Are you really going to tell me he wasn't coached before that interview. And now we can all say, "Ohhh... what a guy! He WANTED to say it was baseball's fault, be he held back and took responsibility." Also notice he never admitted WHAT illegal substance he took. Please note how he makes it seem to common (and in that clubhouse, it actually was.....), and something you could just go buy at GNC. And look at his past track record of SPEAKING OUT against substances that are ruining the game. I even read a report from his camp that claimed he took the "performance enhancing substances" because of Texas's heat and humidity, and the toll they took on his game. DUH!!! That's (one of the reasons, but by no means the ONLY reason) why the Rangers can't get any pitching. But there's an easy solution: DON'T PLAY THERE!!! He WANTED to play here though, because he wanted all the money Tom Hicks was willing to give him. Wow.....

    I like the game too much to turn my back, but the whole thing's sickening, the guy's a joke, and I'm glad his reputation is forever tarnished.

    Oh, there IS a bright side though.... I know this is "alleged" to have happened while he was with the Rangers (yeah, right... He stopped as soon as he went to New York... well, his numbers DID slide initially, so maybe he DID try to stop, but they went right back up), but he plays for the yankees now, so I can wear this shirt often:
