A-ROD HITS HOMER #600!

I honestly could give a damn about this whole steroid thing. People are slinging mud at A-Rod and other players when they really live in glass houses to begin with. And as much as A-Rod likes to ham it up for the camera and all that, I believe him when he says he hasn't been using the stuff since he's been a Yankee.

I don't live in a glass house, I give everything I got when I play sports and even though I'm not a superstar, I don't shoot needles up my ass to be one.

Agreed
there should be an "*" by Aroid's name in the record books.
 
Too bad steroids arent legal...they were banned by kneejerk reactionism AGAINST the advice of scientific experts (3 separate organizations) to Congress...used with supervision they could be a great force for recovery and performance, as a supplement to the usual training...and in fact they WERE by a large majority of players during that time period.

Any links to these studies?


Ah well, I guess we can go on letting the vast uninformed public think that its cheating

I thought cheating was breaking the rules to gain an unfair advantage. Are steroids and other performance enhancing drugs against the rules of baseball? Yes. Is every player taking them? Most likely not. Do those players taking them have an advantage over "clean" players? Yes.

If A=B, B=C, then A=C. As currently written, the use of steroids is cheating.


and pretend that no one used or is using them anymore...I hope Arod is using HGH, I really do.

I know they're being used, I know they've been used. Any moron who looks at baseball's "testing" policy knows it's not designed to catch users, but to warn users so they don't get caught. The ones who've gotten caught are either too stupid or arrogant to believe they could get caught.

What would Arod using HGH prove? That he could? That he's got the money and resources to get away with it? To allow him to constantly thumb his nose at the game and fans?


Quite frankly its a shame Babe Ruth hit that many home runs as an alcoholic, unhealthy fat guy

Imagine how many he could have hit as a juiced up roid head, right?

Would Ted Williams have hit .500 if he was on the juice?

Could Joe DiMaggio have hit safely in 100 consecutive games if he was juicing?

How many games in a row could Lou Gherig have played in?

I honestly could give a damn about this whole steroid thing. People are slinging mud at A-Rod and other players when they really live in glass houses to begin with.

What glass houses? I'll use short words: Steroids give players an unfair advantage over those not using.

And as much as A-Rod likes to ham it up for the camera and all that, I believe him when he says he hasn't been using the stuff since he's been a Yankee

He and McGwire - regular boy scouts, they are. :rolleyes:

As for the home run itself, typical Rodriquez statistic - looks good on paper, but didn't really affect the outcome of the game.

Not going to lie, pay me what they are paying Arod and I will gladly take the needle :borg:
 
Let someone on THEIR favorite team get linked to PEDs and they'll change their tune right quick. :p

I wouldn't believe some on the Jays is using

But what if they were? You wouldn't stop liking the team, would you? Would you start slamming any member of that team if they were linked to PEDs?

People are doing this to A-Rod because they hate the Yankees. Not surprising that they'd do that, really. They hate him because he's a Yankee; I like him for the same reason. :shrug: And like I said, I believe him when he says he hasn't done PEDs since he's been a Yankee. Obviously you would not - again, because he's a Yankee. No, I'm not flaming you for that. It's expected that people react that way.

But you'll notice I haven't complained about anyone from any other team that's used the stuff... ;)
 
Actually, I would start slamming members of the Jays.

I'd rather win honestly than cheat. It doesn't matter if they're my team or not.
 
People have hated A-Rod before he was a Yankee. He showed his calculated, disingenuous and insincere self long before the pinstripes.
