What about A-Rod now?

Seriously, its time to move past this.

The only upside (as I see it): the big FA’s that the NYY added can really play with a little less pressure. Think about how little attention is going to be on Tex, AJB, and CCS right now? With all of the pressure on ARod, and every line of questioning in the locker room about ARod, these guys can just sit back and play relatively pressure free this season.

don’t care. Play ball.

What more can Arod do? Hold another press conference and allow him to make better use of words to sum up another public apology for cheating? I could care less what the other names on the list are.

about what A-Rod did between 2001-2003. IMO the entire steroid issue has been blown out of proportion anyway. Where were these hypocritical media jackals at during the so-called “steroid era” ? Where was the moral outrage then ?

A-rod is a Yankee. I want the team to succeed, hence I want Alex to succeed. I hope he has a monster year.

….baseball is now in more of a baseball mess than ever. We’ll never ever hear the end of A-Rod and the Roids. I do care…but mainly because anything the Yanks accomplish will be tarred with Roid allegations of cheating. It sucks that that has to go along with all the other normal baseball talk. So, yeah…I do care.

This whole era of MLB is tarnished by all this stuff. What MLB needs to do is require all teams to submit to random testing all year long on all of their players, show proof of tests, and then ban any player for 3 years for a first offense, with team options to void contracts of the player. After 2nd failure, lifelong ban.

The punishment needs to be harsh because that is what will earn respect of the fans, and the polls show that the fans just don’t trust the game.

If they don’t trust the game and don’t respect, how can we honestly enjoy it???

It’s not about A-Rod, it’s about the whole damn thing……fix it. If they have to strike for a year or two to fix it……so be it!

It’s a good thing for them that A-Rod’s taking all the blame. It’s nice of the obvious roiders to come out with a strong anti-roiding statement. To an extent I wish Alex would just start being a dick and say things like “What, you don’t think David Ortiz juiced? Mediocore to average DH in Minnesota, and then all the sudden he moves to Boston and he hits at a Hall of Fame level? Or something like "Yeah, I bet Travis Hafner’s huge peak and huge fall off was all natural…I can’t remember the last juicer I saw with a head shaped like that”

We should care about what’s going on in the A-Rod scandal, because I really think the real story is being overlooked. The real story remains: Why was A-Rod and A-Rod alone outed among the 104 names? The allegations are a smokescreen to hide something far more nefarious. The leaker knew the media and public would only concentrate on the shame of A-Rod’s alleged PED use, and not why his name alone was leaked. But underneath this smokescreen there is a bonafide story. And the story isn’t A-Rod’s steroid use. Lastly, we as American’s cannot and should not accept breaking the law to get at a single person, when hundreds if not thousands of others are involved in PEDs. And to leak official sealed records as was done here to A-Rod should leave us all outraged. The ends do not justify the means. How many other players will be subjected to this? Someone please ask that question. This isn’t really about getting to the truth about steroids. This is about making noise. I do not support PEDs and steroids, but I detest this illegal leak even more.
