My reaction: :eek:
I did NOT see this coming.
It doesn’t surprise me at all. He started baseball at the perfect time to be on Steroids his entire career so one doesn’t see a giant boost in numbers (aside from his third to fourth year). Nobody is out of bounds ,as far as I’m concerned.
Also, I googled the MLB Drug Policy and I can’t find out how offseason testing works. Does anybody know?
Well this sucks, I’ve never been a big fan but I also have never hated him at all and I thought he was honest at least.
So now the Yanks get to have two crazy side stories to spring training this year. A-Fraud and Joe "Loose-Lips’ Torre. 
Why are we finding this out now?
My GUESS is the Bonds trial.
Disappointing but I wouldn’t be shocked at a positive test from anyone at this point. So much for the idea of A-Rod as a positive alternative to Bonds - remember a few years ago when people said there was no WAY he ever used?
I’m really over the whole steroids in baseball thing. The idea that we have to somehow try to preserve the purity of the game sounds like another idea from the kind of people who think that there’s some such thing as a fair fight. Let them shoot as much shit into themselves as they want. I don’t care at all anymore. Let them die in their sleep in their 40’s from blown apart hearts or from frightening cancers if that’s what they want so badly.
I may have been one of those people. I am not sure. I know I said it about Jeter.
I’m pretty sure that **Ken Griffey, Jr. **never doped up. He’s the one superstar that I’ve always had faith in with regards to this, just judging from the way he acts on the field, during interviews, and what little I know of his private life. I would actually put money on this. Anyone else, though, I wouldn’t be shocked.
I hope that’s correct. I wouldn’t put cash on it, though.
In those circumstances, I can’t guarantee that I wouldn’t take steroids or something
So who’s next… Manny?
Lets be honest here, do you honestly think Manny could remember to take Steroids?
Nope. If he’s with Boras because he wants that much paper, you better believe Manny would hypothetically remember to do that. Hell, even if it were a problem, he’d have a trainer.
No, I know, I was only joking.
Funny story though, Kirk Radomski was on prime time sports (Canadian sports radio show) this week and he was mentioning that this very thing was a problem for Mo Vaughn…
Damn. Jose Canseco was right AGAIN.
I really thought A-Rod would be too concerned about what other people thought about him to get busted with steroids.
If we’re starting a not-on-steroids pool, I’m picking Eckstein, but even now, who knows?
Hahaha, I love it. Now if it could be shown Jeter did steroids. Oh, and Favre.
For all the shit people talk about Ramirez, he is, by all accounts, one of the hardest working hitters in baseball. He’s a perfectionist and a workaholic when it comes to his batting. Frankly, he’s precisely the kind of guy I’d expect might take them, just because it’s one more thing he could do to hit better.
As for A-Rod, is this really surprising? He’s a gigantic asshole, why not cheat? It’s disappointing, but surely nobody who’s followed the guy’s career can be shocked by this.
And Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, Dr. J and Honus Wagner
Woah, now. I like MJ. Lets leave him out of this.
