Arod - Heart of the Yankees!

[Southieinnc]

I don't think he should get suspended.
Arod has no balls. Isn't that grounds for testosterone therapy?

You forgot Heart & Soul, remember when Cashman told rod not to opt out of his contract or he was no longer going to be a Yankee, we all know what happened next A-rod was given a contract worth around 300 million with incentives and the Yanks have been trying to get out of it since.

"A-Rod is not trustworthy and never takes responsibility for his actions."

How quickly his tune has changed once he was "charged." Cashman couldn't wait to get rid of him.

Jeter on A-Rod.

"I can't tell you what he's thinking, I can't tell you if he's glad about this or glad about that, you have to ask him," Jeter said. "For us, we don't have to deal with it. It's over and done with. It's a situation he has to deal with. It is what it is. He's not going to be here this year so you have to find ways to get it done."

If he never plays for the Yankess again, then he will never play again at all. And, if so, that $ 61 mil they will have to eat of his contract will be a huge and bitter pill to swallow.

Payrod NEVER accepts responsibility it's always someone else's fault…

In his defense an awful lot of other guys did the same exact thing he did and are now they're trying to hang the whole thing on him. I would be pissed off too if I were in his shoes.

WTF? So you are saying that he is innocent because others have screwed the pooch too?

No.

I'm saying I would be pissed too if I were made the scapegoat for something a lot of other people also did. I think he has handled the situation pretty well too.

Question: Did you watch the 60 Minutes piece?

Question: Did you watch the 60 Minutes piece?

Most of it. Why do you ask?

 

[HammerDown]

Most of it. Why do you ask?

Because it sounds like you're under the impression that A-Rod is being victimized here.

He is being victimized.

I get that he's always been an unpopular guy but there's no real reason his suspension should be so drastically longer then everyone else's. MLB certainly didn't care about interference when Melky Cabrera was creating fake websites and Ryan Braun was screaming that he was being persecuted by anti-Semites.

Arod is a victim? I think I need to get in touch with my "inner pussy"

He's certainly not being treated like David Ortiz, who also failed a steroid test.

He committed the crime and should do the time but that time should be the same time everyone else is getting, which obviously it is not.

He committed the crime and should do the time but that time should be the same time everyone else is getting, which obviously it is not.

David Ortiz was asked last summer if anyone had ever told him what he had reportedly tested positive for during Major League Baseball’s supposedly anonymous 2003 survey testing, a result revealed by the New York Times in July 2009. Here’s his response.

No. Nobody. Not MLB. Not the Players Association. Nobody. They just threw it out there that I tested positive on this one list and that was it. Nothing. So I have to deal with that, and your mind is all over the place. And I’ve lived with it.

It is something that is still in the dark because nobody ever had the [guts] to come to me and say, ‘This is what was happening.’ You damaged my image at the time, and it has always stayed like that. No explanation. No nothing.

A lot of things happen in your career that has to do with bad people trying to do stupid things.
