Alex Rodriguez sues Major League Baseball in bid to overturn suspension | Fox News

no surprise.
You knew he wasnt going quietly

IMO ARod is getting fucked. Did he cheat?? Absolutely, BUT the CBA states that you cant punish a guy for anything worse than a first offense for his first offense. Now we all know the guy cheated a shit ton but the reality is that this should be his first offense. I mean its really not any different than if I get boozed up and go drive, get pulled over and the other guy in the car says " Oh he does this all the time"... Do you think I could be charged with my 3rd or 4th OWI just because someone said I did it "all the time"??? Hell no. The ONLY thing they are falling back on is the obstruction of the investigation but we have even seen that before and in no instance did the perpetrator get 211 or 162 games. I dont like the guy but the suspension should be more in line with the Ryan Braun suspension

Aroid is going insane. He will never accept his punishment. He is fighting a loosing battle.

I love how A Rod is handling this, purely from an entertainment standpoint. I hope he shows up to spring training, this is fun.

The Yankees should give him his unconditional release today.

Why wait?

There is no way he would ever go quietly. He needs to be in the news one way or another. It is going to be so annoying all season still having to listen about a player that isn't even playing.

Every time there is a play by the Yankees 3B you know that DB Michael Kay will say something about the absence of Alex Rodg-ree-giss (as Kay pronounces it).

 

[gregrey972]

I'll be more upset if the Yankees worm their way out of paying him anything less than his entire contract. They knew EXACTLY what they were getting themselves into...although they now claim that not to be the case

Such complete bullshit, go find one link on the internet from 2007 to today that backs up your absurd claim.

From a reputable news source, not some clown's blog.


I won't hold my breath waiting.

I won't hold my breath waiting.

You want me to find a news article stating that the Yankees knew A-Rod was using PED's?

 

[gregrey972]

You are right Million...the Yankees were the only ones that didn't know...my bad

I want you find a news article from a reputable new organization that backs up you're claim that the New York Yankees knew that Alex Rodriguez was using PEDS's before they re-sign him to a 10 year $275 million dollar contract after the 2007 season.

Go.

That's what i thought.

Your talking out your asshole, pal. Just because you don't like the Yankees and you're all pissy that they're saving money doesn't mean that you can make up shit on your own without one single shred of proof other than you little hater pea brain thinking it must be so without getting called out.

How can you possibly say this is his first offense?

Alex Rodriguez admits taking PEDs during 3-year period - ESPN

and pay special attention to this part:

Rodriguez's admission comes 48 hours after Sports Illustrated reported that Rodriguez was on a list of 104 players who tested positive for banned substances in 2003, the year when Major League Baseball conducted survey tests to see if mandatory, random drug-testing was needed in the sport.

That took a simple 2 second google search...I bet there is a lot more!
