Arod - Heart of the Yankees!

[Lemon Harang Pie]

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.

I'm not sure where you're going with this but surely you're not implying that single question is anything like the attention and criticism Arod faced.

Did he really need to report this like it was breaking news?

I really hope Yankees sign that Cuban player. He can be the future for the Yankees. They need a player like that.

ARod is going to release the video of his cover of Rollins Band's "Liar" soon.
"And I'll lie again...I promise!!! Hahaha..."

If I were Girardi as soon as Rodriguez says "I'm good to go" play him. It might not take long for him to re-injure those creaky hips, place him on the DL wait for a doctor to declare him unable to play and collect 80% money back on insurance. You pay him out-of-pocket about 13 million,no bonuses reached and he goes away.

On the one hand, it's amazing that A-Rod has done this well--testament to the fact that un-juiced, he's a helluva ballplayer. But he'll have a very mediocre season at best, replete with DL visitations, un-clutch performances, and several meaningless dingers among his 12-15 overall. A pathetic exit for a now pathetic Yankees team.
