Breaking News: Arod Tested Positive for Steroids

[DAREALDEAL]

Please explain to me the resons why you guys hate Arod so much? Again, Im not a fan either way. Actually, Im pretty indifferent about the guy. But man, he sure is getting bashed. And last I checked there were tons of other guys who have been on the juice. I don't remember Barry baseball getting bashed as much as this. Myself, Im a Cal Ripken, jr. fan. However, I hate seeing anyone get crushed in the league, media, and this forum to the extent some are going after AROD. Im not stirring the pot but do want to know if I am missing something here??

did you see the 60 minutes interview? he looked for the camaras to say he "never felt overmatched on the field" thus he didnt use steroids.......he talks about how he outworks everybody by waking up at 2 in the morning to work out ....he is just an arrogant motherfucker to me.....and if what they say about tipping pitches is true, he has absolutely fucked up baseball.........not to mention the "am i hotter than jeter" shit

No, I missed all of that. That is pretty wild stuff. Tipping pitches goes well beyond any of that other junk. If he did that he should be excommunicated and banned from basebal.

WOW, simply amazing to watch him look into the camera and FLAT OUT LIE. He does it very very well and is so convincing.

Did anyone else see A-Rod's HR today in the 9th. Is he kidding me? I thought it was a fly out to shallow right. I watched the game with four or five other people in the room, two of whom are Yankee fans. When he hit it, I asked my friend to rewind it on the DVR. I asked him how that ball went out and neither of us had any idea. The announcers said after the HR and I quote "And that, with the wind not blowing normally as hard out to right. I know the wind in Yankee stadium, this, that and everything else.

But this guy hits so many HRs off the hands of the bat and on awful looking swings. There are some swings where I guy takes a cut and you know its out of here, and there are others when you can tell its a pop out or a fly out. Even when A-Rod hits some of these balls and they go out, he's surprised. I'm amazed every time I see this garbage, no body else in the league hits so many HRs off such ugly swings.

I understand what you are saying but respectfully...what is your point?

A-Rod is without a doubt, still on steroids.

Seven of his first ten hits are HRs. He's not good enough to get a lot of hits, but he's good enough to make those hits fly over the wall.

Have you noticed how many HRs have been hit at new Yankees Stadium? Yesterday's HR was a product of that.

If you read my previous post, I alluded to that. The announcers after the HR mentioned how this was a rare day when the wind was not blowing to right like it normally does. They said point blank that the HR was not a product of the wind, and attributed the HR purely to A-Rod's "strength to go with the ball the opposite the way."

Sure some of it may be due to the park, this isn't a one time occuronce, the guy hits ugly HRs. Ugly. He's also hitting under .190 but has 7 HRs in a month or so.
