A-Roid Should Go Away

You’d think that after a night that Jonathan Van Every gave the Red Sox a win with a 10th inning home run I would lead with that. Nope. Celtics hoping to close out their first round series tonight? Nope. Once again more about the scandalous A-Roid.

Here’s the highlights from a story off ESPN.com:

• Yankees teammates, Roberts writes, nicknamed Rodriguez “Bitchh Tits” in 2005 because he put on 15 pounds in the offseason which included round pectorals, a condition called gynecomastia that can be caused by anabolic steroids.

• Rodriguez put on 25 pounds of muscle between his sophomore and junior years. Former high school teammates told Roberts (the reporter that wrote the book that broke the steroid use) that A-Rod was using steroids back then and his coach knew it.

• A-Rod “pitch tipped” when he played for the Rangers by letting opponents at the plate know which pitch was coming in lopsided games. A-Rod expected players he helped would reciprocate when he was having an off night and needed to get his batting average up.

• A-Rod was hated at Hooters, where he tipped the minimum 15 percent.

Just more dirt piled on this piece of shit. He should pack it up, take his money and go home Mark McGuire style. Everyone know that if you go to Hooters you always tip better than that.

A-Rod Keeps Fucking Up

Let’s see, it started with having his agent Scott Boras negotiating a contract with the Rangers for $100 million more than the second closest bidders. An MVP for a last place team and a forced trade to the Yankees after a failed attempt at a Red Sox trade. But he was baseball’s golden boy; Bud Selig’s teflon third baseman.

Once in New York it started to crumble. The single white female obsession he had with Derek Jeter and tried to do anything to be like Jeter. Problem being, he’s not as classy as Jeter. Getting his ass kicked by Jason Varitek.

Slapping the ball out of Bronson’s hand.

Then there was the bush league play in Toronto when he yelled “MINE!” as he was heading to third base. Causing the Toronto player to drop the ball. Of course we remember the whore.

Then the whole divorce thing, the Madonna thing, then the steroid thing followed by the hip problem that was probably caused by the steroid thing.

Now the latest, which is my favorite so far. He’s a client of a Madam and actually pressed the Madam into dating him. Forcing her hand with flowers, jewelry, and gifts. Being paid $275 million, good to see he’s spending it on sensible things. But the kicker is, this is what the chick looks like.

Why not just admit he’s gay. If this chick had a penis, I wouldn’t be surprised in the least. Yet he’s into it. The manly chick in Toronto and now this chick? Is she the same one as Toronto? Either way, manly blondes? I think the A-Roid may be taking a back seat to Gay-Rod again.

Lie To Me

Happy Wednesday everyone. So the wife and I came across a new show on Fox a couple weeks ago and we’re huge fans. It’s on Fox on Wednesday nights and it’s called Lie to me*. Why do I bring this up in a sports blog? well, for the following reason.

mlb_a_arod4vertical_288

Does anyone think this guy was sincere at all? Come on. The Lie to me guy would be all over this (as Tony Maz calls it) dog and pony show. This guy is a liar and you can tell by the way his purple lips basically deny any words coming out of his mouth.

Cousin? Seriously? Is his cousin related to Ty Law’s cousin who had ecstasy in Ty’s back pack coming over the Canadian border? Come on. Does he honestly expect us to believe him?

A little over a week ago he sat down with Peter Gammons and couldn’t recall what he took. Asked point blank if it was Primobolan and he couldn’t recall the name of it. Yet yesterday he all of a sudden remembered the name. Hello, you took it for three years and couldn’t remember the name?

And then to come out and say that you probably weren’t doing them right, come on. Why would you keep doing it if you didn’t think you were doing them right? You didn’t know they were steroids, but knew they weren’t Tic Tacs? I’m following…or not.

Some quotes from the press conference, taken out of context really solidify the Gay-Rod name over the A-Roid:

“It was really amateur hour. It was two guys doing a very amateur and immature thing. We probably didn’t even take it right.”

“It goes back to being young and being curious. I realized — thank God that I realized — that I was being silly and irresponsible, and I decided to stop. And I was a young guy.”

The bottom line on the whole thing he took a banned substance before baseball began testing for them. Is he taking things today? I have no doubt that he’s taking something new that baseball can’t test for. The rich players can afford the best where the guys that get busted in the minors are getting what they can afford. Baseball needs to come out with the list of the other 103 guys so it’s not just A-Roid feeling the heat on this. Don’t try and strip records, it is what it is. Out the other 103 guys, and let’s move on.

A-Roid

yankees-11

So let’s see if I have this correct…

Clemens – Yankee – Steroids
Pettite – Yankees – Steroids
Giambi – Yankee – Steroids
Sheffield – Yankee – Steroids

…and now, Gay-Rod, A-Fraud, the new one being the best one, A-Roid.

The email came across my desk yesterday asking if we go with Ste-Rod or A-Roid. It was a resounding yes on the A-Roid. One of the first columns I wrote (click here) was who do you hate more A-Rod or Bonds. Well, now A-Rod has become Bonds. This guy went from being a cheater to being more of a cheater.

I’m sure we remember this…

13-arod-hamburger-helper

this…

arod-purse4

and more recently this…

arod0522

So there’s the hand slapping, intentionally trying to take out Pedroia with a slide, baseball cheating. Then there’s the wife cheating.

When you heard that A-Roid was on drugs, besides collagen for his purple lips did it really surprise you? And when he went on ESPN and told Peter Gammons that he only did them from 2001-2003 did you believe that? I didn’t either. So you’re telling me he got hurt and then stopped using steroids. OK, maybe he did, but you can’t tell me that didn’t open a door for HGH.

The more important thing is, who are the other 103 guys on the list. Release all the names. I want to know who’s dirty. I don’t care if Pedro, Manny, and Nomar are all on the list. Although if Pedro was on the steroids, he should probably ask for his money back.

Baseball needs to just put this chapter behind it. Let the fans know who was dirty and who was clean.

If nothing else, take a page from Clemens and just admit it.

Rooting for the Yankees

Staying up and watching Sportscenter last night I was watching the bottom line for a Yankees/Rays score. Before it came creeping along the bottom, I got my highlights of the game.

Thanks to Alex Rodriguez’s home run in the ninth (it was the first time that instant replay would be used) the producers at ESPN were frothing at the mouth, obviously it would be one of the first stories. So I’m watching and see that the Yanks were leading and that the home run would be a nice dagger in the Rays.

Photobucket

Replay upholds the play on the field, Yankees win and I’m happy?

You know it. Thanks to the Yankees win and the sweep by the Sox of the O’s the Sox are now just three games back of the Rays. So for one more night I’ll be pulling for the Yankees to win against the Rays, then I become a Toronto fan as they battle the Rays.

Things are only getting better for the Sox at this point. Beckett and Lowell are coming back from the DL, Little Dusty is a World Beater right now, and Julio Lugo won’t likely be back with the team for the rest of the year. You throw in the fact that the Red Sox only have three more road series this season and a couple head to heads with the Rays and the Sox could be a division winner. A far cry from playing taps around the beginning of August.

It’s great to be a Sox fan again. The Manny trade has paid dividends with the Sox having the second best August in the majors, second only to Tampa who is playing out of their minds. The team has become exactly that, a team. Youk has back spasms, Kotsay steps up at first. Drew is out, the rest of the outfielders (including Kotsay) step up. If this team can stay hot and keep the momentum, there will be little problem in the post season.

And if there is, Pats start Sunday.
