If he is guilty then he should serve 50 games. If he is innocent he should fight.BUT MLB is going after him big time and a little unfairly. Leaks in the press, lifetime ban. Hasn't what Braun done also constitute a lifetime ban in that case, he lied, mislead his team, teammates, fans and hurt baseball. This is too weird
The comments to that article are telling. Among the blowhard class, there is no love for A-Rod. This only makes me want even more to see him at 3B. Screw all those self-righteous pricks. A-Rod is an oddball, no doubt about it. But he's OUR oddball!
I'll take the money it would save us over the production he won't provide any day of the week. At best it's a lost season for him. At worst for him, 100M for the Yanks. Stick with what we have, get younger at 3rd in the future and let him and everyone else live with the mistakes they've made. He went out and advocated to keep young people off the juice, so if ANY amount of the crap that MLB is spewing about the evidence they have against him (and don't get me wrong, I agree they and ESPN HATE the yanks) is true, then he deserves to burn for being a liar and a cheat...that was dumb enough to get caught.
Nyah, nyah. Stand in the corner and no dessert for you, young man!
If--big if--A-Rod is guilty of PEDding this time around, he's kind of a dope (no pun intended). He's also pretty typical of a lot more players than the ones who are part of the witch hunt.
I'm with Duque. What's with the 'morality' stuff associated with this? And please don't anyone say, 'But the children! Role model!' Babe Ruth's whoring, drunken ass tells us MLB never gave a crap about the children, and that's about the only thing I agree with them on. Kids are their parents' responsibility. This is hardball, damn it.
To all the fans that want the Yanks to take A-Rod's money and run: I'd be more inclined to have a little sympathy for this argument IF the Yanks would do as the Brewers have done. They are giving the salary savings to the FANS!! they are giving a $10 voucher to everyone who buys a ticket. The cost of all those vouchers will be about the same as their salary savings. Of course, our ownership would never consider that, would they? Nope. we get the $35 parking and $9.75 beers and a punk 3B-man. and hank and Hal would get a new villa in the south of France.
The Brewers are only doing that to get people in the park, where they will spend that voucher plus another $40. That team is going nowhere in that division of for a while and they will struggle to get fans in the door the remainder of the year without Braun being the main attraction. The Yanks, while attendance is down, don't have a problem drawing 40k plus on a weekday 1:05 start . Yeah, Hal n Hank will pocket some but I'd rather see A-rod's 27M going towards Wieters (just to piss Buck off at this point) and a younger talent at 3b and bring another title home than giving free parking. Take the #4!
I personally think that more players do it than those that don't. As far as morality goes, parents should have their children looking to THEM as role models, not athletes.

ReplyDeleteCripes, 'liar and a cheat' again.
