    Phenomenal. Watched this video the other day and bookmarked it. Possibly the best month or so ever. Yankees playoff run, went to game two against the Angels when he tied it up in the rain. Then Pearl Jam at the Spectrum. Awesome.

    Incredible. So much fun to watch. I love how all these baseball writers are offended, butt hurt and crying about Arod cheating or lying.

    Best part is, he didn't lie yesterday so now they are calling him a cheater. And if he lied yesterday, they would have calling him a lying cheater. I fucking hate them.

    This story doesn't change a god damn thing about 2009 for me.

    And this...

    "Postseason MVP. Wow," Rodriguez said Saturday night. Pausing for effect he added, "What's next, the good guy award?"

    polaris x if MLB went the way of bodybuilding and had a "clean" division with no PEDs and an "open" division with a "free for all" policy regarding PEDs which version of the game are you watching? you think the best athletes are going to stick it out in the "clean" division? NFW...

    i might be naive here but i think most mlb players aren't on PEDs ... so, most of the talent is "clean" ... granted ... these suspensions only came about because of a whistleblower so it's quite possible most guys are cheating ... but based on the general reaction of the players ... i believe they want to play and compete in a "clean" environment ...

    but i'm a different breed too than most ... i really don't care for stats and records and wins if the athlete is a douchebag ... and AROD is above everything else one of the biggest out there ... ya - so, are a lot of athletes but it doesn't make him any better ... the guy is getting 211 games because of lying and obstructing the investigation ... threatening and bullying people ... that's sooo lance armstrong and guys like that i just have no respect for ...

    A) A-Rod isn't the Yankees

    B) Weren't you guys picked to win it all this year and you're in last place

    c) If you think Bautista isn't using, I have bad news for you.

    That's the thing this was one person who decided to flip on 15...what about the others who are using but their guy isn't flipping?

    Welp, that about does it. Hopefully they don't put this nonsense on the field again next year.

    a. ya ... but watching yankee fans support a guy that is perpetually hated by pretty much everyone else says a lot ...

    b. not by any major sports publication ... and ya - we're in last place in the toughest division in baseball ... sure, it sucks but right now i'd rather be a jays fan then someone having to cheer for this douche ...

    c. you got any proof ... like anything? ... or is this another it's ok for arod cuz everyone's using? ...

    and i will reiterate my position on PEDs and the people who use them ... i don't care if someone uses them because obviously there is a shit load of money at stake here ... what bothers me is when they are caught they don't have the decency to own up to it ... instead lie and try and bully other people because they have a shit load of money to pay lawyers (see lance armstrong) - arod's doing the exact same thing ...

    Tune in Friday night to see how much Yankees fans support Arod. I don't disagree with your stance on PEDs

    well this is the thing...if you tell the truth, in the present moment, you are totally fucked. why not just open it up, and let everyone be honest with what they are doing. i mean aaron and mays were amphetamined up, mike schmidt same, the 85 mets and 79 pirates were coke fiends, and we celebrate these teams and players. why? because we really don't care...so i say stop pretending.
