Of course it's because he plays for my sqaud, he is the best player on my favorite team and led them to the world series last year. I was never a fan of his personality until last year, just his ability. That is why we watch sports, right?

HAHA - that is absolutely hilarious.

However, you're wrong on 2 levels:
-Hamels has never been linked to any PED's.
-Phillies fans clearly don't really like the guy, and are always looking for some reason to dog on him, even after he won the franchise's 2nd World Series MVP award. I actually do like the guy - so he's a metro, so what - he gets the job done and he doesn't do anything stupid since that bar fight in Clearwater (except make stupid commercials).

There went my boycott of this thread...

yes it does.

So because you do not like someones personality he is lying and someone whos personality you do like is telling the truth? That is what you are trying to say?

petitte comes across as more believable. arod just comes across as "not a good guy."

he's a douche. he cheated. he hit 600 homers. good for him. i'm glad there's not too much fanfare about this really.

plus how does a picture of hamels hanging out with this family on a bed equate to a picture of a alex rodriguez kissing his own image in a mirror?

Funny I turned on the YES network to watch the godfather of sports talk radio and instead arods at bat and next thing I watch is his 600th homer.

Arod addmitted to using roids after he lied on 60 minutes infront of millions and millions households. He's still a cheat and a nutjob.


You root for the team not the players on that team

In all seroiusness, people are way to concerned with athletes personalities these days with the 24 hour news cycle. For fucks sake, if the internet were around back in the day, every player in baseball would be considered a complete fucking scumbag.

I have no problem with scum bags. Only thing I ever appreciated about A-Rod is gallivanting with that stripper.

Dude loves hookers from what I hear. Same with Eli Manning but that is a whole different story.

I try to limit my making fun of Eli. It's not right to make fun of people with Down Syndrome.

I didn't mean to open a can of worms. All I know is that Eli and the NY Giants gave me one of my favorite moments in my sports fan career.

Hank Aaron is just the man. Dude gets it.

"When you reach that plateau, no matter where it is, whether you're playing in the Majors or the Minors, it's a tremendous accomplishment. It means an awful lot to whoever reaches this achievement . . . It really doesn't matter what kind of asterisk you put by it -- 600 homers is something special."

I'm not gonna make excuses for A Rods roid use, it is what it is.

The double standards and the way public opinion has on this is bullshit. So a guy with a bad personality gets buried harder then a guy we all think is a "good guy" gets redemption?? Why do we all think we know athletes based on media bias?? I don't care how someone treats the
media! Most of the time these reporters are more concerned with being buddy buddy with someone than being fair.

I know one thing( hate to bring him up, cause I never rooted for him) but the way Bonds was treated vs all the others was not right! I know I'm crazy.... But look at his strikeout ratios and pitchers flat out pissing themselves everytime they faced him. Was he using different steroids?? Cause his numbers kill those of alot of these guys who took it so they wouldn't wash out or to get that big contract. Baseball gets fruity the way we throw out pcs of info to make someone look worse fir the same crime someone else did. We have to look at it thru the same prism.

I know Bonds never confessed and that makes him hated more but as a Yankee fan the only reason a rod confessed was he was caught dead to rights... Just being honest. He lied at 1st... He had other players situations (bonds, maguire etc) that took place before to come up with his strategy.

I think baseball officials are more responsible.... They had to know

my 2 cents

with arod, its really not all about that. its trying to knock the ball out of the dude's glove in the alcs 6 or 7 years ago. its yelling at the 3rd basemen when he's waiting to catch the pop up. it's walking across the damn pitchers mound earlier this year. again--he comes across not only as a douche, but as a bad guy. his douchiness combined with the whole cheating thing pushes him over the edge.

i agree with the 24 hour news cycle though. it makes me hate our culture. case in point: http://deadspin.com/5603701/brett-favre ... e=true&s=i

this should be none of our business. yet, somehow it is.

jenn sterger by the way--100% hot.

Yeah, and he also acknowledged Bonds on the jumbo screen when he broke Aaron's record. All any of this says to me is Hank Aaron = really, really nice guy.

Craigh Calceterra says it best

And really, why wouldn't he? When you've had the life and career that Hank Aaron has had, you don't need a record book, an ethical analysis or the arguments of fans or the media to make you feel confident of all you've accomplished. A-Rod could hit 900 homers and it wouldn't take a lick away from Henry Aaron.
