Thread integrity please. This thread is dedicated to the awesomeness that is the AFraud. The single biggest theft in the history of sports. He pretty much symbolizes everything that is wrong with the professional athlete.
They were about 24 games over .500 when he was in the lineup. And 1 game over when he was out. They lost the majority of the 10 game lead when he was out for the month. Of course it's not all him. In '09 they started winning again when he came back to the lineup

I would have to say he had very little if nothing to do with it to be honest.

Alex Rodriguez' woes continue. A new Boston Globe review of IRS filings by more than 50 athletes found that the charity established by Rodriguez, as well as those by other notable players, gave far less than the expected percentage of their income to actual charitable causes.
Nonprofits are generally expected to donate 65 to 75 percent of their revenues to charitable causes, with the remainder going to pay whatever expenses and, if necessary, salaries of nonprofit employees. But according to the Globe, nearly half of the 50 athletes' foundations reviewed fell below that line.
Rodriguez was not the only athlete whose foundation failed to meet acceptable giving rules, but his was certainly one of the most notorious misses. In 2006, Rodriguez teamed with Jay-Z for a charity poker tournament that helped the A-Rod Family Foundation raise $403,862. (Final reported records often differ from the "big check" as posted above because of facility use and similar expenses.) However, the IRS reported that barely 1 percent of that total reached charities: $5,000 to Jay-Z's Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund and $90 — yes, ninety dollars — to a Little League baseball team in Miami. The organization then stopped submitting financial reports to the IRS, and was subsequently stripped of its tax-exempt status.

So he would've hit .054 off the PEDs.
