April 30, 200917 yr A new book is coming out that details AROD's steroid use in high school, steroid use in New York and his wild lifestyle on the road... IMO, it couldn't happen to a better guy (or team) :thumb:
April 30, 200917 yr What do you mean it couldn't happen to a better team? Are you talking about his high school team, or the Mariners, Rangers or Yankees? Afterall it seems like he used while playing for all of those teams. Why single out just the Yankees?

Afterall it seems like he used while playing for all of those teams. Why single out just the Yankees? It's mostly just because I hate the Yankees. :idunno:
April 30, 200917 yr The funniest thing to come out of this story/book is that Hooters girls don't like A Rod because he only tips them 15% :lol:

April 30, 200917 yr Here they go again bashing teams they hate, I'll set back and watch. Jealous I guess. The player has amitted this and they want more.
April 30, 200917 yr Author Here they go again bashing teams they hate, I'll set back and watch. Jealous I guess. The player has amitted this and they want more. Actually he admitted that he used them in Texas. He lied about everything else (if the book is true).
April 30, 200917 yr Author Other things alleged in Roberts' book, according to the Daily News: • 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's off-the-field antics including his poker habit; his divorce from his wife, Cynthia; his relationship with Madonna and his other affairs are detailed. • A-Rod was hated at Hooters, where he tipped the minimum 15 percent.
April 30, 200917 yr I thought the minimum was 10%? :lol: And how is playing poker, and a divorce/dating Madonna "antics"? That is his personal life and has nothing to do w/ baseball IMO. I'm not an Arod fan at all btw.
April 30, 200917 yr Here they go again bashing teams they hate, I'll set back and watch. Jealous I guess. The player has amitted this and they want more. For those who are without sin....throw the first stone. He has been clean for several years. He was told he was clean back 2003. He had an injury. He was young. He was wrong. Lets hope that all players see this and learn. This is a totally different set of circumstances. Both A-Roid and his supporters tried to lead us to believe that he has been clean since before he joined the Yankees. Remember what you said when the steroid allegations originally came out--its in the 2nd quote. Well it looks like it was more than just having an injury and that he knew he wasn't clean. The more and more things come to light about A-Roid the more and more I'm glad that the Red Sox weren't able to complete that trade for him back in 2003. I'd much rather play against him than to have him on my team.
April 30, 200917 yr Author And this is the guy that is/was supposed to bring respectability to the home run record...
April 30, 200917 yr Does it really matter? If he comes back and lights it up the supporters will care less and the haters will complain. If he comes back and flops the supporters will be let down and the haters will feast on a man while he's down. It's pretty simple really. We all know he's wrong. I don't think anybody trusts him too much. He has hurt his character but the sad thing is those steroids have landed him more money than everybody on BGP combined times some.
