What a s*** show.

August 11, 201411 yr So 60 minutes is having another special on arod tonight. Arod's group threatened to kill Bosch. Wtf
August 11, 201411 yr Reading through the thread and the speculation about who may have used PEDs gets me weary. I remember a couple doctors at my old country club speculating like sports fans not necessarily doctors, suggesting that a guy that tore a bicep muscle must have been using steroids. They sounded very convincing. Odd injury that almost never happens with baseball players, etc. When I realized they were speaking about Frank Thomas, I just laughed. I like it when guys are caught and it is proven, the speculation just kind of bugs me at this point. Maybe that's what MLB wants.
November 5, 201411 yr What a jerk. A) admit use in exchange for immunity. B) Sue your supplier and deny usage. C) Pay off people who could bury you. I hope MLB bans him for life and that the HOF does as well.

As of today his entire career is under question, plus he has never come clean publicly and asked for forgiveness. It would honestly be easier to argue Barry Bonds for the HOF, as there is a pretty clear line that is almost universally agreed to as to when he started using. For ARod, it is so early in his career, it calls everything into doubt.

November 6, 201411 yr The date "skinny ASU/Pirates" Bonds started using and went from borderline HOF with great defense, steals and XB power (but not 40-70 homers annually)?

That was 2 years after the Congressional hearings and during the pendency of the Mitchell investigation. Arod hadn't yet been officially busted, but the Yanks had to know what they were getting into. As much as I would love to see Arod denied the money, I have absolutely no sympathy for the Yankees here.
