What an asshole! No way he should ever make the HOF. In fact, all of his stats should be wiped clean. Statistically speaking, he never played MLB.

He can come back at the start of next season.

It's official. A-Rod gets suspended for 2013 & 2014 seasons. Suspension to begin on Thursday.

Rodriguez filed an appeal, which will allow him to play for the Yankees until it is decided by an arbitrator -- likely to cover the remainder of the season. Rodriguez will claim as a first-time violator of the Joint Drug Agreement that he is being treated more harshly than due process should allow. MLB will argue that Rodriguez violated the JDA multiple times, including three years of PED use through the Biogenesis clinic (2010-12) as well as obstructing its investigation.

Why make it such a sideshow and distraction? Suspend ARod, agree if his suspension is ONLY this season,he's served it,move on. Else the whole thing. No reason to allow a guy who WILL BE suspended one way or another, to play while appealing in this case. It's not like an appeal of a bean-ball/brawl incident.

SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/5/2013 3:42:09 PM)
Fantastic round table right now on espn about DDay today .... Olney, stark, others .... Incredibly honest talk about what's going on. Finally some straight talk. These type media guys know more than they let on about what and why these guys are taking stuff. They're being honest today.

Todd G -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/5/2013 3:46:48 PM)
They needed to just flat out ban A-Rod for life. Steroids will continue to be a stain on the integrity of the game until players face a real penalty for using them. Now you can use them, get paid, get suspended, come back and still get paid. There's no reason for them not to do it. Baseball management is just as culpable now as the users are. It's all a fraud.

So why A-Roid for life but none of the others? Braun only gets 60 meaningless games and A-Roid gets a life suspension?

Granville with some good contributions too Talked about HR expectations for CFers going from 10 to 25 in a couple years. (On teams who like HRs) Olney .... Brady Anderson and cal Ripken stayed in a separate hotel from the rest of the team. Whoa ... Do we have some other things being leaked today? [:-] Was brought up when watching all the Yankees get on the bus in Chicago .... Except arod, who took a limo.

Braun only gets 60 meaningless games and A-Roid gets a life suspension? No, I agree, they should ban them all for life, but I think A-Rod was a gimme. That would have been the minimum acceptable penatly for me. Braun is in the same boat at A-Rod. They can't really do that though for the other players as it's goverened by the collective bargaining agreement. A-Rod they could get for his attempts to cover it up.

Great point by Cowlishaw .... Guys ripping Girardi for playing him ... Cowlishaw says "if he doesn't, he's stuck sitting next to him for three hours, and who'd volunteer for that?" [&:]

Yep Put the blood IN the water The round table was fascinated ... Has there ever been a player so disliked, even by his own org? Reggie maybe?

Controversy in Boston John Henry purchases the paper that covers his Sawks What's new about that? The Twins have owned the Stribs testicles forever.

Cole De Vries on PEDs: "The guys who are trying to cheat are always trying to stay one step ahead of the guys who are trying to catch them."
