    A-Rod back on the Juice?

    He's back

    Single-handedly beat the Rays tonight....2 absolute bombs for HR's and the game winning RBI single....a few HR away from breaking Willie Mays on the all time list and the Yankees might not even acknowledge it, what a joke

    Without A-Rod right now, the Yankees are probably the worst team in baseball, record wise

    The guy is how old? Turning 40 this year? Yep... I'd check his bats... and injection marks on his ass for sure.

    Big fan as well....Thought the way MLB treated him was a travesty if you actually read into the the whole BS.....Bud Selig using him as a scapegoat was a joke. He never even failed a steroid test, should have been given the same suspension as any other player

    never failed a steroid test? You mean... he never tested positive for the use of steroids?

    Not knocking his talent. He wanted to be EVEN BETTER than his God given talent. That's why he took roids. That's his doing. He will always be tarnished for it... some people (like A-Rod) don't know when to stop.

    Yeah, he was caught through the doctor and admitted it eventually but he never actually tested positive since MLB began testing players

    He may have been on the same list that David Ortiz was, the God from Boston who nobody gives a fukk was linked to steroids for whatever reason

    He cannot be that stupid

    He looks fresh

    I still thinks he hits no more than 20 which probably is not bad at his age

    Not gunna argue that but I have a different view on Roids in MLB than most....I believe former players when they say that 50% or more of players during the Steroid Era were atleast dabbling with them, even the pitchers....Not naive enough to think that the only players doing them were the ones that were linked or got caught....So many players from the 90s-mid 2000s were on something, it was an epidemic and Bud Selig and his cronies did jackshit until it was too late

    If you have a special talent, and were more talented than basically every single player on the planet, and saw people less talented catching up to you, what would you do? They were all using, and you would have been stupid not to, the margin for making it to the big show is so narrow that if you only had one chance in your life to make life changing money, what you gonna do?

    Anyone who thinks otherwise also walks around with a helmet.

    Deep down most people know the truth, but it's easier to hate on a select few and turn a blind eye I guess

    Picked him up last week off of the waiver wire in my league. Didn't even have to pay $1 for him.

    His body was broken down for the last several years. The suspension was the best thing for him.

    No evidence that he's taking or has ever taken steroids.

    The Yankees are trying to get out of paying the 6 million dollar bonus he will get soon for tying Mays claiming the record is tainted. Too bad. They offered this bonus knowing they would make their money back plus much more on marketing and merchandise knowing there was a good chance he was juicing.

    Yeah pathetic and hypocritical

    The Yankees coaches and front office would have been long gone if not for A-Rod...he dominated in the playoffs during their World Series winning 2009 season....Without that title everyone would have been out

    Well if Alex keeps playing like this he's well worth that 6 mill bonus, no? If he was scrubbing it up thatd be different. He is indispensable to the Yankees team and audience right now
