2 part question about A-Rod

AMBlai01 · 02-10-09, 11:50 AM

1) Yes

and since i answered Yes to number 1 I must say

2) Yes

This is also coming from a complete Yankee Homer....and I know my opinions about this subject are completely skewed and should not be taken all that seriously.

1) Yes, to admit steroid use for a couple of years indicates to me the guy is coming completely clean because he knows playing it like Clemens is a no-win situation. If he were to be discovered to have lied about this, he'd be crucified and he knows it. He'll be feathered regardless, but in immediately being contrite and admitting the entirety of his transgression is his best shot for public forgiveness down the line, and A-Rod knows it.
2.) No.

1) no

I just hate it because it really undermines the purity of the game, or that everytime that someone gets outed for roids Canceco gets on his soapbox, pimps his book and says, "toldja", but definitely one of the two.

1) No.

2) There's no such thing as Santa Claus.

This is the Jason Giambi defense. Worked for him.

I'm sorry, but you have to be a fukkking idiot to think he stopped taking when he joined the Yankees.

1) I don't believe that he took steroids at all. I mean he lied to us in past interviews, why wouldn't he be lying here?

2) Is that the same as Chaunauka Harry?

Mudcat · 02-10-09, 12:46 PM

1) Of course not. He admitted as little as possible.

I mean, he could have said, "I only did it once," but any sneaky child knows that is taking the weaseling too far. So he admitted enough so that at least a few people like Crazyl might buy in.

2) I am partial to Mr. Hanky the Christmas poo.

Giambi didn't sign the largest deal ever...
Giambi did his job in the playoffs

Giambi came right out and said, "I did it", and everyone said, "It's OK.".

1. About as much as I believe him when he said, "To be quite honest, I don't know exactly what substance I was guilty of using." So, Alex, you used a banned substance for (at least) three years, yet you're not entirely sure what it was you were putting in your body? Nice try.

2. Of course. What are you trying to tell me?

rjt721 · 02-10-09, 10:34 PM

Here's the best part of the interview:

Gammons: You're saying that the time period was 2001, '2 and '3?
Loser: That's pretty accurate, yes.

PRETTY accurate?

i would have so much respect if one of this guys came out said, "yes I took steroids, it made me millions and my family is now set for life." I dont blame them, I would have done the same thing.

Fischnasty · 02-10-09, 11:01 PM

anyone who believes that is a fool

seaborneq · 02-11-09, 12:01 AM

ARod is still taking steroids. He is a steroid lifer, all the stats are fraudulent, and he has been cheating as long as anyone else. I would say Arod has been on steroids longer than anyone other than Canseco, Pudge, Mac, and Sosa.

This was not a Giamabi type apology, A-Rod admitted a lot more. I think also A-Rod has been tested a lot since then and came clean. I know ways wo mask it but that would take balls. I say he is not doing them and did stop when he did.

Are you on his payroll too? Why should Arod be believed now? He has ALWAYS been considered a fake/fraud, now all of a sudden he is the voice of reason and the baseball face of the game is NOW the most honest man in the game/world. Get real.

1) who cares, dumb topic

2) Tough one. I'll have to say yes. I see him on TV all the time, and we all know what happens is on TV, is gospel truth.
