MLB Suspends Arod for two years!

[Shockwave]

a-rod= a needle in his arm of peace

I don't think we get to throw stones Johnny.

If they try to ban ARod, then they need to ban Selig as well, as he was complicit in the whole steroid scandal from the get-go.  Either he knew and did nothing to help baseball return from the strike saga, or he didn't and was oblivious to what was right under his nose.  Either should be grounds for dismissal.  I hate that the media is treating him like some anti-drug crusader - he's as guilty as any of these guys.

lol...He's done. Retire.

Agreed. His numbers off the gear are terrible. Plus grandpa turn 45 next year any way, or close to it.

People have long been saying that Latin players have taken over baseball and are the best players.

12 of the 13 players just banned for PED use were Latin

The news has caused 5.0 aftershocks to convulse through San Pedro de Macorís. One quake was so violent that it caused Tony Fernandez's foreskin to fall clean off yesterday. He now claims he's Hebrew and only eats kosher fried plantains. Local shoeless boys with major-league dreams are reported to have found the foreskin under some heavy rubble and are at work fashioning it into a makeshift first-basemen's mitt.

Babe ruth will always be the G.O.A.T. and an honorary getbigger.  The dude survived on beer, hotdogs, and hookers. He was also a dominant pitcher before turning into the bambino.

All fat. All natural.

Meh... The uproar of PEDs is ridiculous.

It's bullshit for them to keep jumping up and down. As long as the money is guaranteed and that good, you're gonna take whatever it takes.

People need to let it go.

"Nooo, our wholesome game that we peddle to our kids, and is as American as Apple pie needs to be clean. We are Americans, which means we are the moral compass of all that is good and clean. And our sports, especially baseball represent our core values."

Yep, our core values---multi-million dollar athletes, who will take anything to stay ontop to guarantee that they are worth those millions and and to keep them coming.

I just know that most people loved watching the runs for the records... The long ball was what people were clambering for... It helped baseball tremendously.

Now it's bad?

American Hypocrisy. Viagra is cool for old men, and so is HGH, but steroids and HGH are bad for younger guys and athletes.
 People clamor for more, and the athletes have to take whatever to justify the breaking of records, longer seasons, and higher pay. Just like in bbing, people want to see the freaks. But, unlike bbing, the public is naive in thinking that these people are genetic phenoms that either were from the cornfields of Nebraska or the streets of the Dominican Republic and have no help whatsoever.
The head honchos want this squeaky clean image, when they know it's not the truth. Yet make billions on the hype of "long ball records falling".
