Just move the Baseball Hall Of Fame to Vegas next door to the Elvis Wax Museum.

Does A-Rod's cousin know Andy Pettitte's dad?

I wonder what would happen if A-Rod was caught taking bong hits???

NEW. ROLE. MODEL.

Any word on the trash heap of a team the Mets are putting together?

A-Roid joins a long list of people in the news lately that no integrity. It seems like owning up to the truth like an adult might be a better option. Personally I think he should be banned from the game for a year and all players should be forced to piss in a cup several times a season. This has disgraced the Yankees and will leave a mark for years if someone doesn't act on A-roid's conduct.

"It seems like owning up to the truth like an adult might be a better option"

How many of the 103 other players who failed the survey test -- and the unknown number who didn't fail that test in spite of using some kind of PED -- do you expect to do that before their names come out?

" This has disgraced the Yankees and will leave a mark for years if someone doesn't act on A-roid's conduct."

He wasn't a Yankee when he tested positive to this supposedly confidential and anonymous test, and at the time under the Collective Bargaining Agreement there was no penalty in place for using steroids. The Agreement, in fact, was modified before the testing to specifically state that there would be no sanctions. So, he can't be punished by the league and the Yankees can't be assigned the blame.

Does any of this make him any less of an overpaid dick? Nope not one bit... The Yankees took this pariah on and then resigned him after he opted out... The Yankees and Arod are meant for each other.

I really don't care if he injects himself with moondust, as long as he can maybe DO SOMETHING in the post-season.

I'm glad this kind of stuff never happened in pro football or other sports. It would be a big let down for the fans.

Have you heard of Lyle Alzado? He was a star for the Broncos and Raiders in the 70s-80s who toured schools throughout the country to discuss his steriod abuse after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Also, HGH is not tested in the NFL (or baseball). If the league did test, it's reasonable to think that many players would be caught.

you people are taking this way too seriously..

waiting for the "zomg what about the children!!!"

I don't know how A-Rod can say that he was young and stupid and that he didn't know what he was taking, but at the time he took it, drug use was just the culture in baseball (as he did in the ESPN interview).

The whole thing was a farce. Saying you are sorry doesn't erase what you did. Allowing some relative to stick a needle in you for years is not being naive. It is premeditated. I am sure Aroid had a cluster of advisors who he could have easily asked if what he was doing was okay. There are trainers on each team who could have easily said sure the stuff is fine or no I can get you better shit. Saying you didn't go to college is hardly an excuse. George W. Bush went to college and we all know what an idiot he is.

the yankees are dead to me. Giambi, pettit, clemens, Sheffield, and now A-rod. C'mon now! Just cling on to the 96-2000 yankees memories cause there is no way I'm supporting these roided up douchebags. Any person who supports the yankees now probably loves being cuckolded too.

Clemens, Pettit, Jose Canseco, Jason Grimsley, and even Darryl Strawberry... all were on the team during those "glory years." Is their steroid, HGH, and drug use just forgiven during those years because they won a few championships?

It's not forgiven, but every team had players that were using performance enhancing drugs. (I'm not sure why you mention Strawberry here; he did coke in the 80s and had other problems after his career but he's not tied to steriod abusers).

The point was just that it's not the case that the Yankees of 1996-2000 were clean-cut schoolboys in comparison to today's team. I mentioned Strawberry just because he is famously not "clean," and made a distinction by inserting "even" before his name and mentioning the more general term "drug use." Not performance enhancing, but he was no All-American Boy.

Babyhitler listed five players and drew a comparison between the current team and those teams of "memories." Only two of those players are Yankees currently, and two of them were on the team during those years. So... what's the difference?

You're absolutely Right. Fuck the Yankees in general. Fuck 96-00. I'll take it for what it was when it was but I won't look back on it fondly anymore but I'll look back in anger. the sentiment that was attached to it has become grotesquely perverted. I never thought Simon And Garfunkel would be so right. Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you.

"Fuck the Yankees in general"

You may as well go with "fuck baseball in general," because this really has nothing to do with the Yankees. Those five players you mentioned collectively have played for the A's, Astros, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Brewers, Padres, Mariners, Dodgers, Braves, Tigers, Mariners, and Rangers. Twelve teams right there. And 104 players were on the list that Alex Rodriguez' name was on. Anyone who doesn't believe that this is about absolutely every team in baseball has their head in the sand.

The Yankees weren't, and aren't, immune to it but also are no more responsible for it or symptomatic of it than any other club.
