I said 15 years ago he would one day be the HR King.
A-Rod hits 600
- Thread starter thehashman
- Start date
first off im not a fan of the man.
hes a prick.
steriods or not.....
it still takes ALOT of skill to even HIT a homerun.
Alex had that skill coming up.
He just didnt have the power to KILL the ball.
so he, like 90% of the other players in the league in the 90s took roids.
he;s only singled out because of the HR records.
If someone like jeter whom hits singles all day long and took roids and started to double all day long.....no one would bat an eye.

Jeter hits tons of doubles, he hit two today, a single and a sweet bunt for a hit going 4 for 4.
congrats to A-Rod anyway, I agree it's a tainted record but true talent is what's doing it today for him.

A-Rod admitted and was punished for his small involvement in steroids. I watched his career from the minor leagues. He never took enough to change his physical appearance like Bonds did, and Everyone pretty much was taking them in that era. He is not taking them now and he is still doing what he has always done, hitting them over the fence. I have watched him play Many a game in person and I have seen him and his workout before the game. Some may put an asterisk by A-Rod when a small part of his career may be tainted, but there are some who's whole career is tainted. You look at A-Rod's record and from the very beginning, once he started playing a full season in the Majors, and you will see consistency, solid statistics, and awards. He was punished and taken out for his involvement in steroids in 2003.
Id say theres still a good amount of athletes still using steriods. Different types of steriods are being created everyday, and they can only be banned once the regulators find out what it is they are using. I kno for a fact that the majority of football players are taking the latest versions of prohormones that are not being tested for yet.
Small involvement ?.... I didnt rob a big bank ...just a little one. If you really want to defend him just go back and notice that when all these guys were taking these substances there was no rule against them in baseball. No rules were broken. Bonds set "the record" so he got the brunt of the punishment for everyone.
Ballplayers have been taking enhancement drugs since the beginning of baseball. Whatever was available they used. How is it any different then any other time. Babe Ruth drank before a game and thought it relaxed and helped him. Many people take meds that help them concentrate better for what they now call ADHD.... if they percieve that it helps them perform better how is that any diff then anyone taking anything whether you put the name "STEROID" on it or not.
Saying A-roid just took a little bit and not as much as the other guys is some how supposed to make it any different ? what a weak idea that is .

LETS GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well he ain't cheatin' now and we're kickin' everyone's ass
even God's a Yankees fan...
NY Daily News:
Second baseman Luis Castillo dropped a routine pop-up by Alex Rodriguez with two outs in the ninth, turning what would have been the final out of a Mets win into the most unlikely game-ending error the Yankees have ever seen. Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira both scored on Castillo's blunder, lifting the Bombers to a 9-8 win over the Mets.
that was game 1 of the subways series in the new Yankee Stadium and the Mets were that one out from winning it when Gods great hand swatted the ball from Castillo's mitt.
I was sitting in Sal's Pizzeria shop in Mamaroneck NY and Sal (a Mets fan) was rubbing it in to me, "Oh lookie there Dave the Yanks are gonna lose to the Mets in their new house!" when BAM!!!!!!! 2 runs score!
I stood and shouted "God's a Yankees fan!" then turned to Sal and quietly asked him, "were they playing at Yankee Stadium tonight Sal?"
Sal was speechless.......
3 home runs so far 2 night so fuck all you hater!1!!!! were number 1 ur shit were great all u are loosers just jealous assholes and haters no matter how much u hate or cry u will never reach a level of respect like we get history dont lie/. were the best you all can suck it!!
YANKEES RULE!!!!
YANKEES RULE!!!!
A-Rod steps in as DH tonight and blasts 3 homers driving in 5 runs.......
talent
hey Stoney, did you know that the viewership of the 2009 (Yankees/Phillies) world series was up 45% from the year before (Phillies/Rays)?
proving that the Yankees ALWAYS command a bigger crowd, I watch every game on MLB.com & constantly hear this "this is the first time this year we have 3 consecutive sellout games in a row!" @ "whatever" stadium the Yankees are playing at.......
the most recognized, revered, feared and successful sports franchise in history bar none.
God is a Yankee fan
oh yeah? well nanana booboo to you too.
I could start putting down every lowlife Philthy player to ever live but hey!!!!!!! I was just talking up the Yankees and NOT talking down your piece of shit 2nd place team.......
you ain't even a sports fan just a poor loser
