Re: A-Rod tested positive for 'roids in '03

I wonder if Griffey was juicing and thats why he was always getting injured.

wouldnt doubt it.

Except that it was widely reported that he was injured so often because he didnt take care of his body and wasnt one of those "workout warriors" so I tend to believe his injuries were more due to not taking care of himself more so then steroids degrading his body and leading to the injuries.

LOL. Best steroid related headline ever!

Re: A-Rod tested positive for 'roids in '03

After seeing that interview, the only person Arod has more credibility than is Bonds. The majority of his answers said nothing. I love how he has no idea what he put into his body. C'mon now. The good news is that most of the media saw right through it and are saying they don't believe anything the guy says.

This is still a step closer to someone spilling it all. Well someone not named Canseco.

Another inconsistency in his confession: He says the culture of the period helped drive him to steroids. But then he claims he had tunnel vision & wasn't focused on what others were doing.

Come on man , he just didn't want to dime out other players. You gonna hold that against him? Just like he was just about to throw the MLB under the bus but caught himself and just diverted it back to himself. Damn give the dude some credit.

I won't give him credit but I thought it was obvious he was trying to avoid naming names the entire interview. It was expected and shouldn't be surprising.

Re: A-Rod tested positive for 'roids in '03

I wonder when the other names will surface. Im not trying to defend Arod at all or even feel bad for him. I am a die hard Yankees fan and have lost all respect for him, but, as of right now, it seems like he is the only one taking the hit on this. I wonder if the names will slowly trickle out so the media will have something to talk about for a long time or if all the names will be revealed at once. I would prefer all the names to be revealed so that we can all move on with this crap.

Re: A-Rod tested positive for 'roids in '03

Ok... that comments sounds like it's that of a spurned Yankee fan than anything else.

Actually it's not. I'm not spurned a bit. No one can be trusted or believed anymore.

IMO, I'd bet Jeter, Tino, Brosius and a few other Yankee players from the dynasty years used at some point in time.

My point to you was saying Manny is clean is laughable.

Glad he fessed up and we don't have to hear never ending coverage of the A-Rod cover-up. Even though his career is now tainted, at least he (and we) can move on.

And Clemens.

I agree get it all out now, and be done. IMO these other names are going to leak anyway and we'll be hearing about this for who knows how long.

Re: A-Rod tested positive for 'roids in '03

I just think tis funny that Kenny Rogers was blatantly cheating in the world series and nobody even talks about that.

but dude uses something to help him workout more intesenly and his "legacy" is tainted.

baseball has the CRAZIEST double standard.

It would be cool to know everyone who was doign it... but it doesnt matter, we can all use our collective brainpower and deduce that if A-rod, bonds, Giambi, Gagne and whoever else were doing it...why would that stop someone else.

It's just a little Gamesmanship

Yeah, you gotta love it. Using a corked bat, a pitcher doctoring a ball or anything like that just gets swept under the rug and no one cares but PED's are the worse thing imaginable. So stupid.

Re: A-Rod tested positive for 'roids in '03

So I went looking through so stats to see, and 2003 would probably be the highest point of the Roid era.

Take a look at the top HR hitters in 2003.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/alltim...wn=0&year=2003

2003 Home Run Leaders
RK PLAYER YEAR G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS BA
1 Jim Thome 2003 159 578 111 154 30 3 47 131 111 182 0 3 .266
2 Alex Rodriguez 2003 161 607 124 181 30 6 47 118 87 126 17 3 .298
3 Barry Bonds 2003 130 390 111 133 22 1 45 90 148 58 7 0 .341
4 Richie Sexson 2003 162 606 97 165 28 2 45 124 98 151 2 3 .272
5 Javy Lopez 2003 129 457 89 150 29 3 43 109 33 90 0 1 .328

7 Frank Thomas 2003 153 546 87 146 35 0 42 105 100 115 0 0 .267
8 Carlos Delgado 2003 161 570 117 172 38 1 42 145 109 137 0 0 .302

10 Sammy Sosa 2003 137 517 99 144 22 0 40 103 62 143 0 1 .279
11 Gary Sheffield 2003 155 576 126 190 37 2 39 132 86 55 18 4 .330
12 Jeff Bagwell 2003 160 605 109 168 28 2 39 100 88 119 11 4 .278
13 Jim Edmonds 2003 137 447 89 123 32 2 39 89 77 127 1 3 .275
14 Rafael Palmeiro 2003 154 561 92 146 21 2 38 112 84 77 2 0 .260
15 Alfonso Soriano 2003 156 682 114 198 36 5 38 91 38 130 35 8 .290

It's basically a who's who of Steroid users. I wonder how many of those players were on it in 2003.

I would say there are a few that I could say would be more than likely to be on roids, like Richie Sexson and Javy Lopez.
