AROD May Be Banned from Baseball?!?!

[ctownboy]

Good.

How many times can a player use steroids or other PED's, deny it, lie about it, get away with it and then continue to do it while wiping everybody noses in it?

A Rod signed his big contract with the Rangers and, over the years, was asked NUMEROUS times about steroid use and abuse. Every time he denied he was a user.

A Rod opted out of his big dollar, long term deal to sign an even bigger dollar long term deal. Only AFTER signing this deal (which had NO language in it about steroid use and voidance of the contract) did A Rod admit that, yes, he did use steroids. But, only AFTER he signed the first big contact and before the MLB steroid policy was put into place in 2004.

I say, if if MLB has the goods on A Rod and he wants to fight the process, then MLB SHOULD ban A Rod.

This will punish him for past transgressions (which are most likely MORE than one) while also sending a message to other players that using, cheating, lying and being smug about it will not be tolerated.

I would LOVE to see Arod get the lifetime ban. That could be just what baseball needs to send a message to the rest of the league. My guess is he will make a deal with MLB and "retire".

And why not?

What makes you so sure....

I'm calling lifetime ban for sure....

Not like he can play anymore anyway

[Brian Van Horn]

I will believe it when I see it.

[barrysloate]

His career is pretty much over anyway, he doesn't have very much gas left in the tank. And he won't get into the HOF because of his steroid use. The only thing he will lose is money. Given how arrogant he has been I won't be shedding even a single tear if he receives a lifetime ban. And I used to love to watch him play when he was still a great player. No sympathy at all.

[ullmandds]

I agree with you 100%, Barry. Even if he gets a large suspension...ie. 150+ games his career will most likely be over...although based on his historical arrogance I just don't see him just disappearing into the night?!?!

And on the other hand...

I Think they should have Doctor's & Nurse's waiting for them at the end of the tunnel Freely Injecting any & All Takers...

I want to see 800 ft Home Run's and Pitcher's Lasting Double Header's... Just Like "Big Ed" Walsh did Back in the Day!

If they want to do this stuff.. Then Let'em... They will cheat anyway... & that my Fellow Baseball Fans is just what is gonna continue to happen!

"Line'em uP, Knock'em Out or Sit'em Down"

Come on now... wouldn't Like to see 110 mile an hour fast ball? Or even a 5 foot hanging curve ball?

Maybe Pfizer's Name would even be a the Ball instead of Rawlings!

Didn't Our President say that we needed "Change"... Now that's a change I can live with... their gonna do it anyway....

JMHO

a little voice from the Stan...

[TUM301]

Retire, no way, banned doubt it, play again 50/50.

[TistaT202]

As a Yankee fan, and a baseball fan, I hope he never plays again...not sure if that will be a result of a lifetime ban or simply because he physically cannot stay healthy (esp. without the juice).

its amazing how many Yankee fans DONT WANT THIS GUY...

that is VERY TELLING....usually at least, you get the hometown support...

[HOF Auto Rookies]

I have a firm/strong belief that ARod, nor any other players 'implicated' in this will get suspended etc.

I am working on typing my reasoning, so please give me time

Great point. On another thread we have Bill ready to lay down his life for Ryan Braun, but no Yankee fans will defend ARod. They hate him more than the rest of us do.

PS- Bill, no offense. I don't agree with your defense of Braun but I respect you for trying.
