With or wothout roids...a pure hitter.  To bad he wears that uniform.  He'll never be appreciated in NY

So what your saying trueblu86 is that players cannot be good without using roids and drugs.  Take a look a Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer.  Mauer missed the first month of April and still has 14 homers with an average over .400.  Justin has 19 homers with .310 average.  The point is a lot of greats, ted williams, and a lot in todays game do not use steroids so players do not have to take them to be stand-out.

I think it's funny how everyone on these boards condemns him with no proof other than the positive testing in Texas. I read a lot of the "oh, kick all the cheaters out of baseball." Funny thing is, if we were to do that, a lot of you ****s wouldn't even have teams to root for. Cheating has been a part of baseball forever, whether it was corking bats or using pine tar. Shut up about the purity of the sport. Anyone who thinks ANY sport is pure is delusional and naive. HGH is not even tested in baseball; who would like to take a tally of how many players on how many teams use that? Mariners, Yankees, Red sox, doesn't matter what team the players are on. The owners and the fans EXPECT results. If I'm a player, making LEAGUE MINIMUM, I'm still going to cheat if it gets me to a higher pay grade. Grow up people. You'd all do the same if you were in their shoes.

i agree, a total cheater, and b-i-t-c-h. I never really had any feelings for him good or bad before the alcs where he slapped arroyo's hand, after that ive hated him ever since, hes a disgrace to a disgraceful uniform

Hallesy knows what's up. This isn't a history test. This is serious cheating. This guy's making 33 million dollars and batting 207. He should be ashamed of himself. He has let down his fans, and his sport.

Not one of my comments is dumb. Steriods are cheating and make anyone with any talent at all into a great player. My true guess is that AROID started roids as a teenager and that is why he is in the Majors. As far as anyone else taking roids I feel the same way aboout them as I do about AROID. Once a cheater they should be kicked out of the league, have an asterick by the name and be made to repay any money they have been paid to the fans and owners for cheating!

Let me get this straight. Did madman really say STERIODS DO NOT MAKE A PLAYER BETTER! OK I think we all understand madman is not worth spending anymore time on!

Mendoza line isnt that where Big Poopie has been for almost half the year. I guess evan good guys can juice.

hallesy<br /><br />All your comments ive seen have been dumb first off there is not a team that has not had at least 4 players on roids and that includes the blowsox. roids do not make a player better. Want proof look at the great Rangers team that arod was on how far did they go with no less then 7 players juicing. With or without roids he is 100 percent of a better athlete then you have ever dreamed of being so get off his back how bout jumping on someone like sammy i never took roids sosa or Roger Clemons who had been roiding it since his day with the sox get off the people that came clean

Hallesy I am with you 100%.

Man there is a bunch of stupid people on here. Problem is anyone can use a computer, but as it shows here, you don't need an IQ over 40 to write stupid stuff. Case in point, hallesy.

what a loser

I wonder if he will go 0 for 4 again today. He will go on a crazy hitting streak soon and that will be indications that he knows he must cheat to win. ARoid hitting streak means testing time for AROID. and when he tests positive again fine the cheater and fine the Yankees as they have player after player caught cheating!

Aroid always looks like a clown to me, always looks fake, yes he had put some numbers under drugs used, but never when those number were mostly needed, right now we are looking at the real cheater and guaranteed he'll get worse, he's going down hill from this point on, watch and laugh, teams are already walking TEX to get Aroid at the plate. remember last weekend with the Mets

Tommy, my comments were not dumb. They were right on. I watched almost every game AROID ever played as a Mariner and I always thought am I watching a good athlete or is this guy on something. I am convinced that he has been taking steriods since well before he was drafted. I honestly think you were not watching good baseball from Arod. What you were watching was some skinny punk ass kid who took steriods since he was young and basically cheated his way into one of the best careers in baseball. I mean you are pretty niave to think he would start taking steriods in Texas when his contract would be in jeapardy. No he started I am sure before he was a Mariner. I remember watching him saying he is not even human and he would dominate entire games. It was not him it was Steriods. Once a cheater always a cheater. Look at Griffey, Randy Johnson, Edgar, Ichiro, and Dave Edler. They are all true Mariner Legends. <br />So tell me where I am wrong. I am also going to make another bold but correct decision. I assume AROID will start getting his batting average going again soon and start hitting real good. Why becasue I think we have already seen how bad AROID is without steriods. Look at his average now. It is getting close to the Mendoza line. Pure and simple AROID is a cheater. Anything he has ever done on or off the field should be discounted. He should have to give all of his money back to the fans and owners who paid him. He is a loser for taking steriods pure and simple. <br />If AROID had not taken them I would be his biggest fan!

ya hallesy that was a dumb comment, ARod is a damn good player even if he did take roids. <br />saw him in seattle when he first came into the league was pretty impressed!

Wpix shadddaaappp Sosa was terrible when he was a white sock without roids. Bonds had Bonilla and Van slyke protecting him when he was skinny thus alot of fastballs. You want a guy that succeded off of drive Lou Gehrig a rod is a cheater plain and simple. Mitchell report or not. Plus Gehrig and the rest would turn in their graves if they could see what the yankees have become. Boston is Americas team plain and simple and everyone knows it, and I am a Mariners fan. Even people in other countries hate the Yanks , allthey are is another Manchester United or Detroit redwings or Dallas cowboys but the afor mentioned don't do roids.

Coach82 are you a paid consultant for AROID! I see you can leave a comment criticizing someone but you are either paid to try to restore his image or you are just a complete moran. I see a stupid comment criticizing me but I see no facts to back up what you say. I challenge you to prove 1 thing I have said wrong. Is Aroid a cheater. Yes anyone who used steriods is a cheater. Even in the 70's it was known that the football players that started using steriods were dying in their 40's and early 50's. Yes baseball did not ban steriods but anyone who knew anything about sports knew that if you took steriods it was cheating. Pure and simple cheating. You can criticize but how will you ever know if AROID would have even made it into the majot leagues without cheating. It has also been stated in a new book that is coming out that he stole his own teams signs and gave it to the opposing team in echange for the same courtesy. I assume you feel if he did that he should still be allowed to play in the majors. HUH Now who is looking like the idiot you dumb jerk!!! Also we will never know if AROID has a good game if it is because of talent or because he is cheating. <br />The only way you can win any argument is if you tell me Steriods is not cheating and if AROID has not used steriods his entire life. <br />As far as who has more knowledge of baseball and all sports I do not think a person alive has more knowledge than I do at most sports and especially the combined sports. <br />Good luck in your little pathetic life because that is obviously what you have coming on here and defending an idiot cheater who has done more to hurt baseball than Pete Rose or anyone else ever has!!!

Hallesy<br /><br />Really stupid comment. You must be living in the fantasy world along with your avatar. How much baseball have you played clown. Guys with all the answers and who are super critical of others either never played the game or got splinters in their butts.
