I don't think you can hold teams accountable....and honestly every team has probably had a player on PED's at some point. I think teams should be able to void contracts of players who fail drug tests, so no, I don't mind that they are "off the hook" for $$ while he's suspended....it's not like he's the only one that was doing it (and still, he never failed a drug test), and it's not like they are they only ones paying huge contracts. Buck showalter should just worry about his own team....wasn't he the rangers manager when a-rod was admittingly taking 'roids?

I bet the Yankees wonder why the A-Fraud's steroids never worked in the playoffs.

everyone gets lucky once. when you go back 2004 onward they were in the playoffs every years with him and he failed every time. it got so bad he once played a series against the Red Sox, got a single, came back to the dugout and said to Jason Giambi "I got a hit!"
Giambi replied "You got a single with no one base."

Thumbs down

How do you think I feel look at my avatar. Just remember I was AROD long before he was even born. What about McQwire, Sosa and the rest of those idiots. I love baseball but I think they get paid way to much money. Most sports are unaffordable for most families.

Now that he has been caught doing something He knew was illegal , I think he is a whinny ass baby, pointing fingers at everyone else.

My 14yr old daughter has more balls than he does. Plus we brought her up knowing the difference of right & wrong. she tells the truth, no matter if she is in trouble or not

Now they say he leaked info on Ryan Braun. The rest of the league is going to be all over his ass now that he broke the code.

When you have a code, nothing, should break it.
