2009 MLB Offseason - Page 3

In Your Face, Mets fans.

WORLD "FUCKING" CHAMPIONS

Rourkefan makes me want to root against the Phils.

Hey I wrote that during the first half of the Eagles/Cards game.

Give me a break man.

On a small note, great to hear that Tony Kubek is going into the broadcasting wing of the HoF this year. He and Costas remain my all-time favourite broadcasting team from their days at NBC, and the man apparently does some excellent humanitarian work since walking away from baseball in '94.

Dear ESPN,

I don't care about Mark McGwire.

Sincerely,
Everyone

Seriously, I don't think that McGwire even gives a shit about this story.

got 900 million?
Then you could have had the Cubs.

The Ricketts are Cubs fans so hopeflly passion will rule over money when it matters. Just glad there is finally closure

The Cubs are consistently at the top of the league in payroll, so that hasn't been their problem. Spending money doesn't mean shit when you use the cash on overrated outfielders.

Only in the last few years have they spent the money. The only big name free agent the Cubs got before Sori was Andre Dawson and he was on the cheap because he wanted out of Montreal.

This has got to be the greatest thing to happen to baseball in many a moon:

The "Single White Female" description of A-Rod's relationship with Jeter is just the cherry on top.

Was about to post this same story myself; I agree its great. I never thought Torre, who is one of the classiest guys in Baseball, would let all these secrets out like this. Awesome!
i hope somewhere in the new book is a line where Torre says something like, "Alex Rodriguez will never win a world series."

AROD to have fun explaining this

I've heard rumors but now you can confirm it. Even when he gets to Bonds record* it will be tainted too.

Long live the true HR King Hank Aaron.

Unfortunately, Albert Pujols will probably destroy the record. He's a GD monster. Hopefully, he isn't on the juice.

This is huge. ARod was gonna save the day when he wiped Bonds out if the record books.

Now what, baseball?

I surely hope not. I know he's done several interviews where he says they can test him every friggin' day if they want to because he knows he doesn't use. Hopefully he's not just bluffing.

Well I guess Torre wasn't so far off calling him A-Fraud after all.

A-Rod? More like...

A-ROID! HA HA HA HA

I'd bet my life he's on the juice(hgh).

It amazed me that sportswriters and commentators thought this, but I heard it as recently as the other day.

In some ways it amuses me, because I hate the sanctimony of many of the people that cover sports; especially baseball. And with all the superstars who we've discovered have given into the temptation of the juice, it always seemed difficult (if not impossible) to believe that ARod, of all people, would be one of the ones to abstain.

Is Jose Canseco officially the most trusted name in sports now?

After watching a few episodes of Lie to Me and then seeing the clip of the AROD interview I was looking at his face to see how he answered the question.

He says no to the steroids but his head nods yes.

How long until we get another "Sterioid is not a big problem" speech from the Player's Union.

So we're to believe that the pressure was so much for him in Texas that he suddenly stopped taking them when he left for NY? I hear there's no pressure to perform there as opposed to the baseball spotlight that is Arlington Texas.

Who cares, put them all in the hall of fame - the more people that are 'outed' as cheaters just shows how corrupt the whole system has been. How are you supposed to start removing records if some scrub reliever on HGH for the Royals gives up a HR to a juiced up Bonds/A-Rod/Palmeiro etc? Just call it the steroid era and move on.

We are already getting vibes that another bunch of Congressional Hearings on Steroid use. Not thrilled about Government intervention, but it is apparent that both the players and the owners keep dropping the ball (no pun intended) on this issue.
Wonder if this will spill over into other sports...like all those people who look like the Incredible Hulk in professional wrestling.

A local sports talk show here in Sacramento is playing tapes of the past interviews in which A Rod vehmently denied he used steroids.
And I have a feeling a LOT of sports talk show hosts across the US are doing this.
The only happy guy in all this is Christian Bale because the media heat is now off him.

And Phelps, he probably did a nice big bong rip in the name of A Rod.

Or in the NFL?

Agree 100%. I know it's more personal for you, since the Mets didn't go for him, but at least this is real baseball news.

The thing I regret most about ARod's revelation is that it's headline news for months and months and months now. Seriously, why does it matter now? The Steroid Era = a huge number of players taking 'roids, and all of them lying about it until they were caught. Move on, idiots.

The Mets are really pinching pennies this off-season. Perhaps you should send a thank you note to Mr. Madoff.

Make the media all watch "Bigger, Stronger, Faster". That should help.

If anyone here hasn't seen it yet, I highly recommend it.

Interesting--the Braves are signing Ken Griffey, Jr.

Yeah, no shit. They even talked about it on the local news like it was a done deal. I saw the crawl on Sportscenter this morning that Griffey signed with Seattle, and was like, "Whaaa?"

Be thankful. He shouldn't be playing defense at this point in his career, so an AL team is the only logical option. And even then, it strains logic.

I simply can't believe Manny didn't take the Dodgers' offer. Even with all the "what the fuck?" history he brings, I'm still dumbfounded.

Incredible. Hopefully Manny and Boras have to settle for a 1yr deal somewhere.

Time and time again, I wait for Boras and his mercenary clients to get what's coming to them. I watched him rape the Dodgers over Kevin Brown. Everyone who played fantasy baseball knew the Andruw Jones signing was a disaster. I think Darren Dreifort and Chan Ho Park were Boras clients.

Please, please, please, tell Manny to go fuck himself. You do not bargain against yourself. It is a cardinal rule of business. Even before last season ended I said the Dodgers would be better off getting Adam Dunn. Well, Dunn signed for two years at 10 million per. They could have had him AND an upgrade at one or two other positions.

I wouldn't even leave the offer on the table. Boras's MO is to wait for a higher offer, then take it, and not even leave the original team with a chance to counter-offer. He's done it time and time again. Make a public announcement you are moving on.

Of course, Ned Colletti is a dumbass, so none of this will happen. If you disagree with my assessment, consider the fact that he signed Juan Pierre and Andruw Jones to big time deals while Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp were relegated to the minors and bench roles.

THIS.

What a total waste of a GM. Also, spring training has begun and we still don't have a fifth starter, and one of the other four is celebrating that he threw 11 pitches...

AROD ot 10 weeks
If there is a think as Karma then this is it.

Not sure why it took so long to have surgery.

He really loves himself.

Everybody picked the Cubs last year. Look what happened...

after so many mistakes I got to know how to avoid get rich at home frauds
