Alex Rodriguez tests positive for steroids and now ADMITS it

Look at what we're talking about on the eve of spring training. Instead of talking about who will be in the hunt for a pennant, we're wondering who the "hunted" are. This can't be good for the game.
 
Not Detroit's. Although we did have to move the left field fence in, it was ridiculously far.

Yup...other than Comerica Park.....those are OLD school dimensions....345L, 382LC, 420C, 365RC, 330R. Dolphin Stadium is similar. 335L, 385LC and RC 410C(Strange little cut pocket in dead center that makes 419 1/2) and 330R.

Yeah, depressing.

Maybe there's something us fans can do?

There are more fans of the MLB than there are players. We can form our own union. We can strike from paying entrance fees, buying merchandise and other costs associated with the game until this is brought to an end!

Who's with me?!
 
Cleaning up the game is good for the game

BUT to clean up the game, you NEED a commissioner that would put THE GAME ABOVE the owners and the players.....we have NOT had that since Fay Vincent.
For THIS commissioner, it is the financial aspects of the game to the owners FIRST, the game itself a VERY distant 2nd.

I would.....but the guys you would REALLY need are the corporate sponsors!! AND the fans that pay for thse skyboxes.....IF you were to get one of the two....you COULD have something there.

I AM!

I never buy much baseball merchandise anyway.
 
I always told my wife that if I go before her, to sprinkle my ashes throughout Jacob's Field, Browns Stadium and Quicken Loans Arena. ;) :D

This reminds me of an old joke about a old Jewish woman who is atlking to her husband's ashes and a punch line that is too "off color" to be told here. :eek::eek::p
 
A-Rod will be interviewed by Peter Gammons tonight on ESPN. It's being taped right now, and it's already been leaked A-Rod has admitting to taking steroids at that time. It really was his only option.

The guys who don't admit to it (Clemens, Bonds, McGuire, Palmeiro) become pariahs. The guys who do admit to it (Pettitte, Giambi, etc.) get past it eventually.
