Did A-Rod Throw His Own Teammate Under The Biogenesis Bus?

A report by "60 Minutes" on the Biogenesis scandal says that A-Rod 's camp leaked the names of Ryan Braun and Francisco Cervelli, who just happens to be Alex's teammate.  A-Rod says its not true.  At this point, I wouldn't believe Alex Rodriguez if he told me that 2 + 2 = 4.  Would you?

Let Pete Rose in The MLB Hall of Fame Already!!

Pete Rose said that he should have taken up drinking, or drugs, or wife beating because if he had, he'd still be eligible for the MLB Hall of Fame.  Crass?  A bit . . . But about as true and real as it gets.  In my opinion, using PEDs like steroids and HGH is worse than gambling.  PEDs get you a 50 game suspension (longer in A-Rod's case), but Rose was banned for LIFE.  He is the all time hits leader and deserves to be in Cooperstown.  Tell us what you think . . .

Mike Trout Says PED Users Should Get Lifetime Ban from MLB

During a radio interview for New York's WFAN, all-natural Angels slugger Mike Trout said that players caught using PEDs should be banned for life.  Do you agree with him?  And A-Rod, all-natural means that he doesn't inject himself with stuff.

Will A-Rod's 211 Game Suspension Hurt His Chances For The Hall of Fame?

A-Rod was suspended for 211 games.  Mmm hmm.  Will this suspension hurt his chances of making it into Cooperstown?  Even in the steroid era, I say it does hurt his chances . . . and I believe in the asterisk.  Go to www.sportslam.net and tell me what you think if you're not already there.

A-Rod Wants To Be A Role Model

Alex Rodriguez said that he wants to be a role model . . . "No thanks," commented America.  We'd rather look up to someone who doesn't cheat and can at least tell if they have an injured leg or not (looks fine here).  Instead of offering to BE a role model, Alex, I recommend that you GET a role model.  And his name is Derek Jeter.  Dude homered on the first pitch he saw after coming off the DL.  And he's not a tool.  And he probably doesn't own boat shoes.  Or pop his collar.

Brewers Owner Offers Vouchers To Loyal Fans

Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio is offering Brewer fans a $10 voucher for tix, food, and beverages if they come to an August home game.  The reasoning behind the generous gesture is to try and "mitigate a trying summer."  In light of Ryan Braun's recent actions, I say he should go halfsies with Attanasio.  After all, he still has plenty of money that was earned before he got caught cheating, right?  Braun?  Braun? . . . Anyone?

Rodgers Crappy Twitter Bet

Think you know your friends?  Yeah, well Aaron Rodgers thought he knew Ryan Braun enough to "bet" his $39.5 million salary on Braun's innocence regarding using PEDs . . . He was wrong.  These days we have too many people in all sports that turn to bottled performance.  Sad and sucky.  Who is/was your favorite athlete who broke your heart by cheating?  Story here.
