What a happy day. A-rod's confession (shame on him), assures
that if he overtakes Bonds, it won't be legitimate -- and Barry will retain his HR record.

It's a very good day.

Now let's see if he's treated like Bonds was on the road ... or are the hypocrites going to whine, "Oh at least 'lil Alex told the truth that he used HGH..." :eyes:

Barry was treated like a rapist and a serial killer even though he says he's innocent.

Alex says he violated MLB rules. A New York Yankee.

Not my San Francisco Giant.

Now that this is behind us, time to pick up Manny Ramirez.

1. "Legitimate" will never exist again.
And hasn't existed in a while. It's been questionable for a long time. Any superstar will be peered at through testosterone eyes.

I still find it odd, as I've espoused here that "performance enhancement" has such a divide. It seems that it's only cheating if it's illegal. Funny that.

Oh, and this BoSox fan wishes you the best with Manny.

3. They won't get Manny and maybe it'll be for the best.
I'd rather keep hating him deep down inside.

5. A good day indeed
bonds and a-rod gone. Schmidt's creaping up in the standings and he hasn't played in 21 years.

OJ Simpson was treated as a murderer "even though he says he's innocent."

alex confessed, a spiritually weak bonds clings to his lies. If only barry were a man like alex, instead of some hopped up freak to weak to tell the truth.

Pick up Manny Ramirez and do what?

6. Watch all the hypocrites cboy
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 10:36 AM by Upton
they will now use A-Fraud's ridiculous confession as an excuse to ignore him and continue about the process of lynching Bonds...

I agree with you on Manny, not only would it help the Giants but keeping him away from the Dodgers means it would pay dual dividends.

8. Nope both bad
But I give Arod SOME credit for confessing when confronted. Lame ass Barry and his flaxseed oil excuse can go jump off a cliff.

10. In respect to Bonds yeah
On my scale of scumbag atheletes ARod is slightly less scummy than Bonds.

11. Another excellent post from Upton!
I just don't want LA to sign Manny more than anything.

But we do need some offense to supplement the best pitching staff in baseball.

What a great Post headline, OMFG!

Poor Sterod. HA

18. Whatever happened to Baby Jane??
Joan Crawford and Betty Davis, Cboy and Upton 60 years from now; they'll probably be sick of each other by then.

16. I don't think so
one picture hardly proves anything. After A-Fraud has undergone what Bonds has had to suffer through, then you'll have a point.....However, it's doubtful that's ever going to happen, already the media, due to Rodriquez's ridiculous self serving confession, is making noises about forgiveness.

21. And you honestly believe this is the only picture mean to A-Rod?
Seriously? One can tell you live on the West Coast.



















And the fans treat him like a star wherever he goes!









Your continued insistence that Baroid is the only one being treated so harshly is laughable to anyone paying attention. Even cboy has said he was surprised by how Boston fans treated Barry at the All-Star game. They weren't fawning, but compared to A-Rod's treatment in Boston and elsewhere they were kittens.

After A-Fraud has undergone what Bonds has had to suffer through

Does he pay you guys to mount the cross for him everyday?

23. He's suffering all the way to the bank
That giant diamond nugget in his earlobe must be excrutiatingly painful for the poor guy! Oh, the humanity. "Leave Barry alone!" <<the next Chris Crocker YouTube vid?

7. No it won't be either Bonds or A-Rod that holds the record
Its always gonna be Hank Aaron. There is quite a movement afoot to wipe out the steroid records. I think thats the way to go.

Steroid records and real records. Then they can stay in.
