I used to like Pay Rod even have his autograph from when he was a rookie at the mariners and than he sold out! When he left Seattle I washed my hands of him! lol
This doesn't suprise me, I noticed he bulked up while he was at the Rangers!

 

[Andrew2382]

lol, this guy is such a mess.

Safe to say he will hit a whopping 210 this year...fucking head case this jerkoff is.

A-Fraud gets busted once again.

So Andrew, I suppose this taints any championship that the Yankees may win if he is a vital part of the team.

LMAO

Football is the biggest joke there is...Carolina Panther lineman was juiced up the day of the fucking superbowl a few years back.

If the NFL had MLB testing standards everyone would be suspended

 

[JimH52]

Everyone knows basball has been turning their back on stuff like this for years. They can't even agree on a salary cap. They let teams like the Yankees go out and spend millions to buy a series. Baseball has not been the national sport for years. A joke...

 

[JimH52]

Barry Bonds, and his big head, would be playing on a team now if someone would sign him. The pills have been popping for years in the dugouts.

you're a retard.

Baseball has been turning their back on it, but now they are doing something...football is the biggest joke there is next to the nba when it comes to drug testing...nba for pot. Everyone in the NFL juices and everyone knows it...like I said...Panther lineman juiced up on HGH for the SUPERBOWL!

And they don't agree on a salary cap because the majority of the league doesn't want a salary cap...MLB union is one of the strongest unions in the country.

And the same retarded respnse...let the yankees spend millions to buy a series and they haven;t won shit since 01...its been all teams with low to mid market salary caps with the exception of the sox.

Please get a clue...remember something about your precious game of football

in a 60 min game the ball is in motion for an average of 6-9 minutes..WOW FUCKING EXCITING!

Also, be 400 pounds and be able to run 30 yards without dying? Grats you're a lineman

That was in 2003 when he was on the RANGERS

Roids don't suddenly stop taking effect if you continue to work out after using them.

Though it's no surprise that another Yankee is caught using roids, half the 2000 championship team was on them if not more.

Sure, the Mitchell Report named 9 alone:

Jose Canseco, Roger Clemens, Jason Grimsley, Glenallen Hill, Dave Justice, Chuck Knoblauch, Denny Neagle, Andy Pettitte, Mike Stanton.

This is what they got out of said players:

Clemens 8.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 K
Pettitte 13.2 IP, 16 H, 3 ER, 4 BB, 9 K
Stanton 4.1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K

Yankees Steroid Users in 2000 World Series:
30.2 IP, 5 ER, 1.46 ERA

Non-Steroid Users:
16.1 IP, 9 ER, 4.95 ERA

Who cares?
