If A-Rod is smart he’d use ear plugs when he leaves the dugout for the on deck circle and pay strict attention to the signals of the base coaches, Rob Thomson and Mick Kelliher.
While at 3rd base, get signals for his positioning from the dugout and the infielders.
Be oblivious to crowd chants.

A pair of shoes has been seen sticking out from a rock. The shoes belong to the pinata hiding under the rock . . . Bud Selig.

Hey all you morally superior fans: Since A-rod isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, If you are deeply offended by him, you should find another team to follow. Maybe another sport, like football, or basketball, or maybe even hockey. Yeah, those sports teams are stocked with choirboys, no? How ’bout racing! No cheatin’ goin’ on there! lol…

Looking forward to A-rod holding down 3rd, hitting 40, knocking in 130, and ignoring the press!!! GO YANKEES!!!

You probably would remember the specific Yankee Fan, but doesn’t mean everyone would. It reminds me of the people (who aren’t pro athletes) say they would pay for free (when they hate hearing athletes complain about their money).

I, for one, don’t need to know the specific name because I know nothing about it and it would mean nothing to me. I’m sure he’ll be asked more questions.

kaat is right about pitchers like whitey cutting balls. i once warmed up a pitcher and his fastball was moving well. he showed me why , he had a tack sticking right through the pocket of his glove.

i also watched our pitching coach who later was a mlb pitching coach show a pitcher how to throw a good spitball.

al oliver was watching, and he said he was glad he didn’t know pitchers did that when he played because it would have been too much to think about. it was funny at the time.

For anyone still asking about andruw jones, he chose texas because the homeruns fly out of there. a little harder for a right handed hitter to hit it out of yankee stadium.

If I was being injected with something for three years, I would probably remember the name of it. Besides, testosterone is not hard to remember.

I feel like he is giving out just enough information to dodge the “he’s denying it” claim. He seems like he is holding back on a few thigns.

To people upset with him not coming out until he is caught – has any active player ever had a revelation one day and admitted use before being linked? It is unfortunate, but I think the best we can hope for from anyone is at least not to deny once you are caught.

“mlb network is excellent at times when real baseball people like kaat are talking to other real baseball people.”

Randy, that’s why I tend to love league networks. Its just straight up game talk.

You know no one on NFL Network, while they may report it, will be dogging Jamal Anderson. They’ll report and move on. No psycho-babble.

I believe at some point he was told what he was taking but it probably went in one ear and out the other, or surely he probably forgot after 6 years. I mean its not like the names are as easy as Advil or Bayer. Heck, sometimes I forget the name of Benadryl.
