KevinG Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm sorry. 25 is not young. If I would have had to take a drug test at age 25 you would have found stems and roaches floating in my pee. This is not a defense of A-Rod, just saying 25 is pretty young, and may shed a little light on this. Damnit, I broke my own steroid ban Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The difference is I wasn't making millions at 25. Why risk it? Link to post Share on other sites

If you are man enough to sign a 10yr contract to make $250M, and you are man enough to mold your image, and present yourself as a businessman, you are man enough to know what you are doing. Give me a break with this "I was young" crap. 25 is not 18. Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I thought all he did was Tic-Tacs. Griffey will platoon in left with Diaz. They have a young center fielder that's out of options and can also steal bases. But Griffey/Diaz should be good. Diaz is really good against lefties and Griffey is still good against righties. Plus Griffey was basically playing injured last year and has since had surgery so who knows. He hit 30 HR's in 2007. I'd be happy with similar production. That's more than the entire Braves outfield hit last year. Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Be better at what you do? Fine. No argument. Then say that. Dont get up there and ask us to believe that you really had no idea what you were doing. That you injected something into your ass over 100 times that you had to get from the DR because it's illegal in the US and you had no idea if it worked or not. Why come clean if you aren't going to come clean? EDIT: these are all rhetorical questions -- ARod doesnt have to answer to me. But if he thinks I believe him, he's wrong.

bjorn_skurj Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think Alex was driven by insecurity, and a fear of falling behind other players. Oh, and the millions. I am not really sure what I would do if someone were to present me with a drug which would increase my earning potential as a reporter by three times or more. Probably take it and hope the side-effects were not as bad as advertised. Link to post Share on other sites
