A-Rod Out
Suspended for 211 games beginning Thursday. He will appeal and can play until appeal is heard. 11 others also suspended for 50 games with no appeal pending. The 11 all all latinos; what's up with tha?

Why is his suspension so much worse than the others?
Did he ever fail a test?
I am trying to grasp what it is that he did that is so much worse than the other guys

I'm with you... I don't like ARod but how does Braun get off pretty much scott free and Arod gets 200 plus games?

Baseball is entertainment. Drugs have become part of it.

Oh, I don't know...something known as coincidence? If they were all white, would you be asking that question?

I don't really get why A-Rod got the book thrown at him either...Braun obstructed and lied as much as Alex did...I'm sure they are going to give a justification for the extended vacation compared to others...

I have a feeling that as all this comes out ARod will be guilty of a lot more than just taking PED's.

I don't know if he failed a test but he admitted to steroid use back in 2001-2002.

No, I wouldn't as whites make up approximatelt 63% of major league rosters. For a group (latino) that is 28% of all rosters, I find it unusual that ALL of the suspended players are of that heritage.
Try not seeing a bogeyman where none exists.

This is absolutely true. Baseball is acting like they're the olympics....when in reality, they're closer to the WWF.

I'm not going to get into a war of words here. I find it odd, you don't.

I find it odd, but think it has to do with the location of the clinic. Plus The group also seems to be a group that are connected in the off season.
Several of these guys seem to have been connected with this clinic thru word of mouth in their peer group. That makes it fit in my mind.
I'm sure someday the details will come out. For now they all have the summer and fall off

I don't know, but thank God they all weren't black. They're crying enough already from the Zimmerman verdict.
