A-Rod Tests Positive.

So I just a text alert from ESPN saying that A-Rod has tested positive for steroids. When I read the article, it stated that A-Rod tested positive in 2003. He won the AL home run crown and AL MVP award that year. He was with Texas that year.

Before I go into anything else, I just want to point out that I called it. Before last season, I said to a friend "I bet A-Rod juices". He came back (being a Yankees fan-die hard at that) saying "Giambi's the only Yankee, past or present, to juice. Guaranteed."

Yes, I know he was with the Rangers when he tested positive, but I love picking on NYY.

Rodriguez denied ever using performance enhancers in an interview a year or so ago. He said he "never felt overmatched on the baseball field". Conveniently, Scott Boras, A-Rod's agent, couldn't be reached. Both the Yankees and Rangers said they would not comment.

This makes me wonder how many of those players that said they "never juiced" actually were telling the truth. Come on boys, the feds are into the investigation. Did you really think you'd get away with a lie, even if it was X-number of years old?

Baseball players, trainers, families, and organizations need to start coming clean. In this time when our economy brings us down, we need something to keep our spirits running high, or higher than normal. Baseball and its current state are not doing a very good job so far. This isn't something to be proud of.

Here's a link to the article on ESPN.com, complete with video clip:
