It made me kind of sad reading that you were kind of sad. What's wrong did you put in your tampon crooked? Get over it yes when millions of dollars are on the line people will cheat.

Just the idea that a game I love is so out of control, that the very best players in the game are cheaters, that it's starting to remind me of the WWE, or WWF, or one of those.

And I fully understand that when millions of dollars are at stake, people will cheat, but one would hope that it's not the people already at the very top.

Never though I would ever hear you say that wow you are pissed off.

[Gator]

More disappointed than pissed.

I really hope that the newest crop of players can turn things around. This group of stars that have come in the past, say 3 years, have all been brought up under the steroid stygma and ban, and I think that will really make a difference.

It is a bummer. I thought A-rod was above it all. Time to buy stock in Ryan Howard... but he's certainly not as good a hitter. He seems too doughy to be on the juice.

How Selig Could Save the Game

[Prog]

Embattled Yankee star Alex Rodriguez has purportedly had a long relationship with Angel Presinal, a steroid-linked clubhouse trainer banned from the private areas of MLB ballparks nationwide, the Daily News reported.

Rodriguez and Presinal have reportedly been close dating back to the Yankee player's time with the Texas Rangers, according to the Daily News.

The relationship between the two men continued throughout Rodriguez's career with the Yankees with Presinal reportedly accompanying Rodriguez throughout the entire 2007 season despite warnings from the MLB advising players to stay away from the trainer, according to the Daily News.

On the road Presinal apparently stayed in the same hotel as Rodriguez but in a separate room with the "cousin," Yuri Sucart, he named a few days ago as his steroid source from 2001-03, according to the Daily News.

A former New York-area scout says Presinal, whose named surfaced in the Mitchell Report, was also with Rodriguez in New York and Miami as recently as this past fall, the Daily News reported.

"He's an unsavory character," said a source.
