Make that A-Roid.

And in case you’ve been living under a rock, we already had the latest bombshell about this entire steroids mess blown even before the 2009-10 MLB baseball season had the chance to kick-off with Alex Rodriguez now being questioned for steroids use back in the 2003 season.

Yes, Alex Rodriguez back in 2003, was fueled by performance-enhancing drugs when he won the AL home run title and Most Valuable Player award while playing for the Texas Rangers.

Good thing MLB baseball had no steroids policies then. You see, it was only in January of 2004 when the league announced a new steroid policy which included random, off season testing and 10-day suspensions for first-time offenders, 30-days for second-time offenders, 60-days for third-time offenders, and one year for fourth-time offenders, all without pay, in an effort to curtail performance-enhancing drug use in professional baseball.

This policy strengthened baseball’s pre-existing ban on controlled substances, including steroids, which was in effect since 1991. The policy was to be reviewed in 2008, but under pressure from…

Yes, in case you haven’t heard about it yet, A-Rod joins the elite few who has anabolic steroids in their system.

New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, arguably baseball’s biggest superstar and the $300 million cornerstone of the Yankee franchise, tested positive for anabolic steroids in 2003. Rodriguez’ name appeared on a list of 104 players who tested positive for steroids during MLB’s survey six years ago.

THAT survey was suppose to be hush-hush, for the players to know and for us to be left in the dark with, but since some weasel ratted the New York Yankees star, now named A-Roid, out, it’s all out in the open and Rodriguez doesn’t have any choice but to take it in the ass.

One of baseball’s most productive players and the recipient of its two most lucrative contracts, the 33-year-old Rodriguez joins Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire and other superstars whose achievements are now thrown into question because of performance-enhancing drugs.

A-Rod was the American League MVP that season with the Texas Rangers and winner of the home run title.

Several of baseball’s biggest stars have come under scrutiny since baseball’s steroid problem went public, shattering legacies and leading to criminal…

Ah, A-Rod, once Madonna’s boy toy and the very player the Yankees rely on these days, probably got away with steroids use six years ago.

You just know that people are already anticipating for the coming 2009 MLB baseball season when they start talking about baseball as early as the conclusion of the football season.

And since talking about baseball is as synonymous as talking about anabolic steroids, it was no surprise that the early topics that come out every time baseball fans start talking about their favorite sport pertains to another dude who injected the prohibited drug on his ass.

This time, we have Alex Rodriguez, the New York Yankees third baseman, a guy who once paraded around with Madonna and probably the only one who has a physique that yells ‘’steroids use.”

Other than Barry Bonds of course.

Sources claim that Alex Rodriguez may have gotten away with the use of anabolic steroids. The New York Yankees star was tested positive for testosterone and Primobolan, an anabolic steroid, during the 2003 season when he won the AL home run title and the MVP award.

He was playing for the Texas Rangers then.

Fortunately for Alex Rodriguez, there were no penalties for a positive result then. When A-Rod was asked for comment about…

You can’t possibly put it simpler than that.

As the 2008 MLB baseball season enters the halfway point, teams are clamoring for any last possible move that may probably improve their roster a little bit more before Thursday’s trading deadline gets here.

And as far as the New York Yankees are concerned, they already have their eyes set on one guy that may fill the void injured sluggers Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada left.

Who is it? Since they’re missing two of the best hitters in their team, the Yankees are planning to sign probably the best hitter in the game. I’m referring to the indicted home run king, Barry Bonds people and whether you like him or not, the combination of Bonds and the Yankees have ”World Series contenders” written all over it.

Sure, Bonds at 44 years of age can’t possibly have that big of an impact to an already established team like the Yankees. After all, it is already too late into the season to sign the former San Francisco Giants slugger anyway. But hey, Thursday’s deadline is still a few days away and ANYTHING is still possible.

Bonds in pinstripes could also mean more…

Remember Barry Bonds? Yes, he’s last season’s home run king. And yep, he is also the guy who just loves them steroids.

We are at the halfway point of the 2008 MLB baseball season and we haven’t heard of any news whatsoever in regards to Barry Bonds other than his addiction to steroids.

Until now. Bonds’ agent, Jeff Borris said Barry Bonds won’t play in the MLB this season and has given up all hope of finding his client a job. He he… Borris said he is frustrated by baseball’s lack of interest in his client after the season Bonds just had the year before.

After the San Francisco Giants let Bonds go, the slugger instantly vanished from the league. Other than the media exposure Bonds got in regards to his steroids scandal, it seems Bonds and baseball have gone separate ways and his agent doesn’t like it one bit.

”I offered Barry at the minimum salary, and when I ran into a brick wall, that’s when I came to the conclusion that he will not be in a major league uniform in 2008,” Jeff Borris said.

”I’m not a negative person. I’m one of those ‘never say never’ guys. But it seems pretty clear to me that it’s just not happening. We could go up and down the rosters of every single team and I could show you an awful lot of spots where he ought to be plugged in right now, but it’s just not…”

For now, all I can remember of the guy is the year when he made 70 home runs.

Other than that, every single time somebody talks about the guy this 2008 MLB baseball season, his steroid problems seem to become the topic of discussion. Yep, just like Clemens, Canseco and the poster boy for steroids, Barry Bonds.

Now, it looks like Mark McGwire wants to give people something else to talk about every time his name is mentioned. Rumor has it that the former St. Louis Cardinals powerhouse wants to make a comeback. You read it, McGwire wants to have baseball in his life again.

Mark McGwire is considered as one of the most famous men in baseball history. However, he hasn’t made a public appearance at a major league ballpark in three years, has declined interview requests and passed on annual invitations to visit his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals, in spring training.

Mark McGwire, who made a record in Major League Baseball 10 years ago when he hit the single-season record of 70 home runs, had his last moment in the spotlight back in 2005 because of issues with regards to steroids use and other performance enhancing substance.

McGwire declined to admit that he is slowly returning to baseball. But…

Because with the NBA Finals almost over and with football still a few months away, we won’t have much of a choice but to watch baseball.

He he… Yes, with virtually nothing on TV after the NBA Finals conclude, ya’ll probably won’t have much of a choice but to start watching the ever so exciting, (we use the term ‘exciting’ ever so slightly here…) 2008 MLB baseball season.

On that note, let’s take a quick look on what’s been going on around the diamond lately shall we? Hopefully, we’ll find something else to write about other than Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and a whole lot of steroids syringes.

And of course, like last season, everybody’s still so fixated on the American League compared to the National League. While NBA fans favor the Western conference more than the East, baseball has this one.

Defending champions Boston Red Sox lead the pack from the American League East while the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Angels lead the Central and West divisions respectively.

Boston Red Sox are still coming out strong after winning the MLB World Series last season. They have a 43-28 win-loss record, with a decent 7-3 showing in their last 10 games.

In the Central division, the Chicago White Sox, with a 38-30 win-loss mark…

And the Yankee fans will probably breathe easier by then.

Apparently, the New York Yankees and Alex Rodriguez have already agreed to the outline of a record $275 million, 10-year contract that would let A-Rod earn millions more if he can set the career home run record and erase Barry Bonds’ steroid-powered ass from the MLB record books.

The source revealed the amount of guaranteed money on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal hasn’t been finalized yet. Alex Rodriguez and his wife met with Hal and Hank Steinbrenner Wednesday in Tampa, Fla.

”The meeting was a final get-together,” New York Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner said. ”He wanted to make sure myself and my brother knew that he was sincere and serious.”

”The Yankees have never had a player since Babe Ruth that really had a 100 percent chance of setting the record,” Steinbrenner added. ”[Mickey] Mantle should have, but he had too many injuries. It’s a historical achievement bonus more than it is an incentive bonus. There is no yearly incentive bonus.”

This provision must be drafted by the New York Yankees very very carefully because of…

Egad. What in the world is happening to our suppose to be ”world class sports athletes.”

I’m sure you’ve already heard about all that stuff about Michael Vick heading to the 2007-08 NFL football season. I know damn well too that you’re well aware that the NBA has its fair share of jailbirds playing around their basketball courts.

So what’s the latest? Barry Bonds. Yep, the same man who became the MLB all-time leader in home runs, is indicted on perjury and obstruction charges. I guess all that talk about Bonds’ records having asterisks in them could be put to rest now because the guy’s probably not going anywhere but in prison.

The indictment culminates a four-year investigation into steroid use and charged the former San Francisco Giants superstar with four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. He’s facing a maximum of 30 looong years in prison if convicted.

”During the criminal investigation, evidence was obtained including positive tests for the presence of anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing substances for Bonds and other athletes,” the indictment said.

Barry Bonds finished the past MLB baseball season with 762 home runs, that’s…

Well, without the horseshit coming from them horses of course. That would be too obvious to write about.

As the clock ticks for yet another Breeders’ Cup betting war, we are somewhat in the middle of all these controversies surrounding the world of sports lately.

Confused? Let me remind you. New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick used a spying cameraman to read the New York Jets’ defensive hand signals to start the NFL season after Barry Bonds became the all-time home run leader with performance enhancing drugs.

Oh yeah, it didn’t end there. A few months earlier, NBA referee Tim Donaghy was found guilty of betting on the NBA games he worked, therefore giving him the privilege to let a team cover any spread depending on where his money was riding with. Sounds like the perfect handicapper eh?

And don’t get me started with the Tour de France and all its doping scandals.

As the 2007 Breeders’ Cup Classic draws near, we’re may be looking at a sporting event even dirtier than Barry Bonds, Belichick and all them cheating sonsabitches combined. Why? How? Read on.

Trainers of the three biggest stables in horse racing, that’s Todd Pletcher, Steve Asmussen and…
