Interesting article on A-Rod trial

[vic city]

Hi, 1st post on this message board but I'm a regular on the official website.

 

I thought I'd post this here since it seems a lot more active.

We all know he's guilty but I have no ill will towards A-Rod. I think this whole trial is an interesting debate actually. I bet something like 30% of players were on juice back then...maybe even more? Bud Selig turned a blind eye to it for years and now he's trying to make A-Rod the villian, while he rides off into the sunset that retirement is. However, Bud Selig is no hero! Well, maybe to the owners he is.

 

So news is that Selig refused to testify as to what his logic was behind the 211 game suspension (odd number). Then A-Rod slammed the desk, yelled some curses and stormed out LOL.

 

I'm curious what everyone else thinks of this? I doubt A-Rods ability to have a fair trial at this point...is the MLB process unfair?

 

And on a side note, A-Rod would have to forfeit his salary so of course he's fighting this! Plus he probably doesn't want to get shunned like Barry Bonds. I'd probably fight it to the death too. Imagine how many players in the history of MLB that used steroids and never got caught. Some of those players are the heroes of baseball history.

 

I say let him play...stick it to the Yankees and what ever idiot signed that atrocious contract

 

 

PS: Just curious why most people choose this message board over the official site? I didn't know about this forum until about week ago.

Welcome bro.

The official forum was grossly outdated and poorly moderated, so we had a revolution. This place is much better, abandon your old forum account immediately.

 

As per the ARod topic, I think you're basically spot on. It's a witch hunt and he's Melissa Joan Hart. MLB/Selig are making the rules up as they go.

[GD]

The old forum was polluted with doggs and unstable mental health.

[TRM]

I was always fond of the old forum. Only came here because you were able to give people thumbs up!

[The_DH]

I love this attack on Arod as well. I'm pretty sure the Yankees are involved as a way of getting salary relief.

[jays_fever]

Everyone pretty much hates A rod and wants him to come out on top by a landslide..tells you everything you need to know about Selig.

[vic city]

I mean...he's pretty funny. If he was a Jay I would hate him but the fact that he's a Yankee and tried to pick up a girl during a game is pretty awesome!

I'm not even sure he's guilty at this point.

 

P.S. I'm wondering if you're the guy I referred here, my handle on that hellhole is HASHTAGLOVETHISTEAM.

[vic city]

Someone indirectly referred me. I heard about this site through the TO/STL trade proposal on the Jays official site. Someone suggested that they re-post it on this board, so I checked it out myself. My handle is vic city on both sites.

 

I always wondered why the Jays board was so dead. I'm a big Canucks fan and the canucks.com board is pretty bumpin 365 days a year.

[vic city]

Nobody takes what MohYou says with a grain of salt. He's a troll, just ignore him.

 

Welcome to the board bro, there's a quote button right next to "Reply" so that you can quote who you are replying to and not have to copy and paste it!

 

Cheers!

[vic city]

Just curious...was it people from other MLB team forums that trolled/ruined the board on the official Jays site or just *******/incompetent Jays fans?

It was really active up until around April or May of this year. Then anyone who wasn't a complete tool was welcomed here and most came. Now, it's just DJBluRay and Sempai buttslapping each other.

 

And secondly, those idiots and other like minded folk are why a new board was necessary. Last straw for me was when the mod banned Spanky again, erasing his post explaining the origins of "bike" used in an insulting manner.

[Boxcar]

This happened? What??? Hahahahahahaha

 

It was in my top 3 for most laughter at something posted on an internet message board. Was glorious.

 

Think this was the thread: http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=21&nav=messages&webtag=ml-bluejays&tid=89420

 

Sorry, page 3.

Was both. Go on any forum, some guy from another team comes around and trolls here and there.

And there were a good 3-5 posters that all they did was troll the forum.

Add in the fact Jays were favorites to win the WS, and there's a wave of new posters.

 

When those members troll, and there is no moderator to delete it, they go full throttle.

Welcome

[Boxcar]

Seems like all the posts are deleted. You got a screenshot?

 

Yeah they were deleted because Spank got banned while DJRetard was allowed to post freely. Knowing Spanky, though, taking a screenshot would've been prudent. I just posted the thread for sentimental reasons.

Haha....."she's a bike mate, she'll ride you all night"

 

Lmfao, my favourite part is how it makes no sense. Bikes ride people in Britain?

You know that poster DickeyWangJohnson/MagicPuppy/Dogg, etc, etc, etc, this MohYou toerag is the same person. He's been pulling these shenanigans/trolling since around 05/06 the troglodyte should be institutionalized.

 

DickeyWangJohnson is reason enough to change boards...

[Jays]

He has posted under countless different names at the same time. Has been banned on that board countless times. I don't think I need to tell you what kind of poster he is, you seem to know. I could tell you some horror stories I observed on that board but I'm trying to forget.

I hate A-rod as a player, but I so hope his suspension gets thrown out. Mainly because I hate the Yankees and Selig more. But also because I think it's unfair on what they're trying to do here.

 

Somebody should keep a thread about this forum at the old message board over there.

 

This was suggested by somebody else a few days ago, but it's a good idea. Bump it every few days or something.
