You know who else broke the rules? Melky Cabrera. Ryan Braun. Nelson Cruz. Jhonny Peralta. How are all those guys doing now? Oh right, they're making millions and were all welcomed back to their teams or to new teams with open arms. Melky lied to try to get out of punishment. Braun threw a low-level employee under the…

I don't understand how this is even a question. I'm curious to see what all the anti-ARod Yankee fans do this season when he comes up with the bases loaded and two outs down a couple of runs, root for the team to fail? With the exception of people who do actual bad things (rape, domestic violence, etc), you root for…

As a Yankee's fan, I agree

Criminy, Tom, you are terrible at keeping secrets.

He was 100% screwed by them. He never failed a drug test. His suspension went above the CBA approved punishments. The MLBPA did not fight for him. He was specifically targeted by his team and the MLB offices, colluding to try and get out of paying him.

As either Calcaterra or KLaw mentioned the other day (I can't for the life of me remember which one), in what other walk of life would the public support a multi-billion dollar corporation getting in bed with a criminal drug dealer so that they can nail a petty drug user?

I have never understood what about him is so decisive. I imagine that the same people who hate A-Rod hate Richard Sherman and hate the fact that Marshawn Lynch doesn't speak to the media. You know, idiots.

I'm another lifelong Yankees fan. I want to see him hit 40 home runs and drive in over 100. And I want to see him hit for the cycle in Fenway Park and hit a walk off grand slam against the Red Sox at the Stadium.

For him. Lifelong Yankee fan here.

I'm rooting for him to do well, because the Yankees need him, but possibly even more than that, it'll make certain people both in the front office and in the media very, very angry.

Look, it's going to be a weird year. Baseball fans will be split between rooting for Rodriguez to fail, because they hate him, and rooting for him to succeed, because it'll drive the Yankees crazy.

"I can't think of another instance in a basketball game that anyone would ever want to decline a foul call."

Every intentional foul ever on a Shaq/DeAndre-type 50% FT shooter? I mean, the other team is intentionally fouling because they think it's beneficial to them to have every possession end that way. Or any of the…

It's one of basketball's many follies that unlike football, you can't waiver off a foul that would negatively impact you. Oh I won but you're going to disallow it even though I don't give a fuck about the foul. That seems reasonable.

Anyone who has been to a NICU, especially if one of their child is there, knows this. Fuck the Clots, seriously.

What Sammy said. My kid was 26 weeks, 1 pound 4 ounces, and 106 days in the NICU. Do not mess with a NICU parent. Period.

I went through the exact same situation (28 weeks, 1 lb 5 oz at birth, 87 days in hospital) when my son was born a little over two years ago. Glad to hear you got out. I'm guessing it felt like you never would. Hope everything is going ok with your son/daughter now.

(Warning: about to turn into a Francis who desperately needs to lighten up.)

THON is a charity fundraising event promoted by Penn State throughout the northeast, that although marketed as "helping kids fight cancer", funnels 100% of solicited funds to a entity called Four Diamonds Fund that solely benefits Penn State's own medical center serving a limited region in central Pennsylvania.

You should sit back and think about why your statement is so mind-numbingly stupid and retract it - but at this point Kinja might not let you.
