Hello BOYZ,
You're dreaming! The greatest fake in modern baseball history was using roids in 2009 as he always had up to that time according to real evidence, not the least of which is his own admission. Since then the real Arod has shown who he is, a fading roid-ravaged player, who i distracted by women and the high life rather than staying focused during games. If he had real dedication to athletic excellence and the sport he could sustain a moderately effective level of performance with periods of high achievement. But with his injuries, attitude and age I believe the best that can be expected is a streaky average player; unless he's found some...boosting CHEMISTRY...again.
The official attendance shows numbers consistently the size of the capacity at Fenway, anywhere between 10,000-15,000 less than stadium capacity. Considering the Yankees achievements to this point, hanging in closely despite so many injuries and that there are 8.3 million people in New York City alone, one has to wonder what it takes to get people to go to a game. Less than half capacity at 20,000 is a disgrace.
They are one of the tough teams to play this year. The Red Sox lineup has done well overall along with the pitching. But I have significantly more faith in Boston pitching than hitting despite their achievement thus far. I'm not sure if we just faced very good Texas pitching or a hitting inadequacy got exposed, maybe both. But as I have said, there is plenty of room for improvement.

No response since I installed the correct video. Concession by silence.
It's no fun to accuse anyone of cheating. Cheating episodes damage the game we (baseball fans) all loved as kids and follow with anticipation every year since. The video shows Rivera spitting on the ball. The image is pretty conclusive on the surface, and it's not doctored. The only qualifier is that if you believe Rivera is an honorable man, and I do, having done a lot of photography myself I could suggest logically no one would cheat in front of 50,000 witnesses, and he may have just spit to the ground during a coincidentally implicating camera angle. But mean children like .T don't make such allowances, so by his own standards Rivera is GUILTY!!!
Whether or not anyone labels Rivera a cheater, one who habitually cheats in some way, is a matter of what one believes. He possibly did it once, but I still won't call him a cheater. I and the MLB respect him enough to say he still has general integrity, though in the case of the MLB I'm sure protecting one of the sports icons for profits was a key part of pulling every video they could control. Unfortunately for them there are many ways to record what happened they don't control.
I consider Rivera legitimately one of the best there ever was despite one incident, and no respectable real fan would say otherwise. The problem is some pissy mean-spirited little children who care nothing about integrity and have none in themselves make fake standards where an accusation without proof destroys every ounce of a players reputation. By Joe.ts standards Rivera show be thrown out of the game in disgrace right now because immaturity lets him attack every appearance and conjecture like a child mindlessly willing to ruin anyone not wearing pinstripes.
Sure we push each other around on many things about our teams, but I don't cross the line to destroy real reputations. Saying you have suspicions is one thing, branding someone with slander is another. If Buchholz is doing anything it remains to be proven, possibly on a solid level like the Rivera video, not on the word of some biased has been. Reputations should not be toys for extremely biased rotten kids who ignore or don't know and don't care what FACTS are. One day maybe the children here will grow up and realize that.
Cheers,

I think that a freshly tuned up hip will allow ARod to mash like he did when he returned in 2009.

I agree completely, because, after all, he hasn't aged any since 2009.
Took a little trip to NYC this weekend and happened to take in a game at The House That Ruth Didn't Build. Must say, I haven't been to that desolate a ballpark since the Expos left town. I wonder why people don't want to go to Yankee games. Maybe 20,000 in the house.

I don't think visiting teams from anywhere will be winning many games in Arlington this year.
