A-Rod steroid reaction from Mike Francesa

[MrCupcakes76]

Once again mike siding with the Yankee fans

[msk7046]

do they have to use those airplane-like headphones at WFAN?? Back when 660 was WNNNNNBC, many dj's were wearing them, too.

[thcdreams654]

Mike is entertaining. Go sox though.

[Kush779]

back afta dis

[BrianG311]

A ROD is a cheater. They can't win anything again!!! GO SOX!!!!!

[BigCaddyJC]

WHEN JUST ABOUT EVERY BALL PLAYER WAS USING THESE "PED'S" I'M NOT AT ALL SURPRISED THAT A-ROD WAS DIRTY....I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHEN HE STARTED USING THESE THINGS... BY 2003 HE WAS STUPID TO STILL BE INTO THESE DRUGS....BUT IT HAVE TOO THINK THAT HE WAS INTO THESE DRUGS VERY...VERY EARLY IN HIS CAREER....THAT WOULD HURT HIM!!

[mattjp2287]

yankees are about winning. i dont like the guy either but dont be retarded and think you'd rather have scott brosius at third. go for the best players to win a championship, thats it. its really hard to hear people complain about arod when hes an all time great with or without steriods.

[Chris24234]

if u wanna see mike francesa toot on the air watch my new vid please, u will def laugh

[jloch85]

roids or no roids arod is still one of the best players the game has ever seen. haters.

[mysteryskateteam]

@jloch85 but he cheated to be a great player

[patriotsdynasty12189]

@mysteryskateteam his best years where in Seattle

[mysteryskateteam]

@patriotsdynasty12189 and texas

[patriotsdynasty12189]

@mysteryskateteam true, but you can also say 2007 was his best season, but Im talking like in 96 when he hit 46 hrs and stole 46 bases, that combo is unreal. Thats when he was at his best IMO

[wazo89]

most sport is tainted now by drugs and steroids. I dont watch baseball and american football for this reason, two sports ruined in the last 't 30 years by roids.drunk fans dont care they are watching roided up freaks smashing baseballs or each other. I dont think people who run sports care either its all about money.

[HaLoDrUmMeR6617]

lmfaoo pujols juicing??...get a life bro

[HaLoDrUmMeR6617]

what yankees fan hates arod?? dude where have u been lmao yankee fans love arod, maybe not you but gimme a break ive loved arod since he came here. the steroids hurt a little but they were completely at the time. enough said. dude. yankee fans love arod. especially after he raped in the posteason :]

[NJYankee920]

@HaLoDrUmMeR6617 u dont know what ur talking about man im sorry. alot of yankees fans still hate arod, some now all of a sudden liking him because of his performance in the 2009 postseason...

[shcoome]

Manny and Big Papi don't have shots at the HR record. ARod does. That's why people hate him, there's going to be another tainted record holder, and if Pujols breaks it, that'll be three in a row. (You know he's juicing, come on) On top of that, he denied taking steroids before it was leaked. In Arod's defense, Jose Canseco is a piece of shit and needs to get the shit kicked out of him immediately.

[Wehategod]

As an ex Yankee Fan I remeber when Soriano was traded to the rangers for A-Rod and I hated A-Rod and you know what I still don't like him. Bernie Williams and Paul O'neil will always be my Favorite Yankees. Also Shane Spencer.

[GialloHorror]

@Wehategod An "ex" Yankee fan? You'er a fucking bitch. Any TRUE fan sticks with his/her team through thick and thin, good times and bad, and whether you like the players or not, you stcik with your team.

And Paul O'neill is spelled with 2 fucking L's, loser

[sportsvideoproducer]

@GialloHorror word 2 that, fuck bandwagon fans, New York Yankees ALL DAY

[brickscity77]

Aroid was vilafied like crazy. Even when Papi and Ramirez were playing broadway shows around the topic, he took in the chin-like a man.

[devmaggie]

Griffey!

[titan327]

Muscle fibers strenghtened during this period increase your bat speed tremendously (ask Bonds)...and im not sold that this just goes away b/c they stop juicing all of a sudden. Ask any doctor, it's not a drug like pot, these are anabolic steroids we are talking about, they change your physical makeup for life.

[xxpauliegunzxx]

People Reaction To A-Rod on Steroids - Ohhhhh YANKEES SUCK A-Roid! He cant play without roids.

Problem with that statement - Alex is amazing with or without roids, Look at his stats after roids, 30 homers..... not bad

Side Notes: Alex Rodriguez was on roids a good number of years ago, that fact that your still talking about it is childish. Alex Rodriguez was NOT on the Yankees for these few years on roids.

People Reaction to Manny Ramirez & David Ortiz on Roids - ......

QUESTION why the silence?

[titan327]

Hilarious, I love that people think these guys just wither away to mere mortals after using roids and especially hgh. If you are consistent with your weight training you will probably lose about 25% of those gains made with your initial boost after going off it. However, the 75% of gains do not go away!! lol...

[JackBauer270]

I think the problem a lot of people had with this is that A-Rod confession was so vague that it seemed like he was not being 100% honest about everything

[ihatehers]

xxpauliegunzxx.. you are a moron, my friend... you say a rod was "amazing" with or without roids... yet go on to say 30 hrs without roids is "not bad"..

haha how do you know WHEN he stopped? maybe he is just taking something different now that is undetectable.

[lethrneck4]

agreed , they only care if its a yankee usin roids...the 2 main reasons the red sox broke the curse, get a pass..

[tallsmile28]

Arod took the brunt of this while Big Papi and Manny got off light. That's OK because Arod is going to be in the World Series and Manny and Big Papi will be watching on TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bananerx3]

@tallsmile28 you called that perfectly!

[titan327]

can't stand A-rod

1) guy has been juicing/hgh-ing his since high school, don't even think he would be drafted without it

2) he gets a huge contract off of his past in which he admittedly sauced

3) he interrupted Mark Texiera's interview with Craig Sager the other night b/c he's a loser

[nycl3gendkiller]

nah he never took steroids in highschool or his early MLB career, that A-Rod book was all false info if thats were u heard it from

[xxpauliegunzxx]

he still hits 30 homers per season so I wouldnt exactly say that he wouldnt be drafted without it. Hes still a good player with or without steroids, just 9 or so homer runs worse than with roids.

[Shredboy1]

Cal Ripken .. wouldnt shock me.. because.. he didnt do anything wrong in his career.. a perfect professional.....a shame Cal had to compete with these types of idiots through 80's and early 90's.

[Bigweights9]

WTF is Francesa looking at...This nigga is always staring at the fckin ground...chinky ass muhfcka

[JOECNYC3]

Trading for ASUCK was the worst trade they made since....... I`ll post a comment when I think of one

[StormC99]

asuck? at least say a-roid you dumbass god go fuck yourself dumbass

[dwade3forMVP]

What can you say now with the 5 rbi especially that home run

[Displaysac90]

Francesa is the best.

[skyler0248]

God hes boring, J.T the brick is a hell alot better

[patge5150]

He still cant come up in the clutch! Plus the fans fricking HATE him ever since he came to new york. But A-rod seems to think he is hot shit and cool and can have steroids but he is to much of a fricking dick to wake up and smell the pudding that the truth ALWAYS will come out. Thats what happens to everyone like Barry Bonds ect. He really should have known while the needle was in his arm (Yea, ill have steroids andhit 56 home runs and then have it tarnished by steroids. Coming from a NYY fan!

[danyeo]

He came up in the clutch against Boston this past week when the Yanks SWEPT the series.

[boriqueno17]

still think he can't come through in the clutch? all year he's done nothing but be clutch.

[gregtwins]

r u kidding me SKORPBX this guy came into baseball right when everyone was using steriods u heard it your self he used them before he was a yankee wich i dont buy yankee stadium is the biggest markett for steriods cmon doi really need to start naming all the proven names let alone the guys we know but havent leeked yet . he is tainted face hall of fame player without steriods but he sayed he sayed he did them so regarless he cheated that all that matters.

[SkorpBX]

ARod is the best ever... the self-righteous pricks need to get off his nutsack and research his career and his lowkey charity work.... look up his stats every single year going back to High School.... he's a fuckin beast regardless of all the gossip and media hysteria.... dude batted .360 and took the batting crown in his second year in the league... and maintained the exact same level for 12 years.. 'steroids' is new to the mainstream, but it's been a common part of sports for decades

[feathercappa]

It doesnt matter if hes a beast or not, his legacy, his statistics, his reputation will be tarnished forever. ARod using roids is baseballs worst nightmare come true...Mike hits it right on the head in this clip...Is it ridiculout that the NY tabloids have him on the cover every week, weather its him in central park, or his wife etc. etc. yes it is. Could ARod avoid some of the attention, by maybe not cheating on his wife and keeping alower profile? yhea, prob.

[yankeesyorn]

arod is a daddy fucker not mother fucker

[TempeSoldier123]

You ape, I know u think EVERYONE is from NY but A-Rod is from MIAMI. We played together from 2nd grade up through high school and I'm pretty sure it was in MIAMI, especially since we grfe up together. THIS is why i hate New Yorkers..

[badtown88]

A-Rod is from new york.

[Jaroldv127]

were the fuck is arod from?/

[ssjdeviljin]

I admit I made mistakes in my life,but I can honestly say I never took illegal drugs.I glad none of my Dodgers are on the juice.Welcome home Manny.

[princess11222]

You don't know if any Dodgers are on the juice or not. Nobody knows.

[badtown88]

Eat your words haha

[ssjdeviljin]

But,I won't defend Manny like how Yankees fans defend A-Rod.

[badtown88]

they don't.

[ssjdeviljin]

Read Jetersosexy reply.

[badtown88]

Obviously you don't know much about new york baseball fans. People have hated A-Rod since he came here. Very few fans defend him including myself.

[mystro810]

@badtown88 you made that comment over a year ago. before Arods insane postseason heroics. Without Arod the Yanks would still be sitting on #26. They might not have gottne out of the 1st round. Care to ammend your statement?... by the way I have been an Arod fan since he came to the Yanks. why wouldnt Yankee fans pull hard for a player of his caliber?

[badtown88]

@mystro810

No I don't care to amend my statement. I root for him, but I don't defend him. As good as he is, he's still a miserable human being.

[SpOiLeDeQuAlSmE]

@badtown88 My point exactly.

[ddoggs2008]

@badtown88 ive always supported a rod since 2004 when he came to new york i loved the move

[mysteryskateteam]

@badtown88 i hate arod and im from new york city i enjoy watching the yankees but he cheated and whenever i see his numbers i think of it as a lie

[MasterKrabs]

hahahhaha MANNY'S ON JUICE!!!!!!!!!!

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[jetersosexy2]

Listen people, don't hate A-rod for taking steroids. Everyone makes mistakes and he owned up to it. I'm sure many of you who are hating..have lied and made mistakes and didn't confess...

[coronachilla]

word.

[ballboy102]

a-rod is a cheater

[VineMan87]

I'm glad A-Rod admitted he took steroids.But he shouldn't be in the Hall Of Fame.

[ballboy102]

I agree with you he should be in the hall of shame

[bootleg42]

A-Roids

[yankeesroidscheaters]

teixiera is on roids, he got them from boras!

[wrangloctopus]

he's really good, some great points, really represents the yankee fans well

[NYatheist]

Wow I miss the 1980s when baseball was still clean,with a few exceptions(corked bats,scuffing the ball,etc)Now we have cheating hulks driving up salaries andas a result ticket prices,and old Yankee Stadium is gone so they can pay their sick salries from luxury boxes,etc.

[mixndrink569]

Clemens tainted, Giambi tainted, A Rod tainted......Sheffield tainted........lol......oh you loud mouth yankee fans....as a Sox fan this is so great I can't get the smile off my face......the Yankee legends must hate these guys......way too disgrace the uniform you roiders...........lmaoffffff

[cameroncrazie818]

yankees are cheaters...plain and simple.

AND YANKEE MANAGEMENT: dont give us any shit about "o, we didnt know." I mean like 7 guys in the past 2-3 years? Give me a fucking break, you guys know.

NEXT UP: MARK TEIXEIRA!! :]

[katny33]

Well Mr Red sux fan...news flash...how does big poopie?? play on the twins and suck... go to fagway park and other parks and hits better and better each year...YES HE IS ON ROIDS..NO QUES!!! YOUK YES THEY HAVE NOT CAUGHT HIM YET AND MR. SCHILLING DEF!! BOSTON WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE BACK SEAT...WISHING THEY HAD YANKS HISTORY...I don't care about the roids...i believe they ALL take something..OPEN YOUR EYES KID!!! boston fans are sooo jealous i love it...ciao.

[NYatheist]

You hope Teixeira is on roids?Wow Yankee haters are one sad species.

[NYatheist]

You must be crazy if you dont think Manny was roided all those years.Look at MLB Network games from 1980s,no player looked all buffed up.Then in the 90s you see the roid mutants popping up on every team.

[mustangdust57]

1-718-937-6666 they give the number all the time on the ny tri state area radio station hes on wfan am 660

[thetool91]

whats the number to call into to talk to them

they never give the number its so dumb

[NYatheist]

If you really love a player,you should not want to risk him dying early from the roid damage to his body.If winning ballgames is all that matters then people have absurd values.

[wasap17]

Sick of hearing the juice issues. They do what they have to do to play and put fans in the seats!

[katny33]

I don't care if A-ROD takes roids!! Fake Papi is def on ROIDS period!!! BOSTON will always be 2nd Class NEXT TO THE GREATEST TEAM IN ANY SPORT PERIOD!! Don't Hate...YOUK is on the roids Manny WATCH THE NAMES THAT COME OUT...KIDS!!!

[cameroncrazie818]

ehh youk isn't, manny idk, ill bet you papi isnt either.

But tell me, how does your management play the "we didnt know" card so well, when theyve had like 6-7 players in the last 2 years on roids? Dont give me tht shit, THEY KNOW/KNEW

[ND7652]

The problem is the manor that this has been reported . Owners, Players, Media made the Faustian bargain. To buy into myth over reality. The public bought the brand. And when it was first reported. Steroids where portrayed as something the marginal or vainglorious player did to keep up. Dont you find it odd that this revelation has occurred AFTER EVERY TEAM has had Stadiums,Built , Re-Financed, or Renovated.

[zhour1014]

FUCK A-HOLE AND THE SKANKEES

[MelchiorreItaly]

A*Rod

[Atrain1828]

smoking and drinking isnt cheating, steroids is. and its not like it even matters, even though everyone knows he's did steroids, he'll still make millions every season. any athlete that does steroids sucks

[johnsmdm]

hey if A-Rod wants to take steroids growth hormone and cocaine whats it to ya hunh?..you drink dont ya hmmm?..watch your mouth sirs!

[TellEveThat]

Yankees are damning themselves for decades by supporting A-Roid. Let me get this straight. Obama goes to the middle east and gives speeches to arab nations but never once mentions the 1,350 Palestinians who had just been murdered by Israeli jews in Gaza but he speaks out on A-Roid? Obama is just more of the same. If A-Roid has been taking 'roids since HS where did he get the money to pay for them? A coach?

[lxplaya]

I think the most important question is why is the president getting soft-ball questions from reporters about a-rod? Ask the man a real question!

[KidByTheBay415]

I love Barry Bonds! It still hurts!!!!! Now, I hope you fans know what I went through!!!! A-Roid!!!!!!!A-Roid!

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[d1canios]

How will he put up bigger numbers with the new testing procedures coming into place. Next, you will be saying Aaron deserves to be 3rd in the home run list, because he didn't have the brains to cheat. Or is he one of the wife beaters and gamblers you so eloquently refer to?

[d1canios]

* Rod forever now. Get rid of the cheat. * Rod is a disgrace to the legends that have graced this great game. Torre was right, A Fraud. Take the ROID hits from his record. * Rod will be shipped from the Yanks. George will hate the bad publicity.

[WuYorkYankees]

First of all, George doesn't know what god damn day it is. Second, you sound like a douche...oh the legends are now disgraced....the history of the game is filled with wife beaters and gamblers so who cares.

I believe Alex, or A-Roid(I really like that), will put up even bigger numbers because it's out. Either that or he will press like when he first came here and we can all boo him as usual.

[TEKM0SIS]

niggers die

[TEKM0SIS]

Mike Francesa, you are an idiot. A-Rod will always be A-Rod. People will always hate him even if he cured cancer they would poke holes in his success. A-Rod made a mistake...okay, time doesn't stop.

Don't listen to SI. they get paid to write Bullshit. Even when A-Rod goes on ESPN an admits his wrong doings they trash him for that too. ESPN, Sports illustrated, theses are the people you ignore.

[NYatheist]

It seems people should not get confused that a player that is naturally talented and skilled through practice,has still done something wrong when they try to increase results with a fluid they ingest that swells their body.One look at the typical bloated face/head of the steroid user seems to show steroids are a bad idea.

[NYatheist]

I don't think a players career should be over because of the first offense.But certainly a second offense would have to be considered grounds for a lifetime ban.I hope we dont get seduced by the idea that we like players who will try to win at all costs,including their own future health.

[NYatheist]

Also I think the forfeited salary should go to programs dedicated to educating high school and college athletes about the very serious dangers of steroids.I know the players union is strong and can almost certainly block such measures.But hopefully they consider the damage to young people that follow the pros example and see their responsibility for doing harm well beyond the integrity of the record books.

[NYatheist]

I'm glad to see they are very serious about catching players via the testing program,and reporting results to the public. It seems the next necessary step is very stiff penalties which I think should be a full season suspension and forfeit of that year's salary.

[ajp135212]

Arods career is not over and those concluding his career are doing it cuz they hated him from the beginning. you have to look at what he has done prior to 2001 and after 2003. plus hes has 9 more years of dominating the game to proves those haters who hate him cuz his name is alex rodriguez that he can still play i mean look at the year he had in 05 and 07.

[cinderblok]

Stop drinking the Yankee Kool-Aid. He cheated. He used ILLEGAL DRUGS. He hit 57 Home Runs on steroids. You don't know if he just used between 01 and 03. His image is forever ruined. He lied to you. You think I want my two kids looking up to A-Roid? To A-Fraud? How do I explain this to my son? My son's only 6 years old. He hears steroids, and he knows what that is. Do you see where the problem is now?

[ajp135212]

yeah he also hit 54 clean and won 2 mvps scince then and batted 358 and hit 36 hr in his rookie season. he also hit 48 in 05. all clean. he cheated but u cant take the fact that arod is still a great player. the numbers he put in 03 are usally the types of seasons arod would have. and i still look up to him cuz no matter what i know hes a good ball player im not a fake ass fans like most yankee fans r. hes been my idol since i was 5 years old now im 17 and nothing has changed.

[nevermind1993]

Personally, I could care less that A-rod took PED's and the fact that people are already concluding that his career is tarnished depresses me. Their is a blatant double standard when it comes to role models(Michael Phleps). Middle America must realize that these people never asked to be role models and that they are not culpable for the effect their actions have on us. It is we who allow ourselves to invest our trust in the exploits of people whom we do not know. America needs to get over it.

[gittygittygoo1012]

but a lot of football players do roids too that

[baseballphenom512]

nice opinion

[bobmiers1969]

who the @#$% was the union person who outed him thats a discussion all onto its own. Can't trust your own union ..shame

[timb8157]

In a time when baseball is attempting to clean up its image to improve the fan base. Alex has done right by admitting using steriods. When anyone who makes a mistake and comes forward it really says something about character. I have just been disgusted on how MLB and the media have dealt with this problem. Either the MLB has the proof to accuse those on the "using steriods list" or not.

[ShadowXer]

I have never been happier then when Alex Rodriguez admitted to steroid use. Its not at all because I hate him. Its because this is going to save him from a Roger Clemens/Barry Bonds sort of ordeal, where he is in court for steroids. Good move, A-Rod, I completely forgive you.

[starky455]

but the fact is that steroids are illegal and with all these allegations of steroid usage, just let it go an move on, i know it sounds hard, but we need too. cause theres players out there that will eventually better the records, even if you think they wont, new times calls for new players and problems. Baseball will be tarnished no matter what. just know that the real players are the ones of the past and not the present, and maybe the future

[starky455]

i think that all the allegations about how the steroids change players it dont! steroids dont change the way you pick up the ball with your eyes. im so sick of how baseball treats these players and how they are personified and looked at as players. Its a new world, its no long Aaron and Ruth and all the greats who played in the past, the world has changed and baseball has changed an we need to accept that. Its 2009 and we have become a corrupted by are selves and whats out there in the world.

[Wheeljack35]

He did it in Texas

But i'm glad he admited to it

[yankeejack5]

it was 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! not now it was not illegle then why be soooo hung up about it it stopped 6 years ago it is ok he did nothing wrong

[useyourillusion94]

It is a shame that he did do steroids but he did admit it. It was in 2003 he was just traded to the Texas rangers and was under immense pressure to perform. He said himself he was young stupid and naive and he regrets it deeply. Since he was clean every single day that he was a New York Yankee . I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion because on a list of 104 ppl who did steroids A-rod is the only one the media talks about

[gycc1913]

is absolutely right, it's very unfair, why not expose the names of the other 103 players. just because we talk about alex, and because nothing else comes to the face, it is assumed that these tests were confidential, because 6 years after all this comes to light, as fanatica the Yankees as one of the fanatica Alex Rodriguez's best baseball and the Dominican Republic, I say that here there is something strange that is out of context.

[marumamad]

I agree :] But only because it was so long ago anyway.

[gycc1913]

so do not come now crucified, the numbers are there and speak for themselves, and calculate the numbers of 2004 to date, in these years, there have been many tests that echo and it came out negative, and at that time steroids were allowed, alex, your true fans are with you and support you.

[useyourillusion94]

exactly

[gycc1913]

we should not judge alex, that consumed steroids in 2003 and his stay with the Yankees has been cleaned, no matter what happens, is and will remain the best, was 2 times more valuable player, and many home runs he has given, and everyone makes mistakes and stupidity,

[xxchris]

I still love A-Rod.

[bubbaStapes]

It's not like this is the first time it's happened in the MLB, but I'm disappointed in A-Rod. So much for 500+ CLEAN home runs.

[ZzSmacKyzZ]

A-Fraud thats what he gets for denying that he is dominican

[YankeesRule715]

A-Roid

[stovicini822]

lol ur a yankee fan, u dont deserve to be a yankee fan douchbag, u dont call ur own plarers that bitch. rite now i loook at u n see a red sox fan. a-rod not a-riod bitch. a-rod's true fans still support him

[YankeesRule715]

im a yankee fan i like a-rod i just dont agree with what hes doing

[stovicini822]

i know but i suppoert him 100 percent, wat he is did was stupid and it was a mistake. we should just let it go.

[lxplaya]

I don't care about steriods anymore, is he doing HGH that's the question now

[baddog7676]

I'm listening to this on WFAN.

Arod is a bum! I supported this guy, and stuck up for him for YEARS! I've defended this guy tooth and nail, but he's no better than anyone else. He's a CHEATER just like Bonds, just like Clemens, Palmeiro, Sosa, McGwire etc etc etc.

I believed in this guy and he truly let me down. He better get his shit together and contribute to a Yankee championship. His numbers mean NOTHING now

[HarveyRex23]

It should be to no one's surprise that A-Fraud took illegal anabolic steroids. Considering A-Fraud has a body of a 235 lb. tailback. But I agree with Francesca in that I will be very shocked as well if Mo Rivera or Derek Jeter took the juice as well. As far as A-Fraud goes, no one has been more mediocre in post season play than A-Rod. And I think he'd be the first to admit it.

[pyromanic521]

its a shame A-Rod did steroids, at least he admitted it though

[DonkeyFist]

He didn't admit it, he told Katie Couric in 2007 that he never did steroids, and that he was never even TEMPED to do steroids. He's a liar. He hasn't admitted anything and will only do so now that he was caught.

[stovicini822]

lol mlb was not supposed to leak it, and the court of california sealed the results. so it doesnt fucking count who cares its 09, that was 6 years ago, hes was clean from 04 to present day, all true a-rod fans we all support a-rod, we all do dtupid mistakes okay. just shut the fuck up.
