This is a chapter MLB would like to forget - since they were in cahoots with it.

:lol: Especially Bonds' neck (or lack thereof).

Bonds was the most striking transformation, because he was clean for a couple of years early in his career.

A-Rod has hit homers against 26 clubs - never against:
Marlins
Reds
Cubs
Cardinals


The Yanks do play four against the Marlins this year

I was at the game last night and saw first hand why A-Rod is so disliked.

He hit a ground ball to short. The shortstop booted the ball and scrambled to pick it up in hopes of still making the play. He took a glance at A-Rod trotting slowly down the first base line and saw he was able to take his time, take an extra crow hop and make a nice, easy throw over to first.

Your boy is too much of a prima donna to run out a ground ball.
