Albert Pujols needs his teammates to step up!

st. Louis Cardinals need to step up there hitting game. though they have won 6 out of there last 8 games, they depend on Pujols all the time. now other teams have realized this, so they pitch around him. in 8 games Pujols has had only 3 RBI.

the new Yankee stadium some believe is in a wind tunnel because normal fly balls are carrying over the fence, numerous times this season already. is this cause more people are taking steroids so they are hitting harder, or is this because of the set up of the park

In 1992, Rodriguez could only bench press 100 pounds. Only 6 months later in 1993, his senior year in high school, he could bench 310 pounds.
Was this from working so hard or did he get a little help from steroids?

Rodriguez spent 2 years playing for the AAA Calgary cannons from 1994 until 1996 when he came up with the Seattle Mariners as their starting shortstop.
Do you think he felt pressure to perform so well that he took steroids when he finally made it to the big leagues?

heres an article about a-rod and steroids

Alex Rodriguez's steroid use disappointing for fans.

What makes revelations of Alex Rodriguez's steroid use so sad is that he did not need steroids to be one of the best players ever. Rodriguez's accomplishments will forever be viewed with skepticism like the other false heroes of the steroid era. Instead of being compared to Ted Williams, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth, Rodriguez is now relegated to the drug-laced group of could-have-beens and cheats.

THE number of professional baseball players connected to steroids is bulking up like toxic hitting records. The latest player to be busted stirs emotions of sadness and righteous indignation in Mariners fans.

Sports Illustrated reported that former Mariner Alex Rodriguez tested positive for two anabolic steroids in 2003. Too bad for fans, the game and Rodriguez. The positive result came from a 2003 survey test done by Major League Baseball in which 104 players tested positive. Only Rodriguez's name has been revealed.

On Monday in an ESPN interview, Rodriguez copped to using steroids while with the Texas Rangers. He said the pressure to prove he was worth the Texas-sized $252 million contract forced him to use steroids.

Nice try, A-Rod. Every job has pressure. Cheating is not the right way to prove your worth.

Rodriguez, a tabloid regular since being traded to the New York Yankees after the 2003 season, has nobody to blame but himself. Not the reporter who broke the story, not the culture of steroid abuse that has tainted a generation of baseball players, and not the ridiculously large contract he received for jumping the good ship Mariner for the Rangers.

What makes Rodriguez's actions so sad is that he did not need steroids to be one of the best players ever. His accomplishments will forever be viewed with skepticism, like the other false heroes of the steroid era. Instead of being compared to Ted Williams, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth, Rodriguez is now relegated to the drug-laced group of could-have-beens and cheats.

MLB can begin to restore a smidgen of confidence by releasing the other 103 names. Until that happens, there will be a cloud of suspicion over every player.
