Get used to it, Alex Rodriguez … because that’s what you’re going to be hearing at MLB Ballparks this year, whenever you step up to bat. It’s gonna be deafening.
And Home Run Derby will be calling Rodriguez “A-ROID” from now on.
Because Sports Illustrated has itself a little bit of a bombshell this morning … namely that Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003.
In 2003, when he won the American League home run title and the AL Most Valuable Player award as a shortstop for the Texas Rangers, Alex Rodriguez tested positive for two anabolic steroids, four sources have independently told Sports Illustrated.
There are 103 more players that tested positive for PED’s in 2003 whose names haven’t been released. So this could be the story that keeps on giving.
As a result, Home Run Derby has asterisk’ed Rodriguez’s 2001-3 AL Andre Dawson Awards, given to the Most Outstanding player on a last place team.
And it’s a damn shame the Yankees don’t put player names on the back of their jerseys, because it means I can’t personalize one with “A-ROID” with the #13 on the back.

Nice Job Ryan.
Only problem is that MLB wouldn’t let that roll off the press.

Soon he will go from “A Roid” to the new “noid” in Dominos ads.
Maybe Madonna will give us fodder as well.
Maybe “A-Penis-pump”
You know to make up for the roids and all.
