Just quit and go form you own league if you dont like what Selig is doing .

Fuck A Rod, but Selig should be there

Ever since the suspension I've pretty much said the MLB is handling this like idiots but since everybody hates A-Rod they're getting a pass. Hopefully A-Rod outburst will at least get some people to see all the shady shit MLB did to get him, like impeding a Florida Department of Health investigation of Tony Bosch by buying possibly stolen documents intended for The State.

So what? Is he not entitled to due process?

I have been on record for many years about this horrible waste of a human being. He is an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!

It is one thing to do steroids and lead your club to a title like David Ortiz. It is quite another to do steroids and then look like a little league ballplayer in the last playoff series with Detroit! Did anybody besides me watch this performance? It looked as if 1) the Detroit pitchers were all throwing in excess of one hundred (100) miles per hour; and 2) Alex "Not a True Yankee" Rodriquez was swinging a lead bat. I am ashamed to admit that many, many swear words were coming out of my mouth every time this punk watched another grooved strike sail by while he had a vacant stare on his face. The Detroit pitchers were practically laughing at him! I almost wish he was on narcotics, because then at least his performance could be explained. Of all the horrible, choking playoff performances this loser has "treated" us to over the years, he managed to save the very worst for last.

Even Reggie Jackson, who I cannot stand, managed to step it up a bit when it counted. This mental midget does not have any such ability. Why must he continue to torment me!?!

Let me put it to you this way: if you were to say "You have to pick between having A.J. "Hayseed" Burnett on your team or Alex "Not Even a Good Cheater" Rodriguez on your team" I WOULD PICK A.J. BURNETT!!! AND HE GAVE ME ULCERS AND CHRONIC HEADACHES!!

God is great, that is all I can say.

A large part of this is that he has tried to mess with the process with some financial inducements to those who can provide testimony.

Exactly what MLB did too.

None of that changes the fact that he's a serial and unrepentant steroid user.

I've always says he was. None of that changes the fact that this is a MLB witch hunt, and referencing your point about the arbitration, it's pretty clear MLB isn't even following the process.

The documents they're using were almost definitely stolen from Biogenesis and they are going around the CBA since they are suspending him based on circumstantial evidence rather than drug testing results and he's getting far harsher treatment than any other player. A-Rod hasn't failed a MLB drug test since 2003.

I thought he failed one in 2006 for stimulants but that isn't the crux of your point so it doesn't matter ... I thought he had failed a test but I see that's not the case.

SO, his treatment could well be categorized as "unfair". Still, though, pissing and moaning about things being unfair along with taking your ball and going home (e.g., I won't testify either) removes any potential credibility gained by griping about Selig not testifying, your innocence, etc.

I mean, back in August he was all “I’m fighting for my life,” Rodriguez said in his Monday press conference. “If I don’t defend myself, no one will.” Well, all the sudden he's not going to defend himself, so then why the fuck should I give a damn?

Fuck A Rod, but Selig should be there

As evidenced by the opinions here, he had no credibility anyway back then. Sure, a "You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order!" is a bit dramatic, but why not?
