I hope he delays it enough so hes off the IR when the suspension goes into effect so the yankees have to pay his salary the whole time.
Aroid is doing a (non drug) rehab game tonight in AAA or some such shit.
Now, today is supposed to be judgement day....please, please, please let A-Fraud get a lifetime ban
They're supposed to ban him for the rest of this season and for the entire next season. He's set to appeal. If he does appeal he'll be able to play until the appeal process is over. What the commish does after he appeals remains to be seen. I believe the commish has the option to override ARod's appeal and ban him from baseball for life "in the best interests of the game". We'll see what happens.
And it's officially come down: A-Rod is suspended for the rest of this season and for the entire next season, but the suspension is stayed until the end of his appeal. So he'll be allowed to play for the next couple of weeks until his appeal is decided.

Funny, no word about him appealing yet.
A-Rod suspended but expected to play out season
Alex Rodriguez and 12 other major and minor leaguers were suspended Monday, but it's the New York Yankees third baseman who will be playing the remainder of the season.
Rodriguez was banned through the 2014 season effective Thursday but immediately appealed the penalty, allowing him to make his season debut Monday night in Chicago against the White Sox.
The Collective Bargaining Agreement states that the appeal is to be heard within 10 days by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who then has 25 days to render a decision when possible. However, MLB Player Association executive director Michael Weiner said on a conference call conflicts in Horowitz's schedule mean the process will not conclude until after the season. Union general counsel David Prouty said, "We're just starting to talk to the Commissioner's office about that."
"I am disappointed with the penalty and intend to appeal and fight this through the process," Rodriguez said in a statement released to media outlets, including USA TODAY Sports.
Said MLB in the statement announcing Rodriguez's suspension: "Rodriguez's discipline under the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program is based on his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and Human Growth Hormone, over the course of multiple years," MLB said in a statement. "Rodriguez's discipline under the Basic Agreement is for attempting to cover-up his violations of the Program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's investigation. The suspension, which will become effective on Thursday, August 8, will cover 211 Championship Season games and any 2013 Postseason games in which Rodriguez otherwise would have been eligible to play."

Son of a bitch... the Phillies fired Charlie Manuel.
I hope they fire Ruben Amaro soon. He's more to blame for the Phillies' troubles than Charlie was.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha....A-Roid's lawyer got OWNED on live TV yesterday. Douchebag lawyer was running around all weekend saying that he couldn't discuss anything at all because of the MLB confidentiality agreement and Matt Lauer sprung a letter from MLB saying they will waive the confidentiality agreement so that both sides could publicly discuss everything they want. They are declining to sign the letter.
What a bunch of wankers.
