Seriously.

Barry was a trainer last year for the entire SF Giants team  
jlukes : 1/21/2015 9:16 am : link
and did personal training with several other players.
Hey, at this point he might as well own it

Wow

you could not make this stuff up.

And I agree, since A-rod is the King of the Juicers he might as will go all in and own it at this point.
I really want to see him go full heel...

hit one out at Fenway and stop at 2nd base, cup his ears and then finish his homerun trot (which would still be faster than Papi's).
Hilarious

Can't make it up.

LOL.. I mean, it's not like the guy has anything to lose at this point. Why not just go all out?

When your image/reputation is as bad as A-Rod's, the last thing you want to is to train with a guy who is just as shady rep-wise....

At this point who really gives a shit? He could rescue a school bus full of children and their cats from a nursing home fire and the back pages would find some unclever pun headline to run him down. This is not to say he doesn't deserve the disapprobation, only that absolutely nothing he does is going to mitigate it. If he goes out and plays well people will more or less suck it up, if he goes out and plays like shit "he sucks" will join the "cheater" chorus.
Who cares?

His reputation is already shot. Like others have posted, Bonds has been training players for the past couple of years now.
I kind of like A-Rod now  
illmatic : 1/21/2015 12:35 pm : link
he's just in full heel mode. He does not give a single fuck and it's pretty hilarious.
Haha  
illmatic : 1/21/2015 12:36 pm : link
I didn't even see Dune's post when I made mine. That would be awesome. He needs to just roll with it like that.
Arod and Barry are not ball players

They are both lab experiments gone wrong. The lying and cheating comes naturally to them and their stupendous ego's are a perfect match. They should marry each other and live happily ever after.
2 best baseball players of the last 40 yrs

Nothing about Bonds' lab experiment went wrong outside of it being obvious. The guy got to a point where if you threw him a strike, he hit a home run. He was getting intentionally walked in situations where no book on the planet would tell you to walk someone. He was literally a human video game.

no cases of liver or heart damage, no cancers like Alzado's , nor any of the health ailments associated with the previous generation of PEDs. Bonds benefited from increased vision. His routine fly ball to the opposite power alley easily cleared most outfield walls. These 2 were not the only ones taking them. I know from good sources that at least one player recently voted in also used PEDs. All these guys belong in the HOF. A-Rod is garbage because of the cover-ups, lies, threats and pay-offs. But let's not forget that beloved Papi also used them & that the Mitchell Report started the policy of selected disclosure & punishment . Then the media received the baton & went crazy on whoever had a connection with the Yankees.
