The Yankees may obliquely refer to their designated hitter’s PED past as a means of denying his accomplishments. But lord help anyone else who tries to do so!

Earlier today The Port Charlotte Stone Crabs, the high-A affiliate for the Tampa Bay Rays, announced “A-Rod Juice Box Night,” in which the first 500 fans would get a juice box. Written on the side of the box: “The Sports Drink,” “100% Juiced,” and “Side Affects include: tainted records, inflated ego, omission from the Hall of Fame, and more!” The ad, which was part of a now-deleted tweet, looked like this:



A laugh? I suppose. But even if it’s not exactly hilarious or particularly timely, it’s probably pretty harmless all things considered. The Yankees, however, did not agree: The Rays shut this down, stating it was in poor taste.

I'd like to know where this last comment came from? The reporters words, or rather the reporter paraphrasing, the Rays Brass, or simply a Honest Statement on this issue......?

This is the type of stuff that A-rod brought on himself and the ball club. And though the Yankees may have not like this type of "spoof" they should have thought about stuff like this when they let him back in the fold. Yep old Hank Steinbrenner is proud of his boy.

Yeah Hank acts like He's so proud of His Boy, reminds me too much of Milwaukee's approach with Braun on Opening Day 014......with his standing O.......at least they have an excuse in Milwaukee, they recycle their Beers, right on the premises..........

What an Awkward Dance b/t A-roid and Hank.....?

FORG1V3 really, how about some RE2PECT to the Fans, and all those A-roid fkd over.......

"Say it isn't so Joe"....?

No=

"How many Gummies do I take and when"........the only player in MLB History I can think of, who had the gall to go public, saying He was suing the MLPA.......

and these are the role models of kids......???
