what kills me is the fact that it doesn't make a difference if the charges are true or not, she's gonna make a killing w/this book & a ton of these allegations are based on hearsay type stuff... i mean if you have a legit source that's concrete & have the evidence to back it up, fine... go right ahead & write an expose, that's a journalist's duty to do so... but if u wanna slander someone based on some quotes u got off some ex-teammates or whatever else & can't even name your damn sources, how does a book like this even warrant publication? because the stupid public eats this stuff up & this type of trash journalism will always sell is why... credibility be damned, she's gonna make a ton of money on this book & so will the publishers who printed this garbage.
Selena Roberts has zero credibility whatsoever-- see her coverage of the Duke Lacrosse case. A muckraker with no substance behind her allegations. That people still read her and take her seriously is a travesty.
personally, i feel that if MLB's investigation into these allegations don't produce any definitive proof, that Selene Roberts should be banned from any contact w/MLB players, personnel, venues & anything that has anything to do w/the game of baseball... if ARod's livelihood, career & reputation is being put on the line here, so should hers... if u wanna make these types of allegations u better damn well be ready to pay the consequences for them if they're not accurate.

She's already been proven horribly wrong once - how she still has an audience is unbelievable to me-

i have my own suspicions about ARod's steroid use, but personally i'm hoping that her "sources" turn up to be nothing substantial other than hearsay comments & that ARod takes this biotch to court for slander.
another investigation needs to be conducted to find out who leaked the supposedly "Sealed" steroid test results if there hasn't been one conducted already... those are grounds for criminal prosecution... the fact that she's got access to this type of information should also warrant investigation into her own background.
one thing i don't understand is how MLB allows their own network to completely bash one of their marquee players before their investigation is complete. it's mindboggling.
because the Yankees & ARod hating public eats it up... the media always tries to cater to the masses... if no one cared about ARod this wouldn't even be worthy of discussion... someone could write a book about Selene Roberts being a crack addicted lesbian who used to be a man & had a sex change but no one would give 2 craps.

I've had it up to my eyeballs with ARod, but I been telling people the same exact thing that you just said since all this crap broke. Selena Roberts is a JOKE. J-O-K-E. Her out of bounds and downright sloppy journalism with that whole Duke thing should have gotten her fired and banned from ever writing another story for ANYTHING.

I am so sick of the NY sports bashing on espn and other networks. It pisses me off! I cannot stand the sports guy anymore! Every single article he takes shots at NY sports teams. Fucking ridiculous!
Marte was put on the DL and Claggett was called up.

perfect... we're replacing our shaky lefty reliever w/someone who gave up 8 ER over 1.2 inning the last time he was up here... Claggett's not even putting up tremendously good stats at the AAA level either... what's the point?
why don't they call up Zach Kroenke, or at least Brett Tomko... Kroenke's pitching to a stellar 0.84 ERA right now at Scranton over 10.2 IP & Tomko's pitching at an equally impressive 0.87 ERA over 10.1 IP.

Is there a legit injury, which might explain why Marte's been awful? Or is this just an excuse to make room for someone new?

I think it may have to do with transferring people on and off the 40 man roster.
marte's been hurt since the WBC.
Then why was he pitching? That's just wasting valuable time that could be spent recovering? How awful.
if the game is on, swish is playing today. arod may be up by the weekend.

the Yanks waived Humberto Sanchez to make a spot on the 40 man roster & they were very high on him at 1 point, i have to believe they'd be willing to bump someone off that 40 man to make room for a guy in the minors putting up those types of #'s that can potentially help this team this year... they should just cut Eric Hacker loose.
