  I think that all of the  suspensions handed out today were pretty fair, I mean ALL OF THOSE GUYS ARE CHEATERS!!! I am just glad that none of my Dodgers got  suspended

   These guys are not just CHEATERS, they are liars.  Anyone that has been suspended, they are done with Baseball.   They should not be allowed in the Hall of Fame, and they should not be able to retain any records they have.  I think they should have to forfeit any monies owed to them.   They cheated a lot of players out of a chance, because they thought it was a level playing field. But because they were playing without the drugs they did not have a chance.     Any teams that knowingly looked the other way should also be forced to pay hefty fines.   I think what they have done is worse than the betting Pete Rose did, and he is banned for life.

Agreed with all of the above!! Cheaters never prosper, u will be caught!!  I'm a true METS fan anyways!!

What was the Baretta motto from the late 70's.....Don't Do the Crime if you can't afford the time.  Now  these criminals will have a lot of time to think about it.

I will be shocked if Alex Rodriguez's 211 game suspension is upheld during the appeals process.  I have no doubt that he is guilty, and the fact the others all agreed to their suspensions without appeal pretty much shows that baseball has concrete evidence. 

The problem in the A-Rod situation is, Bud Selig seems to be stretching the boundaries of how long he can suspend him via the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.  None of these men tested positive for a test.  Selig is going back to past situations (ie. Anthony Galea) and what he deemed as "lack of cooperation" when talking to A-Rod in the past about allegations.  Basically, he's trying to make an example out of him.  My guess is, A-Rod's legal team is going to argue that his client is being unfairly targeted over the rest of the accused, that MLB has it out for him (remember how conveniently A-Rod's, and only A-Rod's, name was leaked from what was supposed to be a confidential list of players who failed tests during spring training before the program was put in place?), that you can't now try and punish for past situations because it's convenient to do so now, and that his punishment should be in line with the others tied to this. 

My guess?  50 to 100 games, tops.  You'll see him on the field sometime during the 2014 season.

They should be suspended for life.  And, Pete Rose should be allowed in the Baseball Hall of Fame!

I figured it was about the baseball guys....but I don't follow it.  Just hear blips on radio

[plennis]

  They may get a worse punishment than MLB can give them. a few years back when  they had a bunch given fines and time off for the drugs.......a few years later a lot of those  same guys at very young ages started getting some really weird cancers and other diseases.  Being athletes you would think that they would treat their bodies so much better than that.    You will never convince me that the drugs they were taking to enhance their bodies didn't have something to do with that.

These suspensions are most likely just the beginning. What is sad about this whole situation is that professional baseball has turned into a competitive business involving money and unethical methods used to win. What happened to good old-fashioned sportsmanship?
