Alex Rodriguez sues to overturn ban

 

Hahahhahahahhahahahaha.

 

 

[NrM]

That's awesome.

[nate]

I can't believe he is suing the MLBPA... he must not ever plan on playing again.

[Blarg]

If Braun can blame Fed Ex for a delivery schedule then A-Rod should have no problem contesting bought testimony and breach of non disclosure. It was stupid of Selig and Bosch to be interviewed by 60 minutes after signing a confidentiality agreement.

[Brent Maguire]

Good luck Alex. You're gonna need it.

He has proven he wants to win at any cost.

[Inside Pitch]

He has proven he wants to win at any cost.

Yep -- he's not worried about burning any bridges at this point.  His attack on the MLBPA and Weiner isn't going to win him any friends.

 

Arod situation has future HBO movie written all over it.

Selig didn't go on 60 minutes.  A Rod had already released statements saying that the MLB was making things up, MLB went on to set the record straight.

[mrwicked]

i hope he wins. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

He has almost no chance of winning.

Shouldn't bother Weiner all that much.

[Troll Daddy]

Arod is just exercising his rights ... I like it.

Not sure he has any friends, or bridges left.

It does affect one of the 30 teams you are a fan of.

[Angel Oracle]

Go away Teflon Pay-Rod, just go away!

[gurn67]

At third base for your Yomiuri Giants, Alex Rodriguez!!!

Has anyone seen the lawsuit in PDF format?

 

Apparently, the 33-page arbitrator decision is included with it.  I'd love to read it.

I can't think of anyone less capable of record straightening than a drug dealer and a senile former colluder. But, hey, centaurs, AMIRITE?!?

[Chimi]

He might win. The judge he got on this case is the same one that ruled last month that the NSA spying on us is perfectly legal.

[Mark68]

How cute.

[angelfan61]

let the fraud go down and take the Skankees with him

Bosch is not a MLB employee.  Once again Bud Selig didn't go on 60 minutes.

[Stradling]

It will be an interesting case, and I am not really sure if Arod loses this case. If Arod was suspended for PED use then he has a decent chance of winning would be my guess. If he was suspended because of the best interest of the game, then I think he has no chance of winning. I feel the same way most on this board feels about the guy, but Selig does have a hard on for the guy and if this is a PED suspension, my guess is the punishment doesn't fit into CBA. I am not saying it is right or wrong it just is what it is.

[floplag]

Either this mans lawyers are the worst in history, or there is still a great deal of data we don't know publically.

What could they possibly have grounds to think this could be won?  or are they simply trying for an injunction or time to get him another year in before going away?

Its almost nonsensical... though from a competitive standpoint i rather hope he wins the case or at least gets to play this year before getting obliterated.

Bottom line it seems silly on the surface... makes you wonder what the real plan is.
