It would have been 214 if it wasn't for the National....they had their decisions made by Friday but they were talked into waiting until the National was over...nothing to spoil card buying like steroids...thus the Monday announcement.

With Aroid, they never discussed the specific amount of games, they discussed in terms of YEARS.. They had that much evidence.

Notice not 1 of the other 12 players is fighting it, since they saw the conclusive evidence against them.

Just because it didn't go through a court or jury doesn't mean MLB has a weak case....they have an IRONCLAD case...MLBPA IS NOT FIGHTING ANYTHING, only AROID is fighting. His ego got hi in this mess and it continues to hurt him.

yes I know they didn't "pick" 211, and they just didn't want to see him for the rest of this year and next, but is this in the rules to do so? other players didn't fight it cause they all got what the "rule" says 50 games. except for Brawn, who was out right loud and demanding he did nothing, DID fail a test and got some poor guy fired for doing nothing wrong. They 4x arod. Look im not saying he dosnt deserve it, just saying #1 is it leagle? #2 did MLB make a big mistake doing this, cause if the judge (arbitrator) sees this is too much im not sure, if either #1 - he can suspend him for a lesser amount of games OR if the case is just dismissed and arod gets set free.
