By title, Mike Borzello was the Yankees' bullpen catcher. But those around the team understood that for the past four years, he was mostly known as Alex Rodriguez's confidant, counselor and confessor. "Nobody in the last four years, including his wife because she wasn't on the road, spent more time with Alex than I did,'' Borzello said by phone yesterday. "In four years I was with him 24 hours a day, and not one time did I ever hear, see or get wind of anything having to do with performance enhancing drugs, steroids, HGH, anything," said Borzello, now the Dodgers' catching instructor.

They are all dirty. Plain and simple....the entire league. Thsi dude makes it sound like they **** and spent 24 hours a day together. Jeter would not stand for that, not for one minute.

It's nice that your 'B.F.F' is sticking up for your here, but when it comes down to it, his opinion that you didn't do it is as irrelevant as Jose's opinion that you did...

March 27, 2008  07:25 AM ET

IMO...first, Jose only said he introduced A-Rod to "max". Never says that he in fact every saw him purchase or use them. NOT that I'm defending Jose but all he's saying is that he believes A-Rod did them. Absolutely no proof.

Second. For this guy to say he spent 24 hours a day with A-Rod is a bit much. What, did this guy go in the stall with A-Rod when he was taking a dump? I don't care who you are or what you do, there is always some point in the day where no one is near you for the 2-3 minutes it would take to load up and shoot up. NOT saying A-Rod used, just agreeing with At Home@Wrig here. This guys opinion holds barely more credibility as Jose's.

Third. "He trusted me with everything, and I was with him every day all day long. It would have been impossible to show me everything behind the curtain except for this. He is not that bright to be able to pull that off."

Is it me or did he just say A-Rod isn't that bright of a person? For someone who supposedly washed A-Rods tool in the shower, that wasn't a nice thing to say.

Jose should have quit while he at least appeared to be ahead.Especially when he was correct in some of his accusations.Now he just needs to go away. I hear "The Surreal Life" might want him back.Maybe he can finally hook up with that loon Janice Dickinson...perfect.

I'm no A-Rod fan by any means, but I'll take his word over Canseco any day.

March 27, 2008  08:20 AM ET

He was with him 24 hrs a day??? Really? Did they sleep together too?

March 27, 2008  08:27 AM ET

Canseco is a jealous clown. He's mad about A-Rod's two fat contracts. He needs to come up with some tangible proof or just shut up.

OFF the subject, but knowing this post will get the most attention today....

Is anyone that may comment on this article, a commissioner in the CBS Fantasy Baseball leagues? I have a question but can't seem to find the answer on their webpage or a contact number to call to inquire about my question either. If you are, send me fan mail and I'll explain my dilema there instead of posting it here.

Yeah, but Manny Ramirez is on pace to hit 81 HR's

March 27, 2008  08:46 AM ET

That image of A-Rod and his boyfriend in the stall while Alex drops trou...and a deuce, was a bit to lurid Tribe13

No more than bringing Madonna into this realm of sports talk.

March 27, 2008  08:56 AM ET

Don't you get the feeling that Jose's just a WEE bit jealous of ARod?

March 27, 2008  09:00 AM ET

I think Jose is a WEE bit jealous of every guy in MLB that is, was or will be more popular and more respected than he is.

March 27, 2008  10:36 AM ET

If Manny hits 81HRs then he must be on Steroids, too!!!!!!! :)

Canseco's not allowed to play with the other kids anymore, so he just wants to take his balls and go home. If only he could find them.

March 27, 2008  10:55 AM ET

Its Manny being Manny most of the time but during contract years he's Manny being Money

That's just Manny getting paid.

Canseco said a-rod asked him about roids, stop.
Canseco said he introduced A-Rod to a Roid dealer, stop.
Canseco said he did not identify the Roid dealer as a roid dealer when he introduced him, and was "unsure" if A-Rod knew he was a roids dealer.

This is pretty thin stuff here, and admitedly I am only basing this off of what I have heard and i have not read this book. There is no direct connection, there is no, well there is not much there.

If someone once asked he about where they could buy a gun, and I later introduce them to a gun runner and did not tell them who it was...I could then write a very similiar passage, I am not saying that there is not more there definately, but if there was more i think Canseco would have published it, he is trying to sell books.
