Why did Rangers fans give Cruz a huge ovation last night when he was one of the causes for their collapse?

But yet these are the same fans who call Alex Rodriguez David Ortiz & others who where caught cheaters so go figure. To me everyone who did it is a cheater but there are serious double standards among fans when it comes to that issue.

While the majority of them were thrilled he was back, I'm in the minority. No doubt Cruz was a big bat for us. I'm just glad they didn't bench Rios and put Cruz into RF. After seeing Rios there since August no doubt Cruz could have caused heart problems.

The Oakland A's Colon had a 50 day suspension and he won 18 games for them.

Its a matter of perspective, can he learn from the experience and not do something that stupid again.

I am still looking at Pete Rose and wondering why he is the poster boy for prejudice against a player. Most players who were suspended from baseball usually were fined, stopped from playing for a time or exonerated by now. When you look at the reasons players get suspended now his faux pas was rather mild, betting on his own team. If he had bet against them I would have agreed with the lifetime suspension but he bet on his team to win that is why I think that suspension is stupid.

I don't have the slightest idea why Texas fans were cheering for

Nelson Cruz because he was using steroids---cheating. Aren't

these the same people who were condemning Barry Bonds,

Sammy Sosa and others for the same thing? Texas hypocrites!

What you are saying is true but most baseball fans have short memories when it comes to their own players and many of them believed he was going to be the one ace-in-the-hole needed to lead the team to a victory last night.

The same people who hung Barry Bonds, Texass idiots.

Misguided show of support for a degenerate cheater, similar to the support they gave Hamilton for many years. They're that desperate for a championship.

Its Texas, what else do you expect down there, everything is a double standard.

BECAUSE SOON THAT BUM WILL BE TRADED- RANGERS? CHOKE! GAG
