Alex Rodriguez Press Conference (live blogging)

Sorry that it is a bit late, but here is my live blog of the Alex Rodriguez press conference

Update 2:00 pm- That was a question a lot of people would ask steroid users; everyone linked to steroids should be asked that.

Update 2:01 pm- Again, another interesting question. Coming to NY would certainly add pressure, but he stopped because they (the league) initiated a steroid policy

Update 2:03 pm- Apparently Alex believes in the 'placebo affect' with his water example.

Update 2:03 pm- It seems like Rodriguez has been dodging bullets. He has said "it is not up for me to determine" a few times now.

Update 2:06 pm- Ever since his interview with Gammons, A-Rod has been trying to tell children across the globe to not take steroids. Yes, he's trying to be an inspiration, but it is as if he wants to avoid some of the bigger questions.

Update 2:08 pm- He said he was unaware that they were steroids, a little bit like Barry Bonds (unknowingly took them)...

Update 2:09 pm- Very good question, asking about "why not do some research about the substances."

Update 2:09 pm- Mark Feinsand asked another great question regarding the homerun record.

Update 2:10 pm- Hannah Storm asked a great question about HGH and amphetamines. A-Rod denied HGH but did not fully deny amphetamine use.

Update 2:11 pm- "It will be the best season of our lives." - Alex Rodriguez

Update 2:15 pm- I'm glad I take Spanish in school, but the other reporters must be baffled by what she asked.

Update 2:18 pm- Joel Sherman questioned Alex's knowledge about the drug and his reasoning for his use; another great question

Update 2:19 pm- Alex (again) blames his young age and being naive about the situation for taking it and then stopping.

Update 2:25 pm- Another "that's not for me to decide" response to a question by Rodriguez...

Update 2:27 pm- Looks like A-Rod's portion of the news conference is finished. Time for Girardi and Cashman.

Overall, A-Rod's answers were a bit disappointing. He dodged a lot of questions and did not answer some of them to the fullest. He did not tell the "complete truth" on some of them by saying "I haven't given much thought about it" or "that's not up for me to decide."
