Manny Ramirez Suspended - 50 Games!

[nobrakes00]

This is truly a sad day for Dodger's fans. He tested positive for the "banned" substance HCG, which is a female fertility drug, but otherwise known to be taken by dopers when coming off a steroid cycle. Arrghh... I'm so bummed with this generation of ball players.

He's just Manny being a cheating douche bag.

 

Either let them all do it freely or kick them out forever the first time they get busted. Pick one, STFU. <--Not you, MLB

[Zembonez]

Only positive to come from this is the fact that others MIGHT think twice before doing the same to avoid the punishment hammer..

FINALLY someone in their prime (or close to it) gets suspended. When Palmiero got suspended a few years back, it didn't matter, since he was already old and washed up, and he's the biggest name I can remember getting caught red-handed (not after the fact).

 

This shit will stop eventually. Or they'll just find more ways to mask it.

I can't believe anyone would still be stupid enough to knowingly take a banned substance in MLB today. They all know they will be tested and with all the public scrutiny today I don't understand why they'd risk it. Now with just one failed drug test, all of his stats are questionable just as A-Rod, Bonds, McGuire, Sosa and all the others. That being said, I don't think it will hurt LA all that much with a big lead in the division and Manny coming back rested in early July.

Because.

Even as a lifelong Yankees fan, they spend entirely too much money.

Right, and that's part of what I meant. He is the second highest-paid player in baseball, and now he loses $7 million because of a banned substance.

But without them he'd probably only make $7 mil all season long.

 

When he gets back (just the remainder of the season) he'll have about $15 mil that he'll still make this year.

Ooh, it just "pains" me to see Jason Schmidt on that list; making ~$15 mil/yr and has been absolutely useless the past three years!

What a dumb ass.

The players and MLB won't stop cheating until the fans stop attending the games. Most of the fans are so stupid they don't about half the shit the teams pull. I can remember the last players strike, once over the fans flocked back like mindless lemmings.
