Manny being Manny, suspended 50 games for PEDs

[MedicCook]

They just reported on ESPN radio that Manny Ramirez tested positive for PEDs and has been suspended for 50 games.

[elderboy02]

:r What a cheating piece of scum

Ha ha Dodgers! Way to waste your money. :r

[Queen James]

Oops, you think they would learn from those previously punished. Just my :2

[MedicCook]

Thankfully a non-Yankee testing positive.

[MedicCook]

ESPN.com has the story up now.

[Bruins Fan]

Could not have happened to a better person.
The guy is a turd,him and Boras shot their way out of Boston with fake injury's and throwing a 67 year old travailing secretary to the ground.
Every year Dana Farber cancer hospital brings a lot of kids to spring training to meet the players, in eight years he is the only red sox that would not go over and spend a few minutes just to say hello.

[yourchoice]

Doesn't surprise me one bit....check that...surprises me that he got caught.

[MedicCook]

He is going to lose over $7M also since during a PED suspension the player does not get paid.
Manny is saying he testeed positive from a drug his doctor is giving him.

[Genetic Defect]

is there a list?

[BigBruce]

You would think making millions a year would make you not want to mess up.

[hotreds]

Pathetic!

[DougBushBC]

And to quote Robin Williams on this subject "Marijuana enhances many things, colors, flavors, sensations, but you are certainly not ****ing empowered. When you're stoned, you're lucky if you can find your own goddamn feet. The only way it's a performance-enhancing drug is if there's a big ****ing Hershey bar at the end of the run. Then you'll be like a Swiss ski jumper going, "I'm there!" "

[massphatness]

And Red Sox Nation snickers ...

Schadenfreude just kicked in

[ahc4353]

If baseball didn't have this kind of thing to talk about what would they talk about? :hm

- 4hr pitching duels
- The first base stare down
- Long fly balls
- Foul balls
- The grounder
- Shading him slightly left
- The pitch selection
- Wild pitch
- Infield pop up
- Meetings at the mound

I'm really trying to understand the excitement of this game.

Please help. :al

[St. Lou Stu]

What about OBP????

"And at the plate we have Jack Hoffman.....
Jack sure knows how to take a pitch......
Ohhhhh, there's ball one... did you see the way he just watched that one go by??
Amazing, what technique."

Hockey comes to mind. People think hockey is a sport. It's not. Hockey is three activities taking place at the same time: ice skating, fooling around with a puck, and beating the **** out of somebody. If these guys had more brains then teeth, they'd do these things one at a time. First go ice-skating, then fool around with a puck, then you go to the bar and beat the **** out of somebody. The day would last longer, and these guys would have a lot more fun. Another reason why hockey isn't a sport is that it's not played with a ball. Anything not played with a ball can't be a sport. These are my rules, I make 'em up.:tu

And where in there did you answer my question? :confused:

[ashmaster]

Manny's a friggin scumbag.

[WildBlueSooner]

MLB going further down the shitter!

[Genetic Defect]

MLB is getting closer to home :wo

If you don't like baseball, don't post in baseball thread. I don't like hockey or soccer, but you don't see me jumping into their discussions making jokes about how boring they are and demanding explanations why people like them.

:tu

EDIT: On topic, about Manny, not surprised. I will admit I did take some glee reminding some friends what a big part that juicing cheater was to 2 Boston WS wins.

[Genetic Defect]

for the record I currently use PEDS

I'm shocked Perry. Why on earth would you feel compelled to use PEDs (http://www.peds.com/)?

Not sure where a demand was made.

I looked at it as having a different opinion like with cigars. Some like a certain Marca or what have you and some don't. People are allowed to voice their opinion either way.

To Smitty and all baseball fans I might have offended please accept my public apology. No harm was intended.

The jokes about the boring aspects of the game? What sport doesn't have certain elements about it that are mundane? How about focusing on the fun aspects of the game. Home runs are exciting. Stolen bases are exciting. Strike outs are exciting. Clutch hitting is exciting. Clutch pitching is exciting. The rivalries are exciting. I could go on and on and on, but I think that answers your question.

Nuances brother. It's all about the nuances.

[Mugen910]

I can recall last year on another thread where a Red Sox fan was telling a Dodger fan that they'll get fed up with his chit sooner than they think :D

[mmblz]

that's how i feel about hockey ;)

that's how i feel about baseball, hockey, soccer, and basketball!

I'm sure we'd be apologizing too if this thread was about hockey and we all lived in Canada. :r

[mosesbotbol]

My guess is he tested positive for HGH

[DougBushBC]

George Carlin FTW. :r

God rest his soul. That is if he ever made it up there. I think he would want to be in hell, yelling obscene things at all the slouches walking around down there.

[Genetic Defect]

My guess is he tested positive for HGH

Will we ever find out?

[taltos]

I despise Manny for dogging his way out of Boston but it seems here that his problem was not taking the list of proscribed drugs to his doctor and not running the prescription he was given by MLB. This would have generated a therapeutic use exemption which would have prevented this situation. Hope that other players learn from what happened to Manny. And Smitty, you have a monster sack calling anyone from Boston a cheater after the Yankees' history.

I have a mini sac, but agree with Smitty ;)

[borndead1]

They should create a special league in which EVERY player is juiced up. That would be damn entertaining. :al

[taltos]

ESPN just reported that Manny tested positive for HCG which is a female fertility drug used to restart testosterone production in men after a steroid cycle. This would really surprise me if true.

[VirtualSmitty]

:D I wonder what Red Sox fans would be saying if the roles were reversed and the Yankees had won two world series with A-Roid? :hm

Brewers drug free

[KidRock]

Tigers are Drug Free

[mhailey]

Rockies are drug free, but we get high on altitude. And that cheating, lying sack of crap help steal the world series from us.

Oh, wait, we got swept.:lv

Matt

[elderboy02]

Reds are drug free.

Maybe nobody has been caught yet, but I doubt any of the 32 teams are drug free. Even the Nats.:fu

[SeanGAR]

Just because your team sucks does not mean they're drug free.

Now the Expos ... they're drug free.

Go EXPOS ....:tu

[mhailey]

Maybe nobody has been caught yet, but I doubt any of the 32 teams are drug free. Even the Nats.:fu

Innocent until proven guilty. I will hold to my deliusion that the Rocks are drug free, and if some one tests positive, then it was rigged test.

the rest of the teams, at least the ones we lose to, clearly dope. :D

Matt

[VirtualSmitty]

How many did you guys win with Roger and Giambi?

None with Giambi, two with Roger. How many did Boston win without Manny?

[Tio Gato]

Radio sports talk in Boston has people speculating that Manny's dreads are long to cover up his massive 'roid head and the baggy uniform to cover up weight gain.
I speculate that both are to cover up that he's all A-Hole from the neck down. (No, not A-Rod, A-Hole!)
This guy has been a pox on baseball for a long time. "Manny being Manny" is a polite way to say he's a jerk.

'Yaz did it on cabbage and kielbasa, I'd cringe every time I saw Manny clowning around on the same hallowed ground. Good ridden to bad garbage. :fu2 to you Manny.

[Genetic Defect]

True, if any players drinks coffee he is using PEDs

[ucla695]

Man, just when I thought they were getting things going. :bh

[dunng]

Darn...

[chippewastud79]

My guess is he tested positive for HGH
There is no reliable test for HGH and the best one they have is a blood test and no Union in professional sports will ever agree to a blood test ;)
They should create a special league in which EVERY player is juiced up. That would be damn entertaining.
They do, its called Major League Baseball:tu
Maybe nobody has been caught yet, but I doubt any of the 32 teams are drug free. Even the Nats.:fu
I will almost guaruntee that there isn't a drug free team in the league, and certainly there isn't a team in the league who doesn't have atleast one guy who has used them at some point. :2

[kelmac07]

Manny is fourth in NL Outfielder voting for the All Star Game...how wrong is that?
