Thankfully a non-Yankee testing positive.

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.

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

MedicCook · 05-07-2009, 10:13 AM

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.

is there a list?

BigBruce · 05-07-2009, 10:16 AM

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

hotreds · 05-07-2009, 10:17 AM

Pathetic!

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!" "

Schadenfreude just kicked in

05-07-2009, 10:43 AM

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

- 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.

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."
