Manny Ramirez will be suspended for 50 games after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs, Major League Baseball announced Thursday.

The 12-time All-Star is expected to attribute the test results to medication he received from a physician for a personal health matter, a source close to the situation told The Los Angeles Times.

Ramirez signed a two-year, $45-million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in March. His suspension will begin immediately.

Finally, a big name hit during the season, maybe Baseball is waking up.
 
I'm not surprised, his power numbers and his work ethic weren't exactly compatible.
 
Wasn't he on the Boston team when they won the Super Bowl or something? Should the championship be taken from them since they were obviously cheating with him on the team?

This is awesome. I hope we see a few more of these, so that just maybe baseball can clean itself up.

I've paid money to see a ballgame and watched the man slack in left field right in front of me.

Good riddance.

Long time ago. He has hustled in the field as of the last time I watched him regularly in Boston. Or else you'd have heard more about it.

He was never with Boston. He's always been one of the Utah Dodgers until he was recently suspended from taking part in the NCAA finals. :mrgreen:
 
They should have an entire league where players can use as many performance enhancing drugs as they want. I wager it would be rather entertaining.

I wasn't at the ballpark by myself. Most of those other thousands had paid to watch professional athletes do their best also. An easy out in left could have made the difference in the Red Sox 4-5 loss to the Royals on August Ninth, 2006.

Maybe that is one of the times that prompted his teammates and managers and coaches to get him to hustle more. Two years before the trade to L.A.
 
Manny is a chump. He sucks. He can hit a ball because he takes roids, but he's not a good overall baseball player. They even shoved him in the part of the field they put crappy players and he still can't play the position. Good riddance to bad garbage I say.

Oh OK, thanks, although I thought the a poster here referred to the LA Dodgers. Is the LA Dodgers a subsiderary of the UT Dodgers?

Are you trying to hijack this thread? This isn't about the Red Sox. What proof do you have of the team cheating?

It would appear that you are. Let the mods do their job. If you find humor to be hijacking, take your shenanigans elsewhere.
What don't you take yours, and shove'em, Mr Busybody.

I'm on topic, actually. I have expressed my dismay that my favorite baseball team cannot catch a break. That team happens to be the Dodgers. What have you contributed, besides playing a wannabe moderator? Shoo, fly.

Incorrect, he was with the Red Sox for almost 8 years. :mrgreen:
 
The easiest way to solve this is through mandatory steroid injections.
