I just have to say that I appreciate Jez editors linking to Deadspin instead of a crosspost. Deadspin plus Jezebel tends to be a really nasty combination.
Oh, balls. He was the only reason I went to Dodgers games. And they've been so amazing this season! Now I shall drive past the eight billion gigantic billboards of him in downtown LA and sigh wistfully.
Dear Scott Boras- You manage the two highest paid players in Baseball. Both of whom have been caught taking PE drugs. This suspension will cost Manny 7.7 million, roughly 31% of his annual salary. Will your commission be taking a hit?
Also, all the way from fenway park to those fools at Dodger Stadium: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Joe, you should have known better!
@sillylittlelawgirl: I'm not sure Joe had much say in the matter. The Dodgers needed a bat and Boston was more than willing to part with him at that point.
As to Bor-ass, let's hope this takes him down many pegs, and that MLB teams stop catering to him. His clients spend an awful lot of time generating negative publicity.
at least he doesn't have that hair anymore. i'm sorry, dreads are awesome and all, but not on him, and not under that hat, and oh man i'm getting grossed out just thinking about all that stupid hair.
Okay, so I'm not serious baseball watcher or fan. But I do occasionally go to games/watch with friends. And because I didn't grow up in a city with a team I feel as though I have free license to hate/love any team I wish based on any reason I like.
Example: I prefer teams from cities that I think are probably shitty places to be.
Thank you, Manny Ramirez, for making my day. While I wished you no particular ill will after you left Boston, I am glad you finally are getting called up on the carpet for something and cannot wait to hear the "Manny being Manny" explanation.
@Spaceman Bill Leah: Well, I did wish him ill will, after he up and quit on the Sox in the middle of the season. I for one got tired of "Manny being Manny" and I'm pretty sure Papelbon assessment of him as a "cancer" was not far off the mark. We'll see just how good a manager Joe Torre is now.
@NefariousNewt: I was more happy just to see him gone but I agree with you on the second part, the MbM stuff was and always has been utter b.s. which is why I cannot wait to hear it this time.
@Spaceman Bill Leah: He's blaming it on his doctor and well, his own stupidity for not knowing what drugs are allowed or not. At least he's not going to challenge the decision.
@Laines: THat is the excuse they ALL use. Not shocked. The doctor must be a dumbass too if he didn't know there were PEDs in something he was prescribing to a known MLB player.
He's never seemed like the brightest bulb. I might actually believe him if he claimed that he was taking "vitamins" that is trainer gave him. But yeah, as a Red Sox fan I can only chortle.

Let's see... 4-game series at the end of this month, fabulous! Woohoo! But he should be back in time for the series in LA in August. Damn!
