Got to look at Big Papi too. He’s got a huge upper body. Not normal looking

And I simply cannot wait until Jeter or Posada takes one in the back as payback for Chambermaid’s immature antics....

Why go after them when A-Rod's in the lineup?

“50 game suspension starting now will put Manny back in the game right around the All Star break.”

July 3

He'll need a new nickname. May I suggest "Hair-roids"... Better that "Bitchtits" for ARod...

A 50 game suspension starting now will put Manny back in the game right around the All Star break.

He'll just see it as another off season.

Man-Ram should not have got the 2004 WS MVP either - Keith Folke deserved it, no question!

Amen!

Funny how Papi can’t hit anymore. Could he be an ex steroid abuser?

whaddya bet Scott Boros is up to his elbows in this? He was desperately trying to pump-up Manny’s free agent value this past spring and summer.

I think you should read this about the Chambermaid and the Yankees:

Yankees need to pick a fight with Sox to take back rivalry

“The suspension will cost Ramirez $7.7 million, or roughly 31% of his $25-million salary. Players in violation of baseball’s drug policy are not paid during suspensions”

How’s that for incentive ?
Although I don’t think Manny has ever known what to do with 20-25 million/ year anyway. There were stories from Boston he had uncashed checks laying all over his condo.

Now we know why the L.A. Druggers were doing so well. Back to reality now. Manny Being Moron.

(Parody—Al Jolson’s “Mammy):
Manny! How we hate ya, how we hate ya,
Go bleep off Manny!
So you’ve been ta-king drugs,
They’re gonna ground...you...
For two months, get lost you loser...

“Clean cut pot smoker and steroid abuser?”

You're real big about smearing people BEFORE the facts are out...FYI, the drug was prescribed by his doctor and WAS NOT steroids...but lets not let the facts get in the way of your libelous posts.

I'll be waiting for your apology & recantation...
but I won't be holding my breath.

Gee, I guess it’s time for another Congressional investigation - right after they fix the College BCS format.

The MLB should reduce the players that test positive to rookie pay. That would be a good incentive to stay clean!!

Nah. MLB should have a separate steroid league with bigger field dimensions.
