Dodgers lost 11-9 to one of the worst teams in MLB, the Wash Nationals

The best and brightest neighborhood in the Los Angeles sports landscape is a very different place today.
Mannywood has officially gone to hell.
The giddy streets are lined in shadows. The colorful houses are painted in lies. The friendly shops are stocked with juice.
The mayor is a drug cheat.
Manny Ramirez dropped a bomb on Mannywood on Thursday, leveling the Dodgers' spirit, stripping the Dodgers' psyche, and blowing up the Dodgers' safe.
He has been suspended for 50 games after testing positive for a banned substance, but it could be 500 games for all I care.
"You have to remember, there's still a human being behind this thing," said Manager Joe Torre.
Yeah, a selfish knucklehead of a human being who can no longer be trusted.
The Dodgers can't build their team on fakery. They can't march to a championship behind a charlatan. They can't fall for his act again.
I would love for them to release him at the end of the suspension, but the major league drug agreement prevents them from exacting further punishment.
I would love for them to release him at the end of the season, but that would cost them $20 million, and no owner could consider that worth it.
The Dodgers can't trash him, so they must try to recycle him.

his testosterone level was low, yaknow. so he took the HGH.
po’ baseball players, no test-o.. no dames-o
From Gerry Callahan in the Boston Herald:
>>A few days after signing a $45 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers and promising to bring joy and happiness to their clubhouse, Manny apparently handed in a suspicious urine sample.
>>Surprise, surprise. Manny was, Manny is, that stupid.

And Manny, get rid of the f***n dread locks before you come back, will ya.
Maybe the dreads make him feel pretty.
When manny "quit" on the Red Sox and his teammates last year in order to force that trade, some baseball writers (some non-sox writers) said Bud Selig should suspend him for "making a mockery of the game".
Does anybody see this as a sort of poetic justice? Kind of like the baseball gods meting out just punishment.
Another ROID jerk like A-Roid, Bonds, Tiger, Lance, Giambi, Conseco, et al.
As much as I wanted to see Sheffield hit number 500 with the Tigers I was happy to see him go before the start of the regular season.
It is good to see that Congress isn’t involved in this.
Oh barf... talk about drinking the Manny Kool-Aid. Meanwhile, good guy Jason Bay had another big night at Fenway last night. :o)
Manny who?
Tiger? Did I miss something?
Rameriz took human chorionic gonadotropin, a drug normally used by women to boost fertility. It’s also used by body builders and other steroid freaks to boost testosterone after a cycle.
The fact that the testosterone effect is indirect lead Manny to believe he could cheat and not get caught. He’s no doubt been cheating most of his career.
Trow da bum out!!! He’s a total disgrace. No more slimy dreads would be a gift to us all!

TIGER? Unless you have proof, you should retract that.
