For those on my ping list I'll try to do better by you. It's just that Manny is such an incredible jackass I couldn't resist.

If you would like to be on the ping list let me know.
This will be a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.
That’s one of the nice things about being a Tiger fan. Seems to be very few scandals to come out of that club.
I’m guessing the Tigers will win their division too...unless the Twins go on one of their odd cyclical tears.
thanks for posting
I can hear it now
Manny is up to bat and the crowd starts
“Doh-Per Doh-per Doh-per”
Manny is in for it for the rest of the season, for sure.
They have a series against the Twins starting tonight and they’re usually a team the Tigers struggle with. That said, the Tigers often struggle with the White Sox but have pretty much manhandled them this year even in Chicago.
Nahhh, don't worry about it ... unfortunately the steroid thing is currently part of baseball lore, not your fault. Keep the pings going, I enjoy reading them even if I don't comment in the thread.
Otherwise, for some useless satire of my Yankee Stadium pals, check this out:
Rejected Yankee Stadium Memories #1 - Red Sox
Enjoy :)

You shortened my excerpt. Would you all prefer I keep AP excepted stories well below 300 words or did I fail to click the “excerpt” button?
excepted = excerpted
“Man-Needle-Man-Needle-Man-Needle”
His entire ‘suspension’ has been a spectacle. My thoughts on it would be to have suspended him the last 50 games of the season.
Yeah, he'll be hearing it at the road games, but if anyone can shrug off the jeers, it's Manny. Saw him play a number of times in Cleveland, and the man was just born to swing a baseball bat.
Sigh, yes. And he is so very good at it....
