Could not have happened to a better person.
The guy is a turd,him and Boras shot their way out of Boston with fake injury's and throwing a 67 year old travailing secretary to the ground.
Every year Dana Farber cancer hospital brings a lot of kids to spring training to meet the players, in eight years he is the only red sox that would not go over and spend a few minutes just to say hello.

He is going to lose over $7M also since during a PED suspension the player does not get paid.
Manny is saying he testeed positive from a drug his doctor is giving him.

And to quote Robin Williams on this subject "Marijuana enhances many things, colors, flavors, sensations, but you are certainly not ****ing empowered. When you're stoned, you're lucky if you can find your own goddamn feet. The only way it's a performance-enhancing drug is if there's a big ****ing Hershey bar at the end of the run. Then you'll be like a Swiss ski jumper going, "I'm there!" "

If baseball didn't have this kind of thing to talk about what would they talk about? :hm

- 4hr pitching duels
- The first base stare down
- Long fly balls
- Foul balls
- The grounder
- Shading him slightly left
- The pitch selection
- Wild pitch
- Infield pop up
- Meetings at the mound

I'm really trying to understand the excitement of this game.

Please help. :al

What about OBP????

"And at the plate we have Jack Hoffman.....
Jack sure knows how to take a pitch......
Ohhhhh, there's ball one... did you see the way he just watched that one go by??
Amazing, what technique."

The day would last longer, and these guys would have a lot more fun. Another reason why hockey isn't a sport is that it's not played with a ball. Anything not played with a ball can't be a sport. These are my rules, I make 'em up.

If you don't like baseball, don't post in baseball thread. I don't like hockey or soccer, but you don't see me jumping into their discussions making jokes about how boring they are and demanding explanations why people like them.

EDIT: On topic, about Manny, not surprised. I will admit I did take some glee reminding some friends what a big part that juicing cheater was to 2 Boston WS wins.

Not sure where a demand was made.

I looked at it as having a different opinion like with cigars. Some like a certain Marca or what have you and some don't. People are allowed to voice their opinion either way.

To Smitty and all baseball fans I might have offended please accept my public apology. No harm was intended.

The jokes about the boring aspects of the game? What sport doesn't have certain elements about it that are mundane? How about focusing on the fun aspects of the game. Home runs are exciting. Stolen bases are exciting. Strike outs are exciting. Clutch hitting is exciting. Clutch pitching is exciting. The rivalries are exciting. I could go on and on and on, but I think that answers your question.

I despise Manny for dogging his way out of Boston but it seems here that his problem was not taking the list of proscribed drugs to his doctor and not running the prescription he was given by MLB. This would have generated a therapeutic use exemption which would have prevented this situation. Hope that other players learn from what happened to Manny. And Smitty, you have a monster sack calling anyone from Boston a cheater after the Yankees' history.

ESPN just reported that Manny tested positive for HCG which is a female fertility drug used to restart testosterone production in men after a steroid cycle. This would really surprise me if true.
