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.

Doesn't surprise me one bit....check that...surprises me that he got caught.

You would think making millions a year would make you not want to mess up.

Oops, you think they would learn from those previously punished. Just my

Thankfully a non-Yankee testing positive.

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.

[Genetic Defect]

is there a list?

Pathetic!

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!" "

And Red Sox Nation snickers ...

Schadenfreude just kicked in

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

- 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.

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.
