God rest his soul. That is if he ever made it up there. I think he would want to be in hell, yelling obscene things at all the slouches walking around down there.

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.

I have a mini sac, but agree with Smitty

They should create a special league in which EVERY player is juiced up. That would be damn entertaining.

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.

I wonder what Red Sox fans would be saying if the roles were reversed and the Yankees had won two world series with A-Roid?

None with Giambi, two with Roger. How many did Boston win without Manny?
