Manny Ramirez

Recommended Posts

For doing steroids. He is claming medication given to him by his doctor. I know that there is a baseball thread but nobody post in it and I wanted to create this thread so it would get some attention. People come on the site and look and see Baseball thread and go whatever. Dodgers have had a huge start going 13-0 at home and like 21-8 overall. This should have a huge impact on their young developing offense and team. He is going to be out until around July 4th.

Edit.

 

 

This is the greatest day in Yankee history since Aaron Boone hit the walkoff homer off of Wakefield in game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. Manny being Manny just tainted the 2004 and 2007 Red Sox World Series teams.

However, two sources told ESPN's T.J. Quinn and Mark Fainaru-Wada that the drug used by Ramirez is HCG -- human chorionic gonadotropin. HCG is a women's fertility drug typically used by steroid users to restart their body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Bonds, Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO.

Yeah, read between the lines. It was a fertility drug where the main reason a man would use it is because he's cycling off the juice.

 

As far as this tainting the Red Sox 2004 and 07 teams, I don't really think so. If Manny had been caught doing this with Boston, then maybe so. But there's no way of 100% knowing that he was doing this stuff while with the Red Sox. As in maybe he hooked up to some BALCO type group in L.A.

 

Besides, how can a Yankees fan be so thrilled about it tainting the Red Sox, when Roger Clemens was likely doing roids for a couple of World Series winners?

Also, not defending Clemens or anything, but I think a position player who is one of the better hitters of all time and protects the entire lineup day after day has a bit more of an impact than a starting pitcher who pitches once every 4-5 days.
