NEW YORK (AP) - Manny Ramirez has been suspended for 50 games by
Major League Baseball, becoming by far the highest-profile player
ensnared in the sport's drug scandals.
The commissioner's office didn't announce the specific violation
by the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder, who will lose about
one-third of his $25 million salary.

You think he would have busted out sooner form all the THC in the dreadlock hair weaves. Bound to have showed up sooner or later. With all the money they make and the press on this issue, for Manny or his Doctor not to know and clear it first? Not only do I not buy what he is saying, I find it an insult. If you or your game is a little off, Use the 3 B’s of baseball. It has always worked and is legal. Booze, Broads and Bacon cheeseburgers.  Man I love this game

Oh no! Now he’s only going to make just shy of $17 MILLION this year!

I wish I got paid $17 million to use drugs and sit at home.

Heck, after taxes, I’d give at least $16 million of it to charitable causes….Cuz even with a million, I’d be happy sitting at home using drugs. smile
