Manny Ramirez Suspended

What makes me sick about this is not only the fact that another celebrated hitter has been caught, but the fact that he's losing over $7,000,000 over the course of the 50 games.  People wonder where the bloody economy went wrong, how about starting with professional sports.  Disgusting.

[Ash Bombay]

So the fool waived his right to appeal, and agreed to sit out 2 months, and lose nearly 8 million dollars. He must've known he did some good shit. Why do they have to go after Manny so hard after the Dodgers jumped out with the league best record. Go back to picking on ARod, the fool is in the same boat as Manny imo.

[Niddy]

Oh, another 'Manny being Manny' moment. He has a rep for being lazy, so him not appealing kinda makes sense under those circumstances.

[Rebel Child]

Or maybe he was hoping that the drugs he was taking wouldn't get out into the public eye that he can't get it up.

[Cory]

Whatever...another thing blown out of proportion....he'll get his fine. Move on.

[Ash Bombay]

Basically.

What I don't get is....How are they picking on all these people who have blown up the stats, when everyone in baseball is on the roids? Seriously. Get over it, it's a level playing field.

It's simple if it makes the news and makes people care, the hope is that we will forget all about the economy.

The guy could practically pick and choose when he wanted to hit a homerun or not, amazing.
