Manny gone for 50?

[Hot Lunch]

JuWan Pierre might be the only person that cares about the Dodgers happy about this.

ManRam does not get paid folks. Settle down.

[TripletDaddy]

The only player that I would ever be surprised if it came out that he was using is Greg Maddux.

What about Kent Tekulve? Dude looks all natural to me.

[Hot Lunch]

I'm thinking the Dodgers DO have to still paying him. I really, really doubt there''s any clause in any Manny's contract that gives the team an out if the player is caught using roids.

I am pretty sure it is 50 games without pay.

It is. No player will have a clause that says that they still get paid if they are suspended for using PEDs. That is ridiculous. What team would agree to that? Why do you think the players union is so vigilant about obstructing testing and test results?

What about Kent Tekulve? Dude looks all natural to me.

I don't think he used PEDs, but I'm pretty sure he made a deal with the Prince of Darkness in order to have the skills he had, especially in 1979.

An article about ManRam's suspension

http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-...,6324894.story

The suspension will cost Ramirez $7.7 million, or roughly 31% of his $25-million salary. Players in violation of baseball's drug policy are not paid during suspensions.

Also, look at what The Oracle said about ManRam......love him or hate him, but you can't deny that he is pretty much ALWAYS right. This means that I love Ken Griffey, Jr and his annually inflamed colon.

In an appearance at USC last month, Jose Canseco said Ramirez's name "is most likely, 90%" on a list of 104 players that failed a drug test in 2003. The players were promised anonymity for taking tests in 2003; Rodriguez is the only player that has been identified among that group.

Ramirez laughed when Times columnist Kurt Streeter relayed Canseco's allegation to him.

"I got no comment, nothing to say about that," Ramirez told Streeter. "What can I say? I don't even know the guy."

That shirt is rad.

Here is another shot of the Man Least Likely to have Used Steroids:

The only player that I would ever be surprised if it came out that he was using is Greg Maddux.

How about Tony Gwynn? The tail end of his career occurred during the steroid era.

I'm becoming more cynical all the time, I thought Manny was just a natural. Shame on me.

I think if someone looks at the homerun numbers during the last few years before the steroid era and then looks at players numbers now, I think you can still find a few of the great players that may not be using. In the late 80s, hitting 30 homeruns was a big deal. With the large volume of guys hitting over 30, these guys need to be looked at.

Derek Jeter has never hit over 24 homeruns in a season. He's been remarkably consistent over the years and has only missed more than 30 games in a season once. The introduction of testing has not decreased his performance or time out on the field. I haven't yet reached a point where I think someone with Jeter's numbers is taking roids.

I don't think that a player like Jeter is using roids, it just wouldn't surprise me if he was using.

[RC Vikings]

How about Jr? I'm ready to call him the greatest player of this generation.

[The_Tick]

The only player that I would ever be surprised if it came out that he was using is Greg Maddux.

3 players I think you will never see on the PED list:

1. Greg Maddux
2. Jamie Moyer
3. Tim Wakefield

It's good he's not getting paid. Giambi didn't have a steroids clause in his contract, in fact I think the mention of steroids was explicitly taken out. Of course, that contract was signed back in 2001 and not 2009.

BTW, has Canseco ever been wrong on the steroid accusations? He really is an oracle.
