Manny Ramirez suspended 50 games..
- Thread starter gringodawg
- Start date
I don't know if there are any allstars that aren't on roids. Basically every star from the 90s till now seem to be on roids.
just that he tested for a banned substance.....it could be ephedra or steroids or someother type of PED (or what MLB defines as a PED).....still trying to understand how ephedra could be a PED....gringodawg said:
500 HR + 3000 hits + 3 Gold Gloves will make him almost impossible to keep out eventually, being such a complete all-around player.
Why is it so hard to believe? hell canseco came out a few weeks ago and said he was 90% sure manny's name was on that list as wellHooston728 said:
Got my dodger blue blinders on I guess. Maybe Im just being naive but I thought that Manny was one of the only good, pure hitters in the game. This obviously proves otherwise, but Im sure Manny and Boras got the damage control on overdrive and spin this so at least the dodger fans dont think too much less of Manny. Maybe it is not as bad as at seems. It's always good to wait for more info to come out before passing judgement. Knee jerk reaction when you here steroids is always bad so lets just give it time.
Mark McGwire, I'd say no. Big Mac has only gotten something like 27% of the vote, and you need 75% of the vote to get in.
I expect similar results for Bonds, Clemens, Palmeiro, Sosa, A-Rod and I guess maybe Manny.
In my opinion, the players should be judged on how they performed in their era. You wouldn't compare Honus Wagner to Babe Ruth. And you wouldn't compare Babe Ruth to A-Rod.
I think the sports writers- who are the people that vote on the Hall of Fame- are placing way too much emphasis on how much these drugs "enhance" performance. You still have to be able to have the reflexes and vision and skill to hit the ball, or in the case of a pitcher locate the ball.

I just traded for Manny last week and my lineup was looking potent with Cabrera, Braun, and Ramirez.
They were saying on MLB radio today that it was a women's futility drug used as a masking agent for steroids
after a steroid cycle.........Therefore, he's either a cross dresser or he's been on the juice......It's hard to tell with Manny but I'm betting it's a result of the ROIDS...
He still the same size as always, and his wife said if she found out he was using that stuff she would kill him. As dedicated as he his to her and her kids, I tend to believe he really is one of the good guys.

but I don't trust anyone. I'm a little suspicious of everyone. Even Cal Ripken, Jr. Nothing would shock me at this point. Especially since Pujols was on the cover of SI with the words "Believe in Me" under it. That seems to be the kiss of death.
A-Rod, do you use steroids? No. I remember that now infamous interview.
