ESPNradio just reported that Manny is going to be suspended 50 games for performance enhancing drugs


if you're keeping score, France gave us Burgundy wine, cigarettes, berets, B.O., brie and the Napoleon complex-Bill Simmons

His agent is saying that it is not a steroid, but something his Doctor gave him....and he says that the Doc said it wouldn't violate the policy.

Sounds like there is a lot more that needs to be learned about this.

ESPN is saying that the drug is HCG, which they say is a women's fertility drug, that is often used by steroid abusers that are coming off a steroid cycle and want to stimulate their own natural testosterone production.

ouch

Maybe it helps Manny hit balls that are "up" in the strike zone.
Maybe it helps Manny hit "stiff" liners.
Maybe Manny just takes it "when the moment is right."
Maybe it's just because Manny is in Dodger "blue."
Maybe it helps Manny hit those "hard" to hit pitches.

I'm sorry :oops:

It sounds like Manny might be fibbing, which will probably cost him more in terms of reputation than the drug result itself:

To avoid serious long-term injury, seek medical attention for at-bats lasting longer that 14 pitches. Avoid consumption of pine-tar when taking this product. Men who cannot catch routine fly-balls should not use this product, as a serious case of "over-paid" may result.

Good. I can't stand Manny. An over-inflated ego maniac that needs to cut his ridiculous hair. Good riddance
