Hopefully the next positive test comes from one A. Pujols of St. Louis.

Ho-hum.... why does anybody think M. Ramirez cares? He will be back hitting clean-up at Dodger Stadium by August and the Dodger will continue to lead the NL West until then.

All this means is that M. Ramirez will get a much wanted 50 day vacation.

I think I believe Manny, when he says it was from a doctor. I'm also waiting for Albert to test positive, I think he was lying to SI when he said he has never done it.

I can't wait to hear agent Scott Bora$ weasel his way out of this one...He's the idiot who was hoping to get Manny $100 million this offseason, but ending up settling for $45 million over 2 years. :oops: Besides, any idea how the James Garner/Joe Pesci-looking Joe Torre will compensate for Manny's indefinite loss?

(yawn) Wow, I'm shocked. (yawn) I can't believe another of the top players (yawn) during the steroid era was caught using steroids (yawn). My baseball (yawn) world has been turned upside down once again (yawn).

...... Further validating what a crap franchise that is residing on the city's South Side. They kicked the best player of all-time out the door before he was ready to say goodbye.

F. Thomas' mouth may have run amuck on an occasion or two but J. Reinsdorf is too dumb to realize that F. Thomas was the only reason to watch his team during a time period when they stunk. When things got good, F. Thomas was disgracefully exiled to Oakland.

No room for C. Fisk or F. Thomas but the acquisitions of R. Alomar, C. Everett, K. Griffey, Jr, S. Alomar, Jr., E. Loaiza and J. Conseco are a-okay with J. Reinsdorf.

That knucklehead should've moved the franchise to St. Petersberg, FL when he had the chance.

I passionately agree with you in regards to Reinsdork threatening to move the Sox to Florida if the state of Illinois wouldn't concede to his demands for a new stadium. I'm not sure if a lot of people have forgotten his threat, but I have never forgiven Reinsdork. And the stadium he did build was atheistically awful when stadiums such as Camden Yards and Jacobs Field were being built during the same period. And I won't even mention his leadership preceding the 1994 lockout when the Sox had an excellent team and the World Series was taken away.

However, Frank Thomas was a tool...let's not forget that either. And thank god Ozzie had the balls to tell him to go to hell. Thomas was a talented hitter who threw like a girl and was also a selfish egotistical prick.

I wonder if this is another death nail for baseball. In my opinoin, Manny was a guy that you said maybe on roids, but probably not, now this comes out, you would have to say that you can't say anybody is clean.

Bud Selig can say he doesn't want to be known for allowing Steroids, well he is, and if he was smart he would start yelling to test everybody today, whatever test you have to, blood, hair, or whatever. He won't and baseball will start to lose more fans.

I love a good religous debate, and I remember the threats. But, Comiskey was a dump, the fans weren't supporting the bad product he had on the field, the Sox had none of the luster of the mid/late 80's feelgood that were the Cubbies, and taa daa, it was a for profit business looking to move on to greener pastures and a big windfall whether here or in Fla.. Next.

But really, enough with the bs discussions about stadia (or its kid sister - attendance figures) who still gives a f***. As to the 'excellent' team they had in '94, wrong. It was a good team starting to show serious cracks under the pressure of a better Cleveland Indians team. I have few doubts that Cleveland was setting up to become the '69 Cubs version of the Amazin' Mets, and yes, I admit that I couldn't say that without pain....until 2005.

Pretty sure you mean "nell". But maybe not....
