Manny Ramirez will be suspended for 50 games for a positive PED test.
I guess PED's don't improve your attitude?
This recent test makes one wonder how much the RedSox knew before trading away ManRam in the 11th hour last July. ManRam has always been one of the best hitters in baseball, tearing it up last season for the Dodgers with an aubsurdly high OBP of .489 and an OPS of 1.232 and an obscene 53 RBIs in 53 games.
This will unfortunately taint ManRam's record as a player, as he would have been a first ballot hall of famer without a doubt. This news comes at a good time for the Dodgers, though. The NL West is a weaker division, and the Dodgers have been untouchable at home and have a 6.5 game lead above the second-place Giants. (For the record, the next largest lead a first place team has is 2 games, held by the Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Royals.) This will put a return for ManRam sometime in late June to early July. He will in all liklihood miss the All Star game for the first time since 1997.
