This is what ESPN is reporting right now. This could be a huge hit to baseball and the Dodgers.

So who's left that has had big numbers that hasn't been busted yet: Griffey, Thomas, Thome...who else?
Great news for my fantasy team as I have Juan Pierre!!
Is this considered Manny being Manny?
BTW- I'd rather hear Grande say: "Get em on, get em over, get em in, " 100 times, than hear that Manny phrase again.
Manny's claiming he was taking medicine from his personal doctor for personal issues, and he was assured that these drugs weren't going to show up on the banned list. Either its an oversight or Manny's lying through this teeth. What do you believe?

Wow. Wooooow.
“The crows seem to be calling my name,” thought Caw.
Did I just hear that right?? Manny will lose $7.7 mil in salary during this suspension? HOLY COW. Not that I feel bad for him, but during a 50 game span he was gonna get paid more than some people's multi year deals are worth?

Say it aint so Manny.
I actually believe Manny's story, but if its on a drug on that list it is still his job to make sure it doesn't go in his body. I don't think Manny will be seeing that doctor again though.
I'm curious as to which banned substance he was taking. Other than that, I really don't care. But the Dodgers are going to have some big money to pick up a contract should they choose to do that.
I'm just mad this ruined the Terrelle Pryor edition of sportscenter.
Wait, I'm confused. Manny tested positive and gets suspended 50 games so why isn't A-Rod suspended? Didn't he test positive also?
