Ten years in the big house keeps me from committing murder too, but that doesn't stop everyone. Same thing here... some people feel they won't get caught.

You want a deterrent? Make it a lifetime ban. I guarantee you that nobody will want to even risk getting caught then.

I just don't really care I guess. Maybe Manny used this drug to finish off a cycle, maybe he's telling the truth. Until MLB starts testing for HGH I'll just keep assuming a majority of guys are using performance enhancing drugs. Manny is just dumb enough to get caught.

At least he isn't turning this into a A-roid or Palmeiro drama. He's getting suspended for 50 games whether he took the stuff on purpose or not. Might as well man up and get it over with. Truthfully it might be a good thing in the end. McBroke will save $8M that can be used to go after a starter at the deadline and it probably makes Manny more likely to exercise his option at the end of the year. With or without Manny the Dodgers win this division easily so losing him for 2 months just isn't a big deal to me.

Plus, the Giants still suck so how bad can it be as a Dodger fan? :)

Welcome back to the thread. Couldn't post about how much the Dodgers suck until something like this happened, i guess?

Furcal, SS

Hudson, 2B

Ethier, RF

Loney, 1B

Martin, C

Kemp, CF

Blake, 3B

Wolf, P

Pierre, LF


Our 4 and 5 hitters have zero home runs. Good idea Torre.

Where exactly did I post that the Dodgers suck? Much like the Kings, I'm a Dodger fan by location and actually like them. I'm just not the "Oh my God, this could be the greatest Dodger team EVER!" type, especially in the middle of May. But I don't care for Manny and haven't for years. So I do take joy in the fact that he failed his piss test. Perhaps he should've studied harder. :drum:

And yes, it hurt to see the Dodgers sweep my Cubs. But at the same time, I was glad it was the Dodgers and not some other team.

I was just thinking exactly this... it is going to be interesting for a while.

Kemp with the SLAM! Niiiiiice...

Opposite field grand slam...

And now Beard hits a triple.
