No More Excuses For Manny Ramirez - No Accident!

ESPN reported earlier that testing showed Ramirez had used hCG, which is typically used by steroid users to restart their bodies' natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO.

With this said, and the unbelievable numbers Manny put up with the Dodgers in a short period at the end of last season, says enough.

For those who want to believe this happened to Manny by accident...wake up! For those who want to believe Manny didn't do it with Boston...WAKE UP!!

No question in my mind, Manny is on the list of the 103 players who tested positive.

We all realize you're obviously a Yankee fan, so if you're looking for a way to diminish what the sox have accomplished you may as well keep reaching. No one will ever know 100% when he was or wasn't using. Maybe he was with the sox, maybe he wasn't. But Manny did not win the two world series as a one man team. We all know Manny has talent. He didn't get to where he is by cheating year in and year out. Hopefully you don't honestly believe that. Who can prove A-rod hasn't been using since he came up to the majors?? A-rod and Manny are now in the same boat. Neither is no less wrong than the other.

Where did he try to diminish what the Red Sox have done? I must be missing it.

I'm not saying anything about the Red Sox or their accomplishments. My comments were directed only at Manny Ramirez.

You're wrong. Arod is in the "I admit I did it boat." Manny is in the "I'm gonna like about it" boat.

Arod's boat is still above water. Manny's boat is sinking....

Sorry, meant "You're wrong. Arod is in the "I admit I did it boat." Manny is in the "I'm gonna lie about it" boat.

Look...you guys have to get off defending your teams. Comments are directed at Manny Ramirez. Not the Red Sox! Not the Dodgers!

Stay focussed and on course.

So you're saying A-rod didn't lie about it?? Arod did lie about it. And later admitted he lied about it. How do you know Ramirez will not do the same? I am still a fan of Manny, always will be. What he has done he now has to live with it. It's a shame when any great player gets busted for this crap. It only hurts the game. I think that's what bothers me the most.

Of course he lied about it before it was proven he did test positive. Who wouldn't. The difference is, when he did get caught because of a positive test, he admitted it. I believe his story was a bunch of bull, but he admitted it. Most likely to protect other players.

Not only did he admit it, he admitted it for an additional 2 years, when he could have easily came out and just said 2003, as proven and accused of.

Look, don't get so defensive. It is what it is. There are more than 100 others who tested positive. There are probably 100 more who did get caught.

This era is a sad era for everyone. If you go back and look at every post or comment I made about Arod, not once did I justify or defend him.

I'm still a fan of Arod. Just not proud of what he did.

Arod only "admitted it" because his back was against the wall. Lets not make him out to be better than the other users. People would also be crazy to think that he stopped when he claimed that he did. Lets not forget Arod did his share of time in the "I'm going to lie about it boat" until the word of the Roberts book came to light. The events of the past year reinforces the idea that NO player can be viewed as being 100% clean.

By saying he used while with the red sox, when there is no facts behind that, is indirectly saying that. If you, or anyone, had facts to prove that then fine. I could live with it. I am not defending the Sox, no need to. Manny doesn't play for us anymore and I'm glad he doesn't.....
