Just like all of the "John and Kate plus 8" garbage. People love a good train wreck, and the more lives it ruins the more fascinating it is to the masses.

I still can't believe the positive hype Manny is getting. This guy tested positive after the new drug policy was put in place. During! Not before! During!
I just don't get it

I know Arod.
When A-rod's name came out everyone trashed him about taking them, but when Manny is caught it seems like no one really cares. Peter Gammons still thinks he's the greatest hitter ever, what a joke!

Agree! With not even comparing Arod and Manning, it's ridiculous he or anyone else would be praised and getting the positive hype he is getting. He tested positive while the new drug testing system was in place...period! And to top it off, he refuses to discuss it. Originally Posted by yanks12025

If Manny played for Kansas City, Peter Gammons would have never heard of him Originally Posted by yanks12025

It's not "positive publicity. It's ESPN doing its job. Ramirez is a big story and his return from the suspension is why. Had he broken an ankle, you wouldn't see the wall-to-wall coverage. He's coming back in time for the pennant race under a lot of pressure. How he responds from the layoff and deals with the PED issue is a big story and will be for the remainder of his career.

Manny just hit a HR. They did a split screen on tv for his at bat.
Give me a freakin break! It's not like he just came back from an injury.

What's not to get? A high profile player with a highly publicized suspension coming back...what about this does not say "news story". Just like most news stories, the media will beat it to death until another news story comes along (i.e. Steve McNair R.I.P.) and then life will go on as usual. They did the same thing with Arod, Farve, Michael Jackson and will continue to do it for people you either like or don't like. Most of you people have been around long enough to know this is nothing new. Personally, I'm a Dodger fan and I'm sick of it too but it is what it is and just ride it out
...and go Dodgers!!
