LOL DODGERS!
I got the alert about the story from Tony Reali’s Around the Horn Twitter, since I don’t read the LA Times. Reali was really quick on the draw.

I wonder how this will effect his contract? Can the Dodgers terminate it now? Or will he cash in his option year?

I’m not sure. Generally a failed drugs test could lead to possible termination but i’m not sure in this case whether they’d take that option or not.

Yeah, I was just wondering because if Manny thinks his value would be super low on the market next year (I guess it’s possible, but I don’t know) he might be inclined to take the option.

This might be the good, parallel universe whereby the idiotic trading of Fred McGriff to the Braves in ‘93 is offset by today’s joyous news.

So what will the next Bill Simmons article be?
“I saw this news and was utterly stunned. Boston sports will never be the same.”
or will it be
“I couldn’t believe the news. This is Manny! The greatest Boston athlete ever!”
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.

he’ll be crushed.
He’s mused over what would happen if Manny appeared on this list before.
Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.

He’ll really be crushed when Papi gets caught, too. The non A-Rod positive tests from 2003 still haven’t been announced yet. Ortiz sure looks like he’s going through withdrawals from something this season (0 HRs).

He’s already pretty certain that Papi was a PED user.
He’s been musing about it on his podcast for some time.

Manny quote
Via ESPN
“Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me,” Ramirez said. “Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now.”
You’d think by now players would check if a substance is banned before blindly accepting them from trainers/physicians.

Right.
because it’s so hard to get a list of banned substances to give to a doctor and say “don’t give me anything with this stuff in it”

Oh, they still will. Padres fans have the O.R. (Original Roider) Ken Caminiti and they still talk shit. Nothing more irritating than a guy wearing a Caminiti shirt calling Barry a disgrace to the game.

I’ve witnessed this first hand. Some stupid asshole in a Padres shirt once said “Barry doez ROIDZ!!!!1” to me as I was crossing the street to the ballpark before a game. I said, “So did Ken Caminiti.” Then he said, “yeah well Giants suck!” He had me on that one. Padres fans are notoriously asinine about the PED issue.
