Add Manny to the List

As many of you already know Manny Ramirez has been suspended for 50 games for Testing positive for a performance enhancer. Once again a power hitter that at least i was hoping was clean is not. According to Manny he got the prescribition from a doctor which had something in it that triggered a positive test. As much as you want to believe him can you? We believed Rafael Palmeiro when he shook his finger at congress, we believed A-Rod when he said he never used and we all know how those two scernios played out. Unfortunatley i dont think we will ever get past the steroid era. And everytime someone does test positive a dad has to explain to his son why his hero takes drugs. The saddest thing of all is that any player who puts up good number will be under a cloud of suspicion. Manny cheated plain and simple but do we blame him or blame the culture. True nobody forced Manny to take these drugs but due to the abundance of steroid use he might have felt he had no other choice. Maybe he felt he had to keep up with everybody else. No matter how you look at it, its another black eye for baseball seeing one of its best players test positive. Hopefully, its over but honestly would it surprise anyone if Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard or Prince Fielder tested Positive. The answer is no.
