It is a sad day for Dodger fans and baseball.
Although I live in L.A. I am originally from N.Y. and a die hard Yankee fan (yes its been painful). Since Manny came to L.A. it is hard not to be excited for the Dodgers(plus he is not lighting up Yankee pitching anymore). He has turned them around, took them to the playoffs and currently they have the best record in baseball. They just set a record for consecutive home wins to start the season, all was well in Dodger town untill today.
The best team in baseball just lost their best player for 50 games and disapointed Dodger and baseball fans alike. It shocks me that with all the bad steroid press and just signing a 40 million plus salary he could be so stupid and jepordize his career as well as loose over 7 million in salary. The Dodgers should have tested him BEFORE signing him, oh well.
It just goes to show you you can give someone millions of dollars but that doesnt make them any smarter. If he didnt already have enough bad press over how he left Boston now he has secured his name as one of the biggest fools in baseball. Yes Clemmens, Giambi and Arod have had their names tossed in the mud but they did what they did before the rules were in place and though their names are tarnished they didnt put their teams or careers in jeapordy and have never failed a test once the rules and tests were in place.
Once again I am not even a Dodger fan but can't begin to tell you how disapointed I am in Manny Ramirez. I love baseball and this is just what the game didnt need.
Very sad![]()
