I used to love Manny and certainly was all over the Red Sox bandwagon, originally just because of pure unadulterated hatred for the Yankees, but I dug their vibe. I couldn't figure out why Manny and the Sox had a falling out so fast, but it certainly is looking less and less like a bad thing.
Manny has swung a great bat for so many years and the only substance I assumed he was on was copious amounts of weed, or some other mind-altering substance. Just another player that we all assumed was clean succumbs to a drug test, for a substance given to women right after pregnancy no less. The situation just continues to piss me off. It gets completely beaten to death via media, I'm certainly contributing now, but you can't help but wonder if anyone was clean. Everything is tainted it would seem and it's now guilty until proven innocent for everyone in baseball.
How many players cycle during the offseason and just don't use during the season? When players weren't being tested, how much more abuse was there? There is a slew of questions that we'll only find out at a death-bed confession probably, but I can't help but question everyoen in baseball at this point. It sucks thinking like that, but if Rafael Palmeiro was ripping 'roids, I just don't understand who you trust at this point. I just sincerely hope we're done hearing about players using, but that seems as likely as it raining $20 bills. Fuck Manny for making us re-live this bullshit.
