Manny Ramirez

Most of you know that my family are huge Dodger fans. We loved it when they signed Manny and hoped that once he came to play for LA he would play there a long time.

When everyone was getting caught for steriod use, Manny's name just didn't seem to be in the mix. It looked like he was clean and just playing baseball. But...for whatever reason Manny is taking this stuff, he should know better and the Dodgers should have known that sooner or later he would get caught. Sadly, I think that it's such a huge problem in all sports, that we are being fed a few folks at a time to make it look like that they are doing their job in controlling steriod use.

So...it's all sad. I don't think there's a team out there who doesn't know that it will be one of their players next. I do hope that in a few years, we'll be able to get back to real baseball players who work hard and keep clean. But, I'm not sure that will happen unless MLB really controls this by banning all players for life when they get caught. Which would really be horrible.
