  • Manny Ramirez suspended for 50 games for using a PED. He insists it was just medication.

    • Manny Ramirez will be suspended 50 games for positive drug test
      Kirby Lee / US Presswire

      Dodgers left fielder Manny Ramirez prepares to head back into the field during a game against the San Diego Padres on Friday. Ramiez will be suspended 50 games for a positive drug test, The Times has learned.
      The suspension, which is expected to begin with tonight's game, makes him the biggest star penalized under baseball's testing program that started in 2003.

        Just like two days ago actually I was thinking I should have taken Manny instead of Tex.

        • It appears Manny tested positive for a fertility drug?

              • Was just doing some numbers.

                Roy Halliday's win percentage, .671 is a point about Ruth's, and is in the top ten of all time in baseball.

                The only notables above him are Lefty Grove at .680, Whitey Ford, at .690, and Pedro Martinez.

                While he doesn't have hall of fame credentials yet, I didn't realise he was so high up there already.

                  From what I read it is to counter some of the effects of steroids on the male sex organs.

                    It's mostly because he plays in Toronto (and in an era when New York and Boston are dominant). Roy Halliday is an amazing pitcher.

                    The more impressive number is his career 131 ERA+! That is 33rd all time and tied with Sandy Koufax.

                      Halliday wins ratio is 137 over his team. His team average a win percentage of .488 without Halliday in the lineup.

                        Look to the former East Germany for answers.

                        • So I was at a Nats game last night and on the scoreboard they listed off scores for other games around the league. Some of them were marked with different codes/abbreviations I couldn't really identify. There was D, R, IR.

                          I assume D is delay, R is rain, but what is IR?

                            • Three straight walk-offs for the Yanks have put me in a pretty good mood. They're still trailing, but they're back to respectability. Now if they can get Wang and Posada back... and Bruney and Molina (though I dunno if I'd mind if Frankie Cervelli went ahead and Pipped Molina), they should be in good shape.

                              • Yeah... the Yankees recent streak of walk off wins is amazing. Personally, I hate the Yankees, but even I'm enjoying their streak.
