50 day suspension for testing positive to a banned substance.
Sorry Charley, you need to take the needle away from Barry and put it on Manny's doll :whistling:
Not surprised at all.
What happened to baseball players, actually looking like baseball players?
Let's be honest. Does anyone actually think Manny is able to understand what happened?
The phone call went something like this I bet.
Agent "Manny, you have been suspended for 50 games."
Manny "Okay"
Agent "That means they aren't going to pay you"
Manny "Okay"
Agent "That means you can't go to the Stadium."
Manny "Not even for dollar hot-dog night?"
Manny "Am I on Vacation?"
Agent "Yes, Manny your on vacation."
Manny "Can I get a fruity drink with a funny straw, I like funny straws. Can I play for Cleveland?"

Now that's funny....and probably very close to reality.. :thumbs:
Now does Jose Canseco seem like a liar? I think his is the only true voice in this fiasco. I'm sure the Dodgers knew this was coming. No doubt that is why his agent was looking for a 4 to 5 year deal. Also makes you wonder why the most productive RBI guy in baseball had so few bidders?
Sorry to all those who had them in their fantasy baseball team!

I think a lot of sportswriters and one particular television network owe Canseco an apology of great magnitude. It will never happen, though. I guess he has the satisfaction of being proven right, but that won't change the fact that he's always been an a-hole.
If the Dodgers knew this was coming, why sign him at all? I guess they still get him for 2/3 of the season, but doesn't this whole situation make them look bad, too? (Honest question, not snark)
I believe his agent probably knew it was coming.
I can't believe any player would be that stupid. With all the publicity and all the scrutiny on baseball and PEDs why would anyone with 1/2 a brain not think they would get caught?
I wonder who's next?
