MattyBoy 1 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 Everyone still think no Red Sox being named in the Mitchell report has nothing to do with Mitchell working for the Sox? You can't convince me that Manny jjust started taking things now after everything that's gone on. Plus Ortiz's homerun totals in Minnesota were: 1,9,0,10,18,20 then he goes to the Sox and they jump to 31,41,47,54,35,23..... ya don't just learn how to hit and start blasting homeruns in your 7th season.

fawn111 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 Always liked Manny's goofy demeanor.... Sadly he is probably the last person in this era that I would have suspected being on anything....he has hit the long ball his entire career from high school up till now.... I once heard that he never struck out in High school...I would really love to believe that this is a one-time incident with something unrelated to any type of steroid or HGH , but sadly, we will never really ever know the truth.

You can't convince me that Manny jjust started taking things now after everything that's gone on.Most Red Sox fans will argue that. At the very least I'm sure no one on the Sox had any idea it was going on.I can't wait to see if Curt Shilling has anything to say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prenny207 1 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 The guy can hit, and i will never say anything against that fact....that being said, for the past few years , i've thought that he is one of the worst examples for MLB. i think he's an absolute slob, he is horrible in the field, and the whole "manny being manny" attitude is just the world trying to make it ok for him to be a complete douche.this just makes my thoughts all that more solidified. as they just reported on sportscenter, if he had an issue, he could have gone to the Union and gotten a medical exemption of sorts if he had a true personal health issue. he could have talked to team doctors and said is this ok to take. other avenues as well were available if this was a "personal" issue. oh ya, and why doesn't he appeal...

JR Boucicaut 3759 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 It's the same drug Canseco got probation for trying to sneak into Mexico. It is used by users who are trying to get their levels up after quitting steroids cold-turkey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 In the wake of seeing another of his PED allegations prove true, Jose Canseco decided to hold a press conference in Beverly Hills on Thursday to address the inevitable horde of media eager to capture his "I told you so." Only problem? The presser was only attended by a reporter from the Associated Press, a photographer, four camera crews and his lawyer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted May 9, 2009 I've said Manny has been on steroids since he was with Cleveland. I distinctly remember him breaking two bats on check swings, I know one was against Baltimore... At the time, I "KNEW" there was something up. (I say "knew" because I was confident then, not soo much now)Wasn't there an issue when he signed with the Red Sox about him refusing a drug test while in the Dominican Republic during the off-season? I recall a report about allegations of certain players taking steroids in the off-season while out of the country and flushing their system before the season began... Not sure if there was ever any weight to the story, just something I remember hearing on ESPN forever ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted May 9, 2009 But he sure is looking right on all of his allegations.Exactly. I would have thought media would pick up on the fact that he's been onto something for some time but has been shunned. I'm guilty of thinking the same when his first book came out but since then he's proven himself to be spot-on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy tries to make himself into a walking media circus ( his upcoming mma fight against that 7' whatever guy? even though he got knocked out in celebrity boxing, his action star reel) its hard to take him seriously.

adam14 182 Report post Posted May 26, 2009 I dont think Doc can single handedly pull the jays out of this spiral. they look like a little league team. poor fielding, bad throwing and even worse hitting. its quite brutal to watch, unless of course you've grown accustomed to it.
