Little black spot on the sun today
Al:
OK, so Bush Lied and people died;
Pelosi lied
and enemy combatants were drip-dried; and, now, Manny lied and fans are wide-eyed …
Al:
Does anybody
tell the truth
anymore?
Mike:
I want to believe.
Doug:
What that he's telling the truth when he says he was just taking what the doc gave him and didn't know?
Mike:
Yeah,
it's like Bob Ryan says, "If any baseball superstar is capable of taking a medication in all innocence, and then finding out that something in it is included on Major League Baseball's banned list of substances, it is Manny Ramírez."
Mike:
And Ryan also notes that Manny doesn't fit the PED profile — no change in body type or mass, no surge in powah numbahs …
Doug:
I dunno, guy, I'd like to believe he's innocent, too, but c'mon, it's a friggin'
Octo-mom stretch mahk
of a stretch.
Doug:
Why the hell do you put a female fertility drug into your body and, oh, by the way, not just any female fertility drug but one it so happens
that male steroid users sometimes take
to stimulate their body’s natural testosterone production?
Al:
Seriously. And this is a guy who has a friggin' history of, er, being careless with the truth when it serves him.
Al:
How can you believe him?
Mike:
Look. Manny was the 2004 World Series MVP! Do you see where I'm going to with this?
Mike:
I *want* to believe because alternative is too heinous to considah. I don't want
even a hint of an asterisk anywhere near the 2004 club.
Doug:
"Curse of the
Gonadotropin"
Al:
Jesus
wept.
Today was a good sports day.

Who are we going to give those rings back to BigLie? You? The Yankees? (The biggest steroid-infested team in all of baseball).
Or your mom, who needs them to pay the mortgage and your comic collection bill?
