Manny Ramirez Suspended for 50 Games

Manny Ramirez was suspended for using a banned substance.

Is anyone still surprised about this stuff?

I admit that I was a little surprised but hearing more of the information there isn't a way to guarantee what Manny's intentions were. It wasn't steroids and he has passed multiple drug tests in the past few years.

So was he just lucky previously?

I don't know. I tend to believe people when they say something. I always give people the benefit of the doubt which sometimes gets me in trouble but it is who I am.

Personally I am like Ramirez. I know the Red Sox fans hate him and now most baseball fans are upset with him. But I still like him. I think it is good for a player not to take the sport so seriously that it turns into a job. Sure he pissed of the Red Sox by not wanting to play there and sitting out games but so what. Everyone is tired of the Red Sox and their fans.

Time will tell with Manny and if he used steroids or not. But I would say this to everyone...let a guy make his case before you determine if he is guilty.
