Comments on: LOTD: New York Times Reports Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz Tested Positive for PEDs in 2003 http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2009/07/david-ortiz-manny-ramirez-tested-positive-for-peds-in-2003/ A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:29:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bill K http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2009/07/david-ortiz-manny-ramirez-tested-positive-for-peds-in-2003/#comment-10122 Bill K Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:39:53 +0000 http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/?p=2962#comment-10122 I am not sure it can be called news when we all knew that certain players were juicing. Just because it comes out now to confirm it is really no big deal. A few years back there were essentially three types of hitters. 1) "Pure" power hitters (not really pure but full of juice) 2) Hitters that hit for average 3) Hitters that should be sent down to the minor league I don't think that any reader of this blog felt that Sammy and Big Mac were pure as the driven snow in their home run chase. If you do think that then you may need to see a doctor. I am not sure it can be called news when we all knew that certain players were juicing.

It happened 6 years ago. I can't say that I'm shocked with these two guys. Manny, since he was caught this year, and Big Papi since his HR and RBI stats more than doubled. <a href="http://realfakesports.blogspot.com/2009/07/red-sox-nation-trying-to-retroactively.html" rel="nofollow">Red Sox Nation Trying to Retroactively Legalize Steroids in 2003 (Satire)</a> Why is this considered news?

The Roger Clemens, Bonds Manny etc. got paid huge numbers over their careers, while some who played clean either did not make it to the Bigs, or perhaps didn't stick around because of the cheaters. Those players can't go back and try a gain, it's sad! So now we'll have weeks of media frenzy and they'll just go on collecting big paychecks! MLB looked the other way while the clubs made money and clean players were pushed out of the game. This is whatgot America in the bind we are in, gread at all cost...even if it's at the expense of the games integrity. Another myth exposed. Hank, Babe, Roger Maris, your records still stand in my mind.
