Every Sox fan is still going to cherish 2 titles in 4 seasons, but there's no question that they were won with chemical assistance; and that's sad. For sure, Manny's not even the only player on those teams (at leasts the '04 team) who was using something.

555 home runs, and no HOF for Manny.

I don't think you can find a single team from 1995 to 2005 that didn't have at least a few players roiding up. Methinks all stats during that era are pretty suspect.

Man-alysis: There will be no Hall entry after Ramirez's exit - Daily Pitch: MLB News, Standings, Schedules & More - USATODAY.com

"Yet, in an era where Hall of Fame voters are trying to decide whether to permit players who took steroids or violated the game's drug policy, they are now presented with a new challenge: Voting for an idiot."

And not only that......

Manny was the reason that the Cubbies didn't win the World Series in 2008.

Chicago Cubs: Chicago Cubs wonder if juiced Manny Ramirez to blame for ruining their 2008 playoffs - chicagotribune.com

Yup, our longest running national tragedy would now be over except for Manny.

It's true, it's true.....


To come: Manny and Japan's recent earthquake.

Yeah, baby. 8 in a row. When they lose 17 of 25 in May they'll be just a few games below .500 instead of done for the year.

Hey, where's your skepticism about the Rangers?

It's taken a back seat to his glee about the Red Sox. But at least Dice-K looked great last night
