Manny lived up to his reputation this weekend.... he had a pop fly drop at his feet against the Rockies. Dive for a ball are you kidding, they dont pay him 20 million a year to dive.

You apparently didn't see the rest of the game. Matt Kemp also dropped one, and Spilbourghs nearly dropped two. The sun was death for fly balls that game.

I only saw the highlights on ESPN, ( nine innings is more than I can currently handle,but Im working may way up to it, there was no dropping the ball for Manny on this play, that would have required actually making a play on the ball he never got close. The money this cat is making, he should be running not trotting across the outfield, it really did look as though he could not have cared any less... but to his defense, the Rockies did not score that inning...

Sports drama, a lot more fun than CNN.

Have fun dealing with all his issues. Though, he was fun sometimes, such as when he caught the ball jumped up to high five a fan, then turned around and threw a runner out.

Aside from the person that finds a cure for cancer and AIDS, there isn't ANYONE that deserves this kind of money for ANY JOB. It's bull$h!t like this that made me stop watching ALL ball sports in the mid-80's.

Total crap!!!

Manny represents the worst elements of pro athletes......
Selfish, lazy, greedy & now perfomance PEDs. He's a cancer in the clubhouse.
Although he's one of the greatest hitters of all time the way he quit on the Bosox last year was unconscionable. "Manny being Manny" is a euphemism for being an A-Hole!

For using a female sex drug to restart their body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle.

He will also have to forfeit his pay for the period of the missed games.

HAHHAHAHAHA

all I have to say.

I'm glad to see that another so called star has been suspended by the league. I really enjoy it when the $$$ are wasted by the large market teams.

The word is it was human chorionic gonadatropin, which is what shows up in a woman's bloodstream when she gets pregnant. Is Manny with child?

[Jonesee]

The substance induces the body to create more testosterone. Typically it is taken when an athlete cycles off a form of steroid.

It speaks volumes about his guilt that Manny cancelled his appeal and decided to live with the punishment. he got caught, he got punished.

It is sad he ever did anything to put himself in this position.
