The Los Angeles Times is reporting the Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez will be suspended for 50 games after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. The Dodgers currently have the best record in baseball, and just set the modern-era mark for consecutive home wins to start a season (13).
Ramirez joins Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Alex Rodriguez on the list of legitimate Superstars that were on the juice.. or cream and the clear.. or B12.. or Boli. But Ramirez already has his defense in place.

Sounds likely, but either way Major League Baseball is suspending Ramirez immediately. More as this develops….
