Hello, my name is Manny Ramirez and I'm a dumbass
Edited on Fri May-08-09 07:44 AM by Droopy
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I lead a charmed life. I'm an extremely talented baseball player. I'm regularly called one of the greatest of all time by people who know the game. I make millions of dollars a year just to play a little kid's game. And what do I have to do to make that happen? I just have to stay in shape and keep my pee clean. That's it! Hell, this trucker, Droopy, who I hired to write this little message because I'm too fucking stupid to put together a coherent message on my own, has a hell of a lot more responsibility than that just to keep his 50k a year trucking job- poor slob. But I can't lay off the juice or the smoke or whatever it is they found in my piss long enough to keep my multi-million dollar salary intact. I must be the world's biggest dumbass.

1. It was a female fertility/pregnancy hormone....
Manny being Mommy!!!
Seriously, from what I am reading it sounds like he's been doing juice for a long time in this hormone was being used to hide it...I think he misjudged how long it would be in his system. Yes, I think he's a cheater AND a dumbass....

6. This thread from the sports forum discusses it nicely
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=215&topic_id=95091&mesg_id=95091
Manny tested postitive for HCG...the hormone that pregnancy tests check for...:rofl:

7. Manny pissed hot, suspended 50 games
Apparently tested positive for a female fertility drug that is used to counteract some of the side effects of steroid use.

Thing is, Manny is such a head case that I almost believe him.

5. It was my understanding it was actually a male fertility drug
Not that it really matters, except for humor value.

Juicers take it at the end of a steroid cycle to combat the effects of scrotal shrinkage.

2. Too bad this won't make the greatest page but it should.

Manny is a douche. Some of us may live out our entire lives without realizing let alone utilizing our true gifts in life.

3. He may not have seemed so charmed or such a great player without
his prescriptions.

8. I disagree
Manny's greatest strength has always been his superhuman hand-eye coordination. Unlike a lot of power hitters, Manny also hit for average (he won a batting title), and rarely swung at a bad or unhittable pitch. That's a contrast with someone like Mark McGuire or Rafael Palmeiro, who benefited from the brute strength that steroid use provided.

10. I think baseball should be steroid mandatory.
That way baseball would be fun to watch.

12. Manny you dumbass, two questions if I may:
1. You pissed positive for hCG. Were you taking it as a post-steroid cycle testosterone jumpstart or to hide a low epitestosterone ratio?

2. If you answered to the latter on #1, what are you taking that you're trying to mask?

All the kids will want to know so that they can be just like you. :eyes:

17. If I understood that, I think I'd give it one of these: +1 .
So much science to just hit a ball and run the bases. And make millions doing it.

14. 50K a year? Luxury!
Back when I was a wee trucker, we 'ad to push our trucks, through the snow, uphill both ways, while being attacked by wolves, and when we got to the destination we paid for the privilege we did!

15. I like Manny
He was a joy to watch and a gifted baseball player. I believe it is very unfortunate that the pressure to play better and better drives athletes to destroy their bodies.
