2011 MLB Season Discussion: Joey Votto MVP Edition

[Olo401]

The 2011 Red Sox - custom built to hit Yankees pitching and only Yankees pitching. Fucking Hughes....

Edit: well that was quick he only lasted two innings.

[Akiyama]

Fuck. Is there a way to have Shinzon maybe move a starter up into my lineup today? Didn't notice him starting today and since we have full roster locks..

[Melena]

Yea, I pretty much have to set my roster the night before due to it. I got hosed last week having two people on the bench who ended up doing good cause i forgot to move them up.

[Akiyama]

I didn't know DeRosa was starting today at all, and I just woke up (lol2:34PM) so rofl. Ah well.

[Melena]

Just in time to see who between the yankee's and redsox can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Just announced on the news, and in NESN.

Manny Ramirez retires from the MLB, starting now.

Rumor is, he was getting in trouble for drug issues.

[Trichocyst]

Beat me to it, ha.

[Soa]

MLB released a statement saying that Manny Ramirez has retired, supposedly because he was caught taking a banned substance again and didn't want to get suspended.

Edit: Wow you guys are fast lol

[Mertron]

Just announced on the news, and in NESN.

Manny Ramirez retires from the MLB, starting now.

Rumor is, he was getting in trouble for drug issues.

"Major League Baseball recently notified Manny Ramirez of an issue under Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," the statement said. "Rather than continue with the process under the Program, Ramirez has informed MLB that he is retiring as an active player. If Ramirez seeks reinstatement in the future, the process under the Drug Program will be completed. MLB will not have any further comment on this matter."

taking my needles ball and going home

[Trichocyst]

He's pretty much fucked himself for the hall of fame with this one.

[Mertron]

YES reporting it would have been a 100 game suspension if it had gone through since it would have been his second offense.

[Melena]

ROFL, what a fucking idiot.

[Trichocyst]

All of the ESPN pundits via twitter are saying the same things. Buster Olney strongly implied that he sure looked like he was juicing in the off season and came into spring much bigger.

[Trichocyst]

Reports say that he flunked a drug test within 10 minutes of delivering the press release. What a week for the Rays.

[Kyo]

Joe Girardi continues to be awesome.

[Cephius]

Who broke Phil Hughes?

[fren.]

Manny's HoF credentials, like Hughes' fastball has flushed down the tubes.

[Trichocyst]

He's the first player to ever be nailed for PED's twice under the current system.

[Drunkenmonk]

lol, hitless in his rays career
edit: whoops 1/17

[Akiyama]

Lol wow. I feel for the Rays. Are they the Devil Rays again? Back to suckmode.
