Papi Too? I Can't Believe It!

Who me (Manny)? Yes you! Couldn't be! Then Who? Papi stole the steroids from the steroid jar!

Manny Ramirez, we all knew you used steroids to get your numbers, but David Ortiz?

Of course I'm kidding, but in case you haven't heard, the NY Times is reporting that Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz tested positive in 2003.

I haven't really been counting but maybe we should start, that's now Manny, Papi, Arod, and Sosa who have had their names leak from an "anonymous" test. That's just not right. If someone or some group is in charge of leaking this out, would a slow drip create more publicity and gain them more money than a flash flood? I think it would.

As a Yankees fan I just want to laugh at the Red Sox and say haha your championships are tainted. And I kind of have already, but in reality it's not like the Yankees or any team for that matter isn't guilty. Also, getting into an argument over which team was doing it worse doesn't get anywhere either. "But if Manny and Papi weren't juicing, they don't come back from the 3 game deficit against the Yankees!" Well, how do you explain Jason Giambi, Kevin Brown, Alex Rodriguez (do we really think he only used on the Rangers?), and Gary Sheffield? There isn't some formula to decide who did the best without steroid users. We can't take Wins - 1.5(OPS of abusers)/ Losses + [(Days avoided on DL cause of HGH use)/tRA]= ExpWin%-Steroids, to determine that the Reds are now the best team of the steroid era. Bottom line is that every team cheated and every team benefited. Maybe those championships are tainted, but so long as everything is tainted it's kind of like nothing is right? So go ahead and enjoy the memories.
