When I was growing up, I was always devastated when I would ask my parents "Are you mad at me" and they'd say "no, not mad, disappointed." It was like a knife in the heart or a slap in the face. Sometimes I would have much rather had them say "yes, I'm furious."
Just after noon, The New York Times broke this headline Report: Ortiz and Ramirez said to be on 2003 doping list. You knew immediately who they were talking about, Manny Ramirez, Boston's social parriah of last summer, and David Ortiz, one of the most loved and respected players in the Red Sox organization. Here's the story.
It's not really shocking, but it is disappointing, especially since Ortiz vehemently denied ever using steroids and even made the auspicious remark at spring training that
"I think you clean up the game by the testing. I test you, you test positive, you're going to be out. Period,If I test positive using any kind of banned substance I'm going to disrespect the game, my family, my fans and everybody. And I don't want to face the situation so I won't use it. I'm sure everybody is on the same page."
Be careful what you wish for....on another note, why don't we just get it over with and release the entire list of 104 names, be disgusted about it, and move on? It sucks that it's coming out in drips and droves over a long period of time.
Oh, and per status quo as of late, the Sox are losing to Oakland, one of the worst teams in the league, for the 3rd straight day. Maybe this year I'll start to get into football...
