The internet is abuzz with Red Sox and Yankees fans discussing the Manny Ramirez incident. (Dodgers fans are holding off to avoid the traffic). It's disappointing to hear that another star baseball player was busted using roids. At this point, baseball players are the new boobs; if they look really impressive, everyone is immediately going to assume they've been "enhanced".

It sucks that Manny did this, who knows how long he's been doing it, and you have to wonder who else he's close with was doing it with him. Honestly, it won't affect my opinion all that much. Usually roids is just another reason to hate someone I already despise like A-Rod and Clemens (although thankfully, A-Rod gives us a ton of things to mock him for so losing "A-Roid" won't make him an less of a target or even a bit harder to mock). I still love the Nomaaaah year in Beantown even though I think it's pretty obvious that he was juicing. I wish people wouldn't use these drugs but I have to imagine that Jose Canseco was right and that most a majority of stars are on something. It's a shame.

And whenever I hear a roids story I can't help but think of this classic SNL sketch.
