Home Run Derby

Sometimes I scare myself. 

Within hours of my posting something about a potential playoff jinx of the Dodgers because of their unprecedented season-opening home win streak … MANNY RAMIREZ will be suspended for 50 GAMES by Major League Baseball as a result of testing positive for a performance enhancing drug. 

Whoa.  Manny’s absence will wreak absolute havoc in our little Home Run Derby contest … where 89 of 194 people took Ramirez in Group A3.  Say goodbye to the First Half Championship, gentlemen.

But it gets better … Manny wasn’t busted for steroids or HGH.  He was apparently busted for the kind of performance enhancing drug you use in the bedroom.   Let’s go to the anonymous source close to Ramirez …

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the substance is supposed to boost sex drive. It is not Viagra, but a substance that treats the cause rather providing a temporary boost in sexual performance, the source said.

Double Whoa.

I wonder how Manny’s wife, the lovely Juliana Ramirez, is going to feel about that little tidbit of information hitting the public airwaves? 

Because that news isn’t good for either of the Ramirez’ images.
