Manny Ramirez is playing at Triple-A Albuquerque getting ready for his return to the Dodgers. They made a big deal out of his minor league stint on TV. The announcers for espn explained he had two at bats and got in his swings. They made it sound like he was rehabbing from an injury.
But of course he's not rehabbing from an injury. He's rehabbing from cheating. He is a cheater, the current cheater in a long line of baseball cheaters. The Albuquerque team had its biggest crowd ever to see the rehabbing cheater. Good for the team and good for the fans. But baseball never should let him play in the minors and be treated like a hero. He should get baseball ready by playing catch in his driveway, not in front of paying fans. This should not be an honor -- the Manny Return Tour. It's supposed to be a punishment. What a joke.
I don't understand how this is happening. I thought he was suspended from playing baseball. I guess this is routine but 60 day suspension should mean 60 day suspension
I saw that as well and could not believe what I was seeing! Isn't the farm team part of MLB? If a police officer gets suspended from his job does he or she get to moonlight in the next city? Common!
I think the commish of the NFL has the right idea. Lay down the law and enforce it each and every time. It's just like raising kids. After awhile these guys WILL get the message.
However what Bud is doing is absurd. I was disgusted with him last night. But then that won't be a first.
