SNY ran one of their in-game pools the other night asking which NL Division leader had the best chance of winning their division.
1 - Phillies
2 Cardinals
3 - Dodgers
much laughing was had in the booth , Dodgers at the time were five games up , now 6.5 games up. That division just got more interesting.

I still think it's the Dodgers. Manny would be back before the All-Star break (just in time to face the Mets at Citi) and I don't see any of those other teams stepping up in the West.
Certainly not a sure thing, though.

On re-read, looks like Edgy already said what I said.
I just want to make it clear to Mr. McCourt (and Mr. Wilpon and every other owner) that I am willing to follow around Manny (or some other superstar) and make sure everything he takes isn't on the list. Call within the next twenty minutes (because you know I can't do this all day) and I'll do it for a just a few million a year.

This is my first thought. I think if Manny is within a block of a pharmacy (or a guy selling something on a square of tin foil) then he should be tackled by his employer and rassled into submission.

| ] two sources told ESPN's T.J. Quinn and Mark Fainaru-Wada that the drug used by Ramirez is HCG -- human chorionic gonadotropin. HCG is a women's fertility drug typically used by steroid users to restart their body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Bonds, Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO.

He wanted to test the feasibility of 'Manny breeding Manny.'
He wanted to look good in a strapless gown.
His dreads were getting split ends.
He was considering signing with the Nationals, and heard they were a bunch of 'softball girls.'

I doubt they can legally do so. The whole doctor-patient privacy law stops the teams from being able to force the players to do so, I would imagine.

But these two probably were at the forefront of investigating PED abuse in MLB over the last number of years. Quinn used to be Mets beat writer for the Snooze. Fainaru-Wada co-wrote " Game Of Shadows" .

Quinn jumped from the NYDN to ESPN at least a year or so ago.
Seems to have been hired specifically to work on their drug reporting (for baseball of course, there are no drug problems in the NFL)
Not sure if Fainaru-Wada is still with his SF paper and just doing extra work for ESPN or if he's switched to them full time too.

Because Brady Anderson's career was otherwise so forgettable that he's been, well, forgotten. If he was a HOF candidate, people would be talking about him for sure.
At this point, everybody's a suspect. I see no point in singling anyone out before clear evidence comes up against them.
