Where Did My Manny Ramirez Topic Go?

Strange things happen on this site all too often---I thought you started a great thread

.

You're right TR. We all thought this site emanated from suburban Minneapolis, but close inspection reveals otherwise...



...a spot between Area 50 and Area 52!

If Manny Ramirez gets voted in as a starter for the MLB All-Star Game, should he accept it and attend the event?

I would like to think that the suspension would negate his ability to be honored at the All Star Game.

What do you guys think about the fans voting for the all-stars in MLB? Personally, I don't like it.

I have always thought the players and managers should vote for the All Stars. I believe this will be the best way to ensure the best players of the season, to date, will be selected.

Same thing with American Idol!

Bud Selig would never allow Manny not to play because he sells tickets. God forbid the integrity of the game get in the way.

He should be banned from the All-Star game for sure.

Juicers shouldnt be allowed to participate in the All-Star Game.

They need to have one All-Star Game for the players that dont cheat - and another one for the liars and cheaters like Manny.

Then - noone will feel slighted.

How about this---the All Star Supposed Juicers vs the All Star Supposed Non Juicers

TR

I will name the All-Juice All-Star team - you have to do the Non-Juice team.

Here we go:

1B - Rafael Palmeiro
2B - Chuck Knoblauch
SS - Miguel Tejada
3B - Alex Rodriguez
LF - Barry Bonds
CF - Lenny Dykstra
RF - Sammy Sosa
P - Roger Clemens
C - Benito Santiago
DH - Mark McGwire

Your turn - but you definitely have the harder part.

Its

keep in mind I said supposed

1B--Mark Teixeira
2B--Roberto Cano
SS - Jose Reyes
3B -David Wright
LF --_Alfonso Soriano
CF- Torii Hunter
RF -- JD Drew
P -- John Lester
C-- Jason Veritek
DH ----Big Pappi

Dear Mr Rizzi,

May I ask - where is Arthur Shamsky and Kenny Boswell?

Boy, he got ripped off.

The best thing he ever did in his career was throw a steroid fueled ball into the stands and hit Keith Olberman's mom.

No kidding - he actually hit her in the noggin.

If only it could have been Keith - LOL

its

I have not seen Shamsky since he was partners with Phil Linz in a couple of niteclubs/bars


BYW---15 th inning Texas and BC ---2-2 unreal game

Never followed Boswell other than in the movies

TR - Do you remember Shamskys's niteclub in Rockland County?

"The Marshmellow"



BTW - I will ignore the Boswell comment - as you and I both know he was the greatest 2nd baseman that ever played the game.

#12 - Kenny Bossssssssssssswellllllllllll!

Sadly it appears like the fans voting for Manny is sending a message. For some reason it seems like Manny doing steroids isn't as bad as others doing steroids.

The Dodgers have by far the best record in baseball. By far the leading vote getter on the Dodgers team is Manny. What does this tell us?

If anything, wouldn't this be at least as bad as those who used steroids years ago and are being hung out to dry? This one actually happened and resulted in a 50 game suspension after everything that preceded it.

Now that MLB finally has a rule and punishment in force does it make it less of an issue? This might be the best reason for taking the voting away from the fans! The fans are sending a terrible message!

The fans are sending a terrible message!

Yes, but it tells you of American culture where cheating is OK.

It tells you there are a lot of Dodger fans voting.
