Thank God Manny’s Not On Our Fantasy Team

Los Angeles Dodgers’ outfielder Manny Ramirez has been suspended by Major League Baseball for violating the league’s drug policy.

Ramirez will be forced to sit for 50 games – or nearly two months.

The slugger says he wasn’t busted for taking steroids, but rather for taking a medication that he says he was prescribed “for a personal health issue.”

Sources are telling ESPN that Ramirez took a fertility drug that is typically prescribed to players when they are coming off of a steroid cycle.

For those of you who want the TMI, the drug Ramirez allegedly took helps the testicles produce testosterone again.

Ramirez – who is not a member of Sic Willie’s FITS Fartknockers fantasy baseball squad – was hitting a scorching .347 with 6 home runs and 20 RBI’s through the first five weeks of the season.

He will lose $8 million as a result of the suspension – or roughly a third of his 2009 salary.

Ramirez is one of the game’s all-time greats, a World Series MVP, twelve-time All-Star and member of the 500 HR club.

It’s unknown how a positive test under these circumstances will effect his legacy …
