Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, and the Roid Sox

My beloved sport of baseball has once again taken a hit because of greedy, selfish, baseball players whose success and fame just aren't enough, they have to boost those numbers using Performance Enhancing Drugs, or PED's. Of all the dumb things you can do in a town, especially one which had not claimed a World Series title in 86 years, is to take steroids, become the hero, and then six years down the road, let reporters from the New York Times report you had taken steroids in 2003 during the so-called "anonymous" drug test. Being a Diamondbacks fan, I can't stand the way Manny has acted in Boston, let alone the warm reception L.A. gave him after his 50-game suspension for testing positive for a banned substance, this only confirms my hatred of Ramirez, but Big Papi?! Really? The guy who vehemently denied ever taking steroids, saying there should be a year suspension from baseball for even the first positive test, is guilty of testing positive? What should honestly surprise us these days about star baseball players, their egos, and the lengths they will go, to perform at a peak level, higher than their competitors? I do not like Jose Canseco, but everyday it seems as if his allegations are true, even though we all laughed at him when he said 80 percent of baseball players were taking steroids. There are discussions going around about whether we should put asterisks next to the records players with a known connection to steroids make. We don't know the scope of steroids and their users, for all we know every player was on them during this time. We can't put asterisks in the record books, but we can right the wrongs of baseball. For every Dodger fan who cheered when Manny came back after being suspended, and welcomed him with open arms, now we need to boo and jeer him. He is not a clean player and will do the same to you as he did in Boston. Win a tainted title and leave when you don't pay him enough. We need to raise our children as moral human beings, so that when they do get offered steroids, they don't take them. Cheating is wrong and although it looks like they prosper, it always comes back to bite you, so a here is a little piece of advice, Don't do it!
