I was listening to Dan Patrick this morning when he introduced the news that Manny Ramirez would be banned 50 games for testing positive for drugs. Arguably the best hitter in baseball tested positive for what is possibly a performance enhancing drug and Patrick announced the news with the same intonation as "Bueller, Beuller". Patrick and crew were not surprised, not angry, not emotional. It's sad to see that baseball has turned into the East German swim team. We are no longer surprised when baseball players get outed. The assumption now is that everyone except, Derek Jeter was on roids. So unless it's Jeter, no big deal. I guess we just wait for the next big name. Like ESPN magazine's annual issue, Who's NEXT?
