I wonder how many follicles he got on this round?
I am down, because of sad newspaper and people-I-know medical stories (face transplant, prostate cancer, melanoma). Why the world gotta be so sad, man?

I stand firmly in the ML baseball is a mess corner. I should also add the banners of the NFL, NBA, NHL and greater NCAA to that corner, although some of those bodies do a more admirable job at trying to keep things clean.

It was Clomid (or rather something similar):
Which apparently is something you use at the end of a steroids cycle, though it has testosterone boosting effects of its own.
It's telling that he's just accepting the suspension and apologizing.
Sucks. I was enjoying the effect Manny had on the Dodgers, even as I root against them.
Emmett's going to be so bummed. I hate telling him. It's just been one disillusionment after another for him. He used to have a Bonds headline taped to his door, when Barry hit a game winning home run after returning from his father's funeral. Now everytime he sees Barry on TV he starts yelling, "Cheater! Cheater! Mr. Tinyballs!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If you play professional sports, shouldn't you *check*? It's an adverse drug interaction. With your job.

The Union has been advising them to only take drugs from the team doctor. I'm pretty sure Manny knew he was cheating and didn't take this drug by accident. And I say that as a Manny fan who would rather believe he's capable of putting up Hall of Fame numbers without assistance.

It's a drug whose legitimate medical use is pretty much limited to jump starting testosterone production for fertility reasons or conditions that cause testosterone production to shut down. One of those conditions is, of course, taking steroids. It's also used off label for a controversial weight loss program. You note that he said it was to treat an unnamed medical condition. I guess he didn't want to say it was to treat man boobs and in inability to get it up.
