    Manny done

    Tampa Bay Rays designated hitter Manny Ramirez is retiring.
    Major League Baseball announced the move in a statement on Friday.
    "Major League Baseball recently notified Manny Ramirez of an issue under Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," the statement said. "Rather than continue with the process under the Program, Ramirez has informed MLB that he is retiring as an active player. If Ramirez seeks reinstatement in the future, the process under the Drug Program will be completed. MLB will not have any further comment on this matter

    pretty shitty way to end a hall of fame career, guy became a laughing stock.

    probably the best move for him and the rays.

    LOL at first i thought drug related was for marijuana...lol....but i guess roids makes sense...

    Some how I dont think he really cares that he got busted for roids....he was prolly rolling the dice to see if he could get away with it or not....

    He has his money...he's the one laughing all the way to the bank...time to ride the gravy train

    Funny how the are saying he quit when one of there beloved coaches left in mid season which is worse than leaving at beginning of season IMO and they threw a parade for him. Only fools let the media make up there minds for them.

    I still think he gets into the HOF. I think a lot of sluggers from the steroid era eventually will get in.
