Manny retires, MLB says he had a dirty urine

[Footballtime]

What a guy, gets the call from MLB about a dirty urine, and says **** it, Im gonna retire!

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Smart man

[20Four7]

Don't blame him one bit...... I'd be gone too.

[rymille83]

what was he gonna do? sit around for 100 games and play the last 56 or so? he'd be 300 lbs by then.

I'm sure TB let him know he NEEDED to retire to save some face......

[Mikail]

He is Manny and Manny does what he want's. I remember when he received his 50 game suspension when he was out here in LA and remembering thinking that this guy isn't gonna change. He has an ego and is selfish. I feel bad for the Tampa organization for taking a chance by taking him on for a 1 year contract. I'm sure they had their suspicions otherwise it would have been for more than a year. Regardless 2 million for a year and he gets popped again and it's only the beginning of the season. This is his second dirty UA so even if he comes back he'd still have to serve the 100 game suspension and if caught a 3rd time a lifetime ban from the MLB

Funny how george mitchell didn't release the red sox names on his great report. But if your on the board of directors I guess it makes sense

Looks like the Rays just got even worse. Who's the best player in the lineup now that Manny has retired and Longoria is on the DL?

Damon, Upton, Zobrist

They should probably start letting Price or Shields hit

=======what was he gonna do? sit around for 100 games and play the last 56 or so?

not much choice --sit out 100 games without pay

[VegasInsider]

Did he test dirty for PED's or recreational drugs?

[sweethook]

[Money]

[INVEGA MAN]

he loves drugs. they say he cant get enough and had to bail out

[LLXC]

100 games was basically this season...

[Ace_of_Spades]

He hasn't much left to give anyway.

[rsnnh12]

Manny is such a peculiar guy. He's never been about the money. He just kinda did his thing, no ones really sure what motivated him to keep playing. Love of the game? Pride? Ego? Who knows

[nulldah]

let's see whether this will affect their losing streak

[starfire]

let's see whether this will affect their losing streak

I hope not

[STAY STRONG]

Manny being Manny!!!

[Tilt360]

Should have retired couple year ago. It not like he having an impact on the Ray.

[Dirty Sanchez]

I'm really shocked that Manny was on the juice...shocked

[me-first]

Manny was pretty much done anyway..

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

He'll be back in a couple of years..

[jonmic]

doesn't surprise me, he is way past his prime - about time

[ex50warrior]

I was looking forward to seeing him in Tampa.....

[soli]

Regardless of what folks may say, Manny can still hit and would be a good asset as a DH in the post season

[tcmoody99]

Lol **** he was my number 1 Fantasy pick

[CTOWNsCAPPIN]

just ruined his hof careeer

[macmane]

Things went down from him when he left Bos.
