i am loving the pitching, but the top of your lineup is only hitting good because pitchers are giving them pitches to see so they dont have to face Manny with people on base.
they could prove me wrong, but thats my look on it.

the top of the line up. what about the bottom? casey blake, our 8 hitter has 5 HR and like 15 RBI, KEMP is our 7th hitter. we have a very good line up 1-8.
and the top might slip a bit, but i dont think there will be a HUGE difference in the way we play. maybe less 1st inning runs. :P
we're not gonna suffer too much..believe dat! :bandit:

but on the real, i think you can handle them easy & you probably will still win the division, unless everyone collapses with the missing of Manny, but i think getting out of the divisional series is a long shot.

Halu Sination:
So according Yahoo sports, the drug he was caught with was a sexual enhancer?

LOS ANGELES - A source close to Manny Ramirez(notes) said Thursday that the illegal substance for which the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger tested positive was not "an agent customarily used for performance enhancing."
At least not on the baseball diamond. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the substance is supposed to boost sex drive. It is not Viagra, but a substance that treats the cause rather providing a temporary boost in sexual performance, the source said.
Ramirez tested positive for the substance during spring training, then was administered a second test more recently, and it also was positive. Major League Baseball notified Ramirez of the second positive test after Wednesday night's Dodgers victory over the Washington Nationals. Ramirez admitted to having taken the substance and declined to appeal. His 50-game suspension begins today.
"The substance is not a steroid and it is not human-growth hormone," the source said.
Ramirez, the source said, acquired the substance through a prescription from a doctor in Miami for his medical condition. The source intimated that Ramirez might bring legal action against the physician.
Ramirez released the following statement Thursday morning: "Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was okay to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons.
The Dodgers, who have won a Major League record 13 consecutive home games to start the season, will be without Ramirez until July 3. Outfielder Xavier Paul was promoted from triple-A to take Ramirez's place on the roster. The suspension will cost Ramirez close to $8 million in lost wages.
Drugs or hormones that increase testosterone production often show up on banned lists.
"Testosterone and similar drugs are effective for erectile dysfunction in that they jazz up your sex drive," said Charles Yesalis, a professor at Penn State who has testified before Congress on issues of performance-enhancing drugs. "But far more clinicians accept that affect with Viagra and Cialis. It's hard for me to understand if it was erectile dysfunction why they would use [something else]."
