So a few days ago, I was all talking about my favorite team besides Lakers, the Dodgers. Manny Ramirez driven them to 13-0 record at home (best start ever) and are leading Washington Nationals right now. If they win tonight, then they will be 14-0. Big news all around L.A. sports world today.
Manny Ramirez is suspended for 50 games for violating the MLB Banned Substance policy. It is NOT steriods, but this HgC drug, that does something with testoterone. Manny got tested positive during Spring Training. This will be a huge blow to the LA Dodgers but if they can get through this time period, then they will be in good shape. Manny will lose 7 million off his 25 million salary. I am surprised and delighted for him. He said it was his own fault for not knowing the banned substance list. I can't believe Manny would do this. Now for the next month or 2, Dodger Stadium will probably lose some fans and some revenue cuz Manny isn't there. We'll just wait for July 3, when he can return.
The other big news is that Derek Fisher was suspended for yesterday's hard foul on Luis Scola. He ran over him and knocked Scola down. It was not intentional. Lakers had foul to give and he wanted to use it. But it will teach the Rockets a lesson that the Lakers are not soft. Luckily, Kobe Bryant did not get suspended for elbowing Ron Artest. Dwight Howard got suspended one game for elbowing a player.
My left arm is soar right now. Went to doctor today and had a shot and had blood drawn out of me. It is soar but will be better tomorrow.
