Manny suspended 50 games

Posted by Michael.

… for failing a drug test (twice?), although he says that it’s due to a sexual performance drug that was okayed and prescribed by a non-team-sanctioned doctor.

You can read a lot about this all over the place, and Bill Simmons’ take is worth a read, but I wanted to share K’s reaction to the news, for which I am rather proud.

Me: So, the big news of today is that Manny got suspended 50 games …
K: For having horrible hair?

She calls them “poop-dreads” and she’s not wrong.

    “Poop dreads” – Hah!

    Tell K that she is so right about this!

    Yeah, “poop dreads” was actually the nickname for a college classmate of hers, but it totally describes the situation that is his head.

    For those interested, btw, here is a detailed description of why Manny didn’t appeal the suspension – MLB nailed him and had lots of evidence. None of this “fertility drug” nonsense or anything – there is/was evidence of a second testosterone-inducing drug in his system. Oops.
