Quite disappointing...
The Rangers are looking good to be beating up on the supposedly best team in the AL.
That is true, but the Red Sox went after some of the biggest free agents and spent a ton of money to win.is it just me, or do people forget that the rangers are the defending al champs?
Will you still be around by then.
If Cleveland sweeps and then you guys head home to face the Yankees it might be time to worry.
Poor start for the Giants, especially galling since the losses have been coming against the Dodgers and the Padres. Too much poor fielding, mental mistakes, bad baserunning - lots of Little League stuff out there, gotta cut that out.
Oh well, at least Lincecum struck out 13 Pads today to end the roadie on a positive note.
Agreed. But im SUPER excited for opening night. I have tickets and will be flying up from the OC.
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6310125Tampa Bay Rays slugger Manny Ramirez has notified Major League Baseball that he is retiring after being notified of an issue under MLB's drug policy.
Ramirez tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug during spring training and retired rather than face a 100-game suspension, The New York Times reported on its website.
Major League Baseball announced the move in a statement on Friday. The statement did not say whether Ramirez tested positive for a banned substance. He has previously served a 50-game suspension for violating the drug policy while he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"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."
The Rays purchased the contract of Casey Kotchman from Triple-A Durham to replace Ramirez on the roster.
"The Tampa Bay Rays were informed today by the commissioner's office that Manny Ramirez has decided to retire after being informed of an issue under the drug program," the Rays said in a statement. "We are obviously surprised and disappointed by this news. We will have no further comment on this matter, and our fans and organization will carry on."
Ramirez, 38, left the team earlier this week to attend to what the Rays called a family matter. Manager Joe Maddon said on Thursday that he expected Ramirez to be available for Friday night's game at Chicago.
The 12-time All-Star agreed to a $2 million, one-year contract with the defending AL East champions in the offseason, hoping to re-establish himself as one of the game's feared hitters.
Manny retires after another positive drug test.http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6310125
Finally Manny can stop being Manny. Though, I think in his head he retired years ago.
Can't say that I'll miss him.
Manny retires after another positive drug test.
Lucky you! Hope you packed some sweaters because it's chilly here right now. I need to snag some tickets to one of the midweek Dodger games.
The Rays were in trouble long before this. Getting rid of their star players, Longoria on the shelf, Damon being old. They will be lucky to win 70 games this year.cheater. explains the .000 batting average though. but this puts the rays in a bit of a pickle.
