We were among the last stalwarts of the pro-Manny side of last year's big Red Sox controversy, but we can admit when we were wrong. Looks like the Red Sox dodged a bullet, since Manny's now suspended for 50 games for a positive steroid test, according to an ESPN/LA Times report. Manny, hitting .348 for the scorching Dodgers, might blame the test on something his doctor gave him, which doesn't sound fishy at all. We'll let you know more when we know more, and if you're going to link this to David Ortiz' sudden lack of power this season, well, you may not be the only one.
