Baseball Rocked by Manny's Suspension

Manny Ramirez was suspended for 50 games after testing positive for a banned substance. His suspension will begin with today's game against Washington and should end by July 3rd. Manny tested positive for human chorionic gonadotropin, a woman's fertility drug typically taken after extended use of testosterone. The news sent shockwaves through the baseball world, as Manny was one of the last few sluggers not associated with PED's. Juan Pierre will take Manny's place in the lineup, and Xavier Paul will be called up from Triple-A to serve as the fourth outfiedler.
