Yahoo! reports that it'll be July 3... Against the Padres.

According to Manny's statement, he took a prescription from a doctor that apparently contains a banned substance....

Yep, I turned on the radio this morning expecting to here about the B's & Sox losing, and the Celts' winning. But Thanks Manny for making sports radio interesting this day. :hehe: It was so much fun listening. The local station were giving out free tickets to tonight's Sox game to the 24th caller in "honor" of Manny, I guess 99 seemed too much of a hassle. Manny being Manny, huh. :rofl:

As a Dodger fan living in the San Francisco Bay Area this has not been fun... I work amongst nothing but Giants fans and boy am I hearing at work and on Facebook...sucks.

Probably more so since the Giants are looking up in the standings and seeing the Dodgers running away in the West (so far). :mrgreen:

Manny gets suspended.

Dodgers on the verge of losing for the first time at home this season after the bullpen implodes, giving up 11 runs in the last four innings. :shakehead:

Coincidence?

Yup. I was at the game.(got my "free"* radio) Left after the sixth inning Dodgers comfortably ahead 6-1, by the time I get home it was 8-6 Washington!! :bonk: [/list:u] (* some radio, it only picks up KABC, the Dodgers' flagship station) [/list:u]

Maybe you shouldn't have left, 'cause they crashed and burned after you did... :sweat:

I've heard of a one-trick pony, but a one-station radio?? :crazy:

The funny thing is, the Dodgers have some kind of promo with Jack in the Box, if they win by more than 3 runs you get 3 mini burgers for "free" (gotta purchase a drink, always read the fine print). But you don't get the coupon until the game is over as you're leaving. When I got up to go, some guy said to me, "Aren't you gonna stick around for the free burgers?" I wonder what he was thinking along about the 8th inning? [/list:u]

How pathetic! MLB really needs to ban these players for life.

Dodgers lose to the Giants, 3-1.

Dodgers are 0-2, post-Manny. :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

Reportedly, that banned substance is a women's fertility drug. Perhaps Manny was considering an operation for a certain change ...

Dodgers come back and win 8-0 on a 4-hitter by Eric Stults and some of the worst fielding by Giants' outfielders. They were kicking the ball around so much I thought it was a soccer game.

Gehh, I had no idea the game was in the afternoon: I just caught the sign-off with Fox showing the score. :sweat:

Hope the Giants win today and take the series :fingerscrossed:
One of the Giants announcers said that the Dodgers have the "Shock and Awe" offense, Giants have the "Scratch and Claw" offense :rofl:
