Manny Ramirez retirement puts a sad end for an impressive but troubled career
Previously, Ramirez was probably the most captivating everyone in the game. Actually, he held that status for any decade or even more. But that period ended with his suspension for any positive drug test in May 2009. It marked the finish of his Hollywood honeymoon with the La Dodgers.
Since that time, he been some mixture of caricature,[url=http://duveticamen.blogspot.com/][b]duvetica men[/b][/url], footnote and has-been.
The state cause of termination,[url=http://parajumperssalenorge.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Long Bear Online[/b][/url], so to speak,[url=http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/][b]Duvetica piumini italy online[/b][/url], was another under Major League Baseball drug treatment program. Apparently, Manny didn wish to appeal.
Too bad he didn take the clue from his performance this past year, when pitchers in both leagues indicated that Ramirez,[url=http://monclerjackenonlinech.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerjackenonlinech.albirank.net/[/b][/url], not even close to his competitive peak, couldn even hit for power like an ordinary left fielder.
In 90 games last season for that Dodgers and Chicago White Sox, he hit just nine home runs. The .460 slugging percentage was his lowest within the majors since a cameo in 1993, when he would be a 21-year-old rookie.
He must have known then. Frankly,[url=http://monclerjackenonlinech.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Weste Billig Österreich[/b][/url], the Tampa Bay Rays should have known then. Instead, the edges agreed on a one-year contract that was supposed to bring power to the lineup and excitement in the gate.
When the Rays and Red Sox met this spring, David Ortiz saw uncle and thought he is at of the best shapes I ever seen him. The Boston dugout was impressed by his approach. was the Manny Ramirez everybody knew, said Ortiz,[url=http://duveticaitaliaoutlet.webmium.com/][b]http://duveticaitaliaoutlet.webmium.com/[/b][/url], his longtime Red Sox teammate.
But Manny batted .059 in five games and disappeared,[url=http://peutereyoutletitaliaonline.olimx.com/][b]Peuterey Uomo Jacket[/b][/url].
man,[url=http://monclerjackenonlinech.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Jacken Günstig[/b][/url], Ortiz told reporters after the Red Sox (finally) won on Friday. was the very last thing I was expecting, for him to retire and go through all the situations.
"I don fully realize the facts,[url=http://discountnikesoccershoes.webmium.com/][b]Nike Soccer Shoes online[/b][/url], how everything went down. It sad. To see a player with this much talent,[url=http://monclerjackenonlinech.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Weste Billig[/b][/url], and an unbelievable career, get out of the overall game with negativity . . . don yet know what the positive test was for. However it almost doesn matter. His credibility, which zeroed out with his suspension two years ago, has become somewhere within the negative integers together with his chances of enshrinement within the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, that what happened to one of the best hitters of this generation.
There's always been a goofy, likable side to Manny Ramirez. We loved watching him hit, whether he wore a flattop or dreadlocks, so long as he wasn facing the most popular teams. He would be a 12-time All-Star. He was the planet Series MVP once the Red Sox broke The Curse.
And yet, the steroids are just as much part of his legacy because the statistics.
We reside in a society that loves to criticize its heroes perhaps even more than cheer for them. Ramirez retirement will prompt snarky tweets, goofy Photoshop images and cheap one-liners. A man reputation is getting trampled. It quite tragic, actually.
