David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez Reported to Have Tested Postitive for PED's

Wow, does this now help to explain the power outage that was seen at the beginning of the season from the Big Papi? This does dampen the thoughts about how both Ramirez and Ortiz contributed to ending the curse in Boston in 2004 and the championship that the won together in 2007. Are every World Series teams from the past two decades now going to be in question due to the numerous reported links to alleged steroid users? It seems like we are headed in that direction. I know that some writer's have hinted at the thought of both Dominican sluggers being users ever since Manny failed a drug test and was suspended earlier this year (such as one Bill Simmons eerily suggested), but I don't beleive anyone thought that definative proof would actually come out so soon. Hopefully all of the rest of the names on the list can come out so that the baseball world doesn't have to play as many guessing games as it has had ove these past recent years.


It's too bad some of the game's best moments in recent memory had to be caught up with this whole ordeal.
