The second week of the baseball season brought fans the second positive drug test of Manny Ramirez. But instead of sitting through a 100-game suspension and possible investigations, he decided to call it quits. Signing with the Tampa Bay Rays in the off-season, Ramirez went 1-for-17 in his final five games. Was this a smart move for him, or is it just another case of Manny being Manny?
I say it was a smart move. Sure, he probably had some home runs left in the tank, but I highly doubt he would have been the deciding factor in a Tampa Bay championship season (he would only play in 62 games). I'm sure there's a lot of disappointment from fans from Boston to LA, but at nearly 40 years old it was probably for the best. Heck, even I'm disappointed. I never got a chance to buy one of those Manny Ramirez dreads caps. Manny, just keep being Manny.
