Manny Ramirez Stimulates Albuquerque

He's not even a shoe-in to play -- but the mere rumor that suspended L.A. Dodgers cheater Manny Ramirez will make his baseball comeback with a AAA team in New Mexico is already sending ticket sales "through the roof."

Manny Ramirez

After the L.A. Times reported Manny would join the Albuquerque Isotopes line-up on Tuesday, a rep for the team told us phones began ringing off the hook for tickets and a line formed "around the block 30 minutes before the box-office opened its doors." FYI -- the rep told us the Dodgers haven't officially confirmed Manny's return.

Manny is currently serving a 50-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug back in May -- and the reason the Dodgers would send him to the minor leagues would be to ease him back into form.

Meanwhile, the Manny-less Dodgers have the best record in baseball.

16. The San Bernardino Sun (CA) said he would be coming to the 66'rs minor league for a warmup. The site was closer to LA and more convenient. Who knows where he'll show up...perhaps Florida, where his home is?

23. Can MLB please put an end to the All Star Game practice of allowing all the Players from the Dominican Republic (source of nearly all Steroid users) bring their 10 kids to the game and lay and run all around the playing field?

I think we've been bamboozled by that Country and its Culture of Cheats long enough now. MLB should start developing their own Country's Minority Players instead of going to near 3rd world places like the DR and getting scoundrels who can cheat and look you right in the eye and say prove it....Ok Sammy Sosa it has been proven.

Though this scumbag Ramirez went to HS in NYC he's still from the DR. Manny being Manny actually means; dogging it, being lazy, loudmouthed, rude to others, non team player, dont run out grounders, dont run down balls over your head.

His way of "playing" better be a thing of the past, or thst chicken little look the other way Joe Torre should be run out of town with the bum.

Please, no more "Manny being Manny" ever accepted again from any single player in this league ever again. And especially if there is any DR in their blood. That Country has made a mockery of our Nations Game.

Have fun with Sammy Sosa as your President and Manny as Minister overseeing Cockfighting.

24. Have Ramirez do several PSA on the dangers of PED in English and Espanol. Have all of the players do that.
Maybe some community service in high schools, Babe Ruth league. I think that type of service would go a long way for the athlete, MLB, and the community.

28. I am a longtime Los Angeles Dodgers fan. I have been going to Dodger Stadium since the 1975 Major League Baseball season. That sucks Manny Rameriz got suspended and he deserves it. I saw Manny Rameriz as a Los Angeles Ddogers twice last at Dodger Stadium in both games on different night Manny Rameriz did not hit a home run.
