According to the L.A. Times, Ramirez is likely going to blame the positive test on medication he received from a doctor for personal medical use, whatever that means. It could be anything, really. Perhaps a false positive or a too-close-for-comfort drug sparked a positive test. Guilty until poven innocent, and all that. But in the case of public opinion vs. Jose Canseco, this is yet ...

Certainly, we can look askance at the really unnatural Bonds-like career patterns, but ultimately, I ...

Ethier leads the team with 27 RBIs, and James Loney is tied with Manny with 20. Now is the time to see if Rafael Furcal, Russell Martin and Casey Blake can fill the void.
