Ortiz too now

Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, the sluggers who propelled the Boston Red Sox to end an 86-year World Series championship drought and to capture another title three years later, were among the roughly 100 Major League Baseball players to test positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003, according to lawyers with knowledge of the results.

Now this is the thing, besides Ortiz out-right hypocrisy and lying here.

This list was suppose to be anonymous FOREVER. And yet, here are two more names leaked out to the world from this list. The Union should be ashamed of themselves for this.

More to come later.

Update: A lot of people will unintelligently came that the Yankees and Red Sox were in a race on the field, and in the lab, like this guy.

Now this, Greg Mitchell, is a good provocative journalist, from time to time. But he can be an idiot on things outside of politics. And this is just one of those areas. Alex Rodriguez wasn't on the Yankees in 2003. He was still with the Rangers.

The one person on the Yankees who was accused of steroids was Jason Giambi at that time. No one else.
