Chris Young goes off on Manny, "fans shouldn't cheer"

Agree or disagree with the former Rangers' comments? Would you have booed Manny?
Manny Ramirez wasn't welcomed back with open arms by everyone at Petco Park.
There was a particularly strong voice of dissent in the San Diego Padres' clubhouse, that of pitcher Chris Young. Young said Sunday that he "absolutely" considered Ramirez a cheater.
"How else can you view it?" Young asked. "There's no black and white."
Young, who is on the disabled list, said he was particularly disappointed with the ovations Ramirez received over the weekend.
"I think it sends the wrong message to kids," Young said. "Juan Pierre should be the one getting those ovations, in my opinion."
Asked if he thought fans were becoming increasingly indifferent toward the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, Young replied, "If so, there may be a problem. It speaks to the severity of the illegal drug use in the game. I think that if fans have become desensitized to it, it shows how severe the problem was. It should be something that still has that shock value. It should still be considered an extremely negative and immoral thing. It shouldn't be accepted."

would neither cheer nor boo
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

they were still open to the governing of the office of the commissioner and US made them illegal close to a decade ago
the commissioner can do anything if it betrays the spirit of the game and he has far reaching leeway and the government made them illegal once it came upon them. not sure what people were supposed to do. Perhaps the MLB having a doctor openly discuss the benefits of steroid use to the MLBPA wasnt the proper way to go about showing your league discern for the product.
at some point some1 had to give a shit, its not the players job to police the sport, its not the governments job to police the sport, its the leagues, and they failed on that end. now the players will feel the brunt of it and the government has been forced to act. its all real sad, except that some people made money hand over fist and it was enough to make Sammy Sosa or McGuire look like poor trash in comparison and they wont ever face the blame to the extent the players will and are.
the shame is about the kids, won’t some1 think of the kids ;)

devil's advocate
why is Josh Gibson the true champ? Both whites and blacks played against diluted competition while they were separated. Gibson played his games against all kinds of teams of varying levels of competence, so I don’t think it’s at all right to just proclaim him the champ.
Bottom line, there is no pure era in baseball, it’s all tainted in some way. I know you weren’t really wanting a serious reply but I couldn’t resist.

no i totally understand/agree
but your 100% right, there is no pure era
and yea, his weakness i sthat he def played some games vs subpar competition, every player has a weakness to their arguement — except for, off the top of my head and like i said above/somewhere in here, jimmie foxx and hank greenburg,
that said, foxx hit 58 + hit screens ruth did not have to contend with, and without the screen he would have hit ~another 8 HR bringing his (potential) total to 66
In 1932 Foxx hit 58 homers; he might have hit more than 60 if not for a spell in August when he suffered from an injured wrist. Five times he hit the right field screen in St. Louis; the screen was not there when Ruth hit 60 HR in 1927. Also in 1932, a screen that Ruth hadn’t had to contend with was erected in left field in Cleveland. Reportedly, Foxx hit that at least three times.
per storied stadiums by curt smith, foxx actually hit the screen 12 times
per this book (9 feet from fame) the total number stolen by the screen was reported as anywhere from 3 to 12
so i crown jimmie foxx, he of “muscles in his hair” — lefty grove, as the MLB single season HR chamipion :)

Surely, somebody will hold him accountable for a 50-game suspension for violating baseball’s drug policy?
Numbnut – MLB held him accountable WITH a 50 game suspension. With all due respect to Grandpa Urine, Plashke might be the dumbest baseball writer out there.

yeah i think they do a ton. Did you ever play with guys who did roids? i did and it was like u could create the incredible hulk with that shit. seriously. it turns average athletes into 6’2’’ 255lb guys who run 4.6 40 times out of boderline athletes. ive seen it first hand and discussed the topic with many division 1 football players. its crazy the impact its shown to have on records, and its no coincidence that the way the game is played has changed just in the time since the testing started back to a purer version of the sport.
would i take juice to make the show? sure, its not even a question, im a crummy athlete and would need every benefit to come close to matching my peers other than when it came to on the field smarts. At the same time, i’ve lived my whole life working around the system as im sure most of you have and i can tell you that when you get burned doing so, you fulling expect to go down in a blaze.
There’s a way to prevent the lack of opinion and malaise in attitude among fans as well as force the compliance to a steroid free game and its to ban players for life on the 1st offense. 5 bucks says that solves the problem

Who cares
I think his snubbing his minor league teammates was worse than getting caught with a performance enhancer, myself. As many guys there are out there from Manny’s generation of players who’ve used PED’s… I care more about the fact that Manny is a giant douchenozzle than a juicer.

Meh
He’s just sore because in the last series in San Diego, more than half the fans were Dodger fans. And they were all cheering for Manny. You bet.

Fans cheer
because deep down fans don’t care if athletes take steroids if they are our guys. They’d just prefer not to hear about it.

+1 a thousand times +1
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Can we also dispense with the notion he served a 50 game suspension..
Last time I checked, I thought that suspension were honored by all leagues. I’m not sure why he was even allowed to “rehab” before his suspension was up.

not without the consent of baseball, correct?
he is held to his contract limitations regarding the ability to play with non MLB affiliated leagues, and if affiliated leagues were (obviously they werent) held to the standards of MLB suspensions, he wouldnt really have an option, which im pretty sure was the intention of the rules. i hate it when shit like this happens
I can't help it. I’m an asshole.
