Manny Ramirez, the worst defensive player in the game and possibly biggest Bush-leaguer is 4th in the initial all-star voting. Manny is of course serving a 50 game suspension for a failed drug test. He tested positive for a women's fertility drug, which is used by many steroid users to restart cycles. Word is they worked and that he's also having twin boys. He hasn't thought of names for the little tikes yet. But seriously, how is this dope in 4th for all-star voting. A guy has even made a website in support (http://www.voteformanny.blogspot.com/)
The three players he is trailing are Ryan Braun, Alfonso Soriano, and Carlos Beltran. If this guy makes it in it will be horrible for the sport. Really showing that fans don't give two shits about the steroid issue that is ruining the integrity of the game. I know that the Phillies play in a verryyyyyyy hitter friendly field but look at Raul Ibanez' stats (.347 BA, 17HR, 44 RBI) and tell me that isn't more impressive then Manny's 50 game suspension and cheating. He's a joke.
