In Reply to: To the Manny doubters, so is Pujois off the juice in 2nd half also? posted by OldBruin on October 08, 2009 at 23:07:19
The writer pointed out that Manny Ramirez got hit by a pitch on the wrist a short time after he resumed the season. What was interesting is that the writer said that the difference in the "before and after" hitting stats for Ramirez is greater when measured from the wrist injury than when measured from the suspension.
The other thing to remember is that Ramirez was not busted for being on the juice. He was busted for being on the stuff you take to recover from being on the juice. So, he wasn't using steroids in the first half of the season.
