ESPN is reporting this now. Few details so far...
RBIs are like an intelligence test. If you think RBIs are important or that they measure something about hitter performance, then you fail. And I think that that is true for probably 2/3 to 3/4 of GMs right now. They do not look at RBIs at all. - Keith Law, WEEI 10-25-09

Ramirez is expected to attribute the test results to medication received from a doctor for a personal medical issue, according to a source familiar with matter but not authorized to speak publicly.

With the suspension taking effect with tonight's game at Dodger Stadium, Ramirez will not be eligible to return to the team until July 3.

I just saw this on Espn/sportscenter. Wow.
50 games.
They've called up a replacement from their minor league team.

From the article:

Manny Ramirez has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and will be suspended 50 games starting today, The Times has learned.

The test result and suspension is expected to be announced later today. The Dodgers informed triple-A outfielder Xavier Paul this morning that he was being promoted to Los Angeles.

I wonder how #1 fanboy Bill Simmons is taking this.

Gerry Callahan also just popped a bone.

Wow, unbelievable. It is tough to pass judgement without knowing what the drug is.

Yea, whoops. Typed it quickly.

Not much else to say than this flat out sucks. Another black eye for baseball.

Of course it will call in to question the Red Sox years.

This should create a media circus for a while.

Yeah, well, sometimes it is. I'd rather hold this girl's hand then go back for a second dip on 90% of the grade-D STD-factory pussy I've stuck it in over my lifetime. She's so far out of my league, though, I mentally refer to myself as "Javier Lopez" when she's around. -- JimBoSox9

37 year old playing some of the best baseball of his career. Can't say this is entirely shocking.
"Fuck the World Series," said Mauer. "Seriously. Write that down. Fuck the World Series. If I ever win a World Series ring, I will literally just take it and fuck the tiny ring-hole." Mauer punctuated his remarks with a graphic, thrusting pantomime, presumably of what he would physically do to the World Series ring.

50 games =1/3 of $20 mil = $6 mil
wonder if his player option vests or if it had outs in it.
