Alex Rodriguez Unloads On First Pitch

The visual evidence speaks for itself below.

A-Rod must have made up his mind before he stepped in to swing at the first pitch.

That decision really paid off.

A-Rod homered on the first pitch he saw of his 2009 MLB Season. It was a three run homer to left field, that gave the Bronx Bombers a 3-0 lead. After a Johnny Damon RBI, the score became 4-0 Yankees. We finally saw the C.C. Sabathia the Yankees paid all of that money for, as he had eight strikeouts in a complete game shutout.

The AL East had better look out! The Yankees Are Coming!

"Mannywood" Closed Down For 50 Games

Mannywood will not return for a while.

Manny Ramirez has become the latest person to be suspended for Performance Enhancing Drugs.

Manny became suspended for 50 games following use of a Performance enhancing drug.

Manny has released a ststement. Here it is below.
"Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons.

"I want to apologize to Mr. McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, Mr. Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation."

The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently 13-0 at home this season, a new Major League Baseball record. Manny Ramirez seemed to homer in just about every one of these games, so we will now see how the Dodgers will respond to this setback.

On to Manny himself: He claims the doctor said it would be okay to give him. He should have checked with Major League Baseball to determine if the drug was okay. Of course, that is if Manny's excuse is legit, but I don't think it is.

The Dodgers are going to miss Manny Being Manny, at least for a while.
