I loved Manny. I believed in Manny. I used to say that amidst all this pharmacuetically enhanced baseball that has been going on in the last decade or so, that Manny, for all his Manny being Manny, was the one guy you could trust that was all legit.
Why did I trust Manny? Sure he was kind of crazy, but he had this real savant quality to him. Like, A-Rod is all calculation. So was Bonds. But Manny, he seemed like such a natural. That, and he was never really in all that great of shape. I felt that maybe you couldn’t trust the buff guys, but at least the flabby guys you could.
That’s all out the window now. If even the flabby guys are juicing, then you really trust anybody. Sure technically Manny didn’t do steroids of HGH, but I did a little research on what he did take and apparently the medication he did take, which is used to increase testosterone prodcution in men with abnormally low testosterone levels, is really only taken by men who either have erectile dysfuction or have abused steroids in the past and have destroyed their testoterone. Never have I wished and prayed so hard for a man to have ED, but, like the pre Manny Dodgers winning a pennant, I definately feel like I’m hoping against hope.
You broke my heart Manny, and unlike Celine Dion, I don’t think my heart will go on.
