After a 5-game hiatus due to an abdominal tear, Cameron didn’t seem affected. Whether or not Cameron will be in the line up on Monday in Cleveland is still undecided. “We lost,” he said. “It was good to get out there and play. [My performance] helped us in a sense, but at the same time we lost the game.”
“Sexiness and color,” Cameron stated with big smile.
Manager Terry Francona responds to reporters how his reactions to Cameron making it through 11 long MLB innings “That was a great catch. He looked really healthy. I know he’s feeling it a bit and we kept checking with him as the game went on, but he went and got that ball pretty well.” Read More >>
Ramirez hCG Prescription Scapegoat denies
Dr. Pedro P. Bosch had been linked to the Manny Ramirez investigation, and was being looked into the DEA. How did he fit into the picture exactly? It was said that he was the source of the prescribed drug Manny Ramirez was caught taking to hide his use of steroids.
Manny Ramirez had stated after the accidental uncovering, “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 investigation has become complex, yet it only looks to get harder for both the MLB and the DEA as they seek the truth in this matter, despite Bosch breaking his silence the facts remain to be uncovered. Ramirez whom is looking to focus on the future in completion of his 50 game suspension may not be able to shake the fact that he is now part of a bigger investigation that will only continue to carry his name.
“ESPN even ran a clip showing me as I was leaving my office and getting into my car,” Bosch said in a statement issued through a Miami publicist. “I consider the allegations of ESPN outrageous and slanderous, and issue this statement to correct the misrepresentations made by ESPN.”
