Manny Ramirez has looked impressive in his morning workouts at Dodger Stadium, according to two people who have been allowed past security guards to watch. "He looks incredible. The best I've ever seen him," said one. while team officials paint Ramirez as contrite and filled with angst over his suspension, those who have seen him practice saw something different. "He's in good spirits," said one. "He seems very happy, laughing and joking." Ramirez's workouts reportedly last about 90 minutes each morning and consist mainly of hitting against live pitching, agility drills and some weight lifting.

Of course he looks good - he's been resting while the non-cheating MLB players have been busting their humps to win games....

Its not like he was in a terrible accident and he's coming back from 6 months in the hospital...

Why should he even be allowed into a MLB stadium....he is suspended for cheating; he got caught. When will MLB wake up and "get it?"

Roids + extended rest and training time will make you look phenomenal. He is still a cheat and a ****.

He never took steroids; he had a doctors' prescription for the drug he took; and the Union, his agent, and all his closest friends wanted him to fight it, but Manny wanted to be sure to be back for the second half and the playoffs. Manny is not a cheat. A Rod, Clemens, Pettit, Giambi, Maguire, Sousa, Canseco and Bonds are cheats. MLB needs to relook at their drug testing and other related policies as this should not have happened to Manny.

Go Manny And the heck with all you Manny haters (likely all Yankee fans frustrated at their own club's failings).

Are you that nieve? He was caught using human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a fertility drug for women that has been known to be used by athletes to generate the body's production of testosterone after steroid use. There's really no other reason to take the drug unless you've been juicing. He's a CHEAT!!!!

Oh, the get it alright... if they really did consistent testing on a regular basis I believe they
