"The Office of the Commissioner and the Players Association have agreed that Ramirez will receive a 50-game suspension under the Joint Drug Program upon his reinstatement from the Voluntary Retired list,'' MLB said in a statement.

He tested positive during survey testing in 2003.

Caught once coming off a juice cycle again in 2009. Then the POS does it AGAIN, and when both samples test positive he decides to retire and end his appeal. He decides later he wants to end his short retirement stint.

And Bud Selig and the association agree to reduce his suspension? How incompetent can Bud Selig really be? His handling of the steroid era was bad, granted it was a shitty hand to be dealt. But even in the era now, he is weak.

Piece of shite Ramirez should have been kicked out the league permanently.

Ryan Braun juicing and lies...oh well only a 50 day vacation.

He gives Goodell a run for his money.

David Ortiz should have been banned 50 games too.

But Selig's worst move IMO is still interleague play.

Also I am a DH hater but honestly there is no way the players union will ever agree to get rid of the DH. As long as the NL still has it I am OK.

When Selig was an owner he was instrumental in the collusion by owners to reduce the value of free agency to the players. As a reward the other owners put him in the position supposed to look out for the best interests of baseball. As Commissioner Selig's job has been to look out for the best interests of the owners, and he has preformed well in that role.

Eliminating performance enhancing drugs from baseball would have impaired the value of the owners' investments. Selig couldn't allow that to happen. So baseball has this farcical substance abuse environment that tries to limit the damage while not preventing abuse.

In the last 3 years, Selig has become my favorite commissioner out of the current bunch. Silver has a chance but his mishandling of the Sterling situation keeps Bud #1. That just shows how bad they are.
