The Real McCoy: Arroyo opens up about Manny Ramirez

You better stop, it is the wrong ‘em Arroyo.

“At this point in his career and from what has gone on with testing and stuff since 2004, I’m surprised Manny got caught up in this,” he said. “Manny likes to act pretty stupid, but he is a pretty bright guy who is definitely aware of a lot of things. He tried to act like he is completely oblivious, but he isn’t.

...Reds manager Dusty Baker just shook his head and said, “Fifty days is a long time and that’s really going to hurt the Dodgers and it is going to hurt his reputation. I just hate it that another star goes down. We sure can’t afford to have any more heroes go down.”

Added Arroyo: “This is just affirmation over and over again that steroids and human performance drugs are rampant in the game. What are you going to do? People tend to think when we in baseball go home in the off-season, the Cincinnati Reds are watching us every day, watching us individually over what we do and what we put in our body and how we workout. Everybody has their own program and their own life and do their own things. And honestly, in the locker room, guys who are best friends have no idea what goes on in the other guys’ personal lives. By the time you get to this level, everybody has learned to hide what they don’t want people to know about.”

Scary. Very scary.

Excellent. We need the Clash to hit Broadway, instead of PED experts from MLB.

You said you're clean
(You know what I mean)
But tell me something
I don't understand
Your big ol' head don't
Fit in its cap
And now there's acne
All over your back

Well some things you can't explain away
And the ball-shrink's with you to this day-yay-yay

You don't seem too clean
No, not at all
You don't seem too clean
No way

He's not free. Borris is still demanding at least the league minimum.

Scary. Very scary.

"Scary"? Really?

That seems a little off as far as a reaction to that quote.

When I'm benchin' in my gym
And that man pulls out the needle
He's tellin' me more and more
About some steroid information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no lanosterol
I can't get no slanosterol
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my biceps
And that man calls out my backne
How ripped my pecs can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't inject
The same steroids as me
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say
