WOW. Just hit ESPN, which is citing the Times.

Suspension begins immediately.

Good call. I'm sure we're going to get the news on Pujols soon enough.

Interesting that this breaks on an off day for the Dodgers

He just hasn't been caught yet.

But holy ****ing **** on Manny. You've got to be pretty ****ing stupid to get caught.
