Attention Baseballers...

NEW YORK (AP) - "Manny Ramirez was suspended for 50 games by Major League Baseball on Thursday, becoming the latest high-profile player ensnared in the sport's drug scandals.

The commissioner's office didn't announce the specific violation by the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder, who will lose about one-third of his $25 million salary.

"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," Ramirez said in a statement issued by the players' union."

ATTENTION DEMOCRATS...

In other news, President Barack Obama has sent staffers to interview Manny Ramirez to gauge any possible interest he'd have with signing on to a high cabinet-level position with the DEA.
