Wow, I am shocked!

I am not. This may be the best thing happening to the Rays.

Huh, never saw this coming.
I would imagine a call up of Desmond Jennings would be next, moving Damon to DH.

Wow, couldn't believe it when I saw this thread, haha. Very shocking and unexpected, but this is probably a good thing for the Rays.

I wonder how he'll feel when they tell him he won't be paid for the rest of the year.

I don't feel sorry for him!Ramirez tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in spring training, according to Michael Schmidt of the New York Times, citing two people briefed on the matter. Ramirez was suspended for 50 games in 2009 for violating the drug policy and a second infraction would have resulted in a 100-game ban.
