I know the series isn't over yet, but if Texas does end up beating the Yankees and making it to the World Series, can we all give it up for Ron Washington, a true inspiration for all the kids out there? Any time you have a manager of a team playing in the World Series who tests positive for cocaine, but faces no repurcussions from the major leagues, you have to respect the man.
I figured maybe after no-nonsense Nolan Ryan bought the team, there might be some sort of punishment, but then I remembered that Nolan played during the cocaine days. The fact that he didn't institute any sort of punishment or even make a statement probably means he partied like a rock-star back then as well. Which wouldn't be surprising- given all of his strikeouts and no-hitters, I'm sure he needed a little pick-me-up between innings a bunch of times. Much like Josh Hamilton did before each of his home runs during the ALCS... once an addict, always an addict...
