oh manny…

I’m on vacation this week so I’ve been watching wayyyy more ESPN than usual. Yesterday, the worldwide leader spent the day vomiting up Brett Favre to the Vikings news and it was nauseating. I was pretty sure I was in for the same diet of regurgitation today. Oh how wrong I was… I was making [...]

t.j. simers knows me so well

I really love this column. I’m not being facetious, I really love it. In fact, I’m surprised someone out in la la land didn’t write it sooner. I’ve been waiting for someone in LA to articulate what I knew they’ve been thinking about the Manny situation:
When Manny Ramirez reported for Dodgers duty he tried to [...]

manny finally signs, national nightmare ends

They can say whatever they want, but Manny Ramirez and Scott Boras lost. “Gas is up and so am I.” No. You’re not. As Bill Plaschke pointed out in the Los Angeles Times:
He wanted as many as five years — he agreed to less than half of that.
He wanted as much as $100 million — [...]

manny has a family to feed, right?

Great opinion piece by Scott Soshnick on Bloomberg.com on Manny. Here’s a snippet:
This whole episode rekindles unpleasant memories of former basketball player Latrell Sprewell, who in 2004 turned down the Minnesota Timberwolves’ offer of $21 million over three years. Insulting, was the word used by Sprewell, who made matters worse by rationalizing his rejection by [...]

manny turns down dodgers for third time

In this horrible economy mind you — Manny Ramirez has rejected the Los Angeles Dodgers’ one-year, $25 million offer.
In what completely bizarro world is $25 million dollars not enough? What. a. friggin. tool. I spit on his grave.

egos are up and so is manny’s

Just when I think Manny has sunk as low as he can sink in my eyes, he goes and tops himself. Following the Dodgers getting bounced out of the playoffs, Manny answers inquiries about his future:
“I want to thank the fans for their great support. I think it was a great trade.”
“I’m not talking, guys. [...]

i love you curt schilling

I just listened to the Curt Schilling radio interview where he blasts SPEAKS THE TRUTH about former teammate, Manny Ramirez. It is truly spectacular. I read about it at WickedPissaDude.com, but hadn’t had a chance to check it out. I was reminded about it this morning, because I’m watching First Take on ESPN and it [...]

manny is right where he ought to be… in the spotlight

I’m scared that the most interesting thing about the Red Sox was Manny Ramirez because since he left, I find myself with absolutely nothing to write about. Jason Bay is great. He’s another consistent lunch pail guy with a fantastic work ethic. Christ, what am I supposed to do with that? Schilling used to provide [...]

the truth on mike & mike

Ok, let’s just face facts here. I’m a delinquent blogger. I think I’ll blog a lot more when the NFL and NBA start up again. Every time I even think about blogging these days its to bitch about Manny Ramirez. I think he’s clearly occupied enough real estate on my blog already. I spend a [...]
