Manny Ramirez embodies everything that is great in baseball & America. Shut up already about the "Who cares?" quote and the ALCS G4 HR reaction. If you want someone who follows all the rules and always tries to do the right thing, root for the Yankees.

You Mess With The Bull..

Complete video of the Josh Beckett-Kenny Lofton dustup last night, including video of the incident itself, video of the home plate ump mic'ed up when he stepped between them, and video of the previous altercation between the two back in 2005.

Is Manny Really Being Manny?

Did Manny Ramirez really say he didn't care if the Red Sox lost the ALCS? Does he really understand what he did when he raised his arms after hitting that home-run the other night? Well, I went over to Boston.com this morning and read his comments in full:

This Just in...Beckett Has Balls

...and they're dirty big balls. Where have I seen this before? Josh Beckett on the mound, pressure cooking...game, season, dreams on the line. Oh wait, it happens every single time the dude steps on the hill during the post-season.

Manny Ramirez picks his nose

Let's watch as Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez demonstrates some personal grooming and hygiene in the Boston dugout. Video of the pick. And it's not a scratch. It's a Pick.

Steinbrenner hires Trump for firing purposes

NEW YORK, NY — Owner George Steinbrenner announced the newest member of the Yankee family Tuesday – real estate mogul Donald Trump. Steinbrenner said that while the hiring is largely due to the massive popularity of 'The Apprentice' in the clubhouse, he also has a special plan for Trump.

“Just when I thought Boras couldn’t get any stupider…” by Zachary Rubenstein

After botching the Manny Ramirez deal beyond repair, it hasn’t been easy going recently for Scott Boras. But even in the face of failure, Boras has managed to take his best client’s career to new heights. That’s right, I’m talking about A-Rod’s admission that he used steroids from 2001-2003. And let’s not allow the media to [...]

“Boras’ Blunder” by Zachary Rubenstein

Needless to say, I’m reveling in the fact that Boras has overestimated the value of his star client, Manny Ramirez. I’m so happy right now that my balls are literally tingling. Boras doesn’t misjudge the market this badly very often, so you’ve got to enjoy it while it does. Are we really to believe that there’s [...]

“Advantage: Boras” by Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein

There’s a lot to love about Manny Ramirez: the smooth swing, the sense of humor, the gorgeous flowing locks. But the reason why the Dodgers and Manny finally came to terms isn’t because of his abilities – it’s because of Scott Boras. In ’06, my sister’s soccer coach put her on the bench after drawing yellow [...]

MANNY BEING MANNY

Manny's Heading Over To The Darkside

As Steve will attest to, there’s nothing I like to do more here @ SOX & Dawgs than to use this picture of Scott Boras and as usual I have a good reason. A rumor had been circulating last month that Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez could possibly be switching agents and heading over to the [...]

Instead of cutting hair, Ramirez to wear new, technologically advanced Speedo suit

LOS ANGELES — In need of some more quickness and in an effort to comply with the Dodgers’ clean dress code, Manny Ramirez had been talking about cutting off the mountain of dreadlocked hair atop his head. In the last several days, however, Ramirez has abruptly changed course. After watching the Olympics “pretty much nonstop” [...]

Curt Schilling continues to piss people off

Nine days ago, during his weekly appearance on WEEI in Boston, Schilling ripped New Yorkers. Now with Manny Ramirez safely at a distance in Los Angeles, Schilling thought it would be a good time to air out what was going on in the Boston locker room... even though he wasn't there. The Bloody-socked one says a lot of things that most people agree with - like that Manny gave...
