Manny Ramirez Is Passionate About Free Tickets

I've seen The Amityville Horror enough times to know that something supernatural must be going in Houston's Minute Maid Park. First Shawn Chacon snaps and tackles Astros' GM Ed Wade in the home clubhouse, where an attempted strangling may or may not have occurred. Chacon was shipped to the North Pole the next day. And now it comes to light that Manny Ramirez went after the Red Sox traveling secretary on Saturday in the Minute Maid visitors' clubhouse; knocking him to the ground when Ramirez was told that he wasn't going to get the number of complimentary tickets he had requested.

Manny's 500th Homer Inspires Bouts Of Tumbling

If you don't properly fumigate for Red Sox fans, they'll show up in droves at your stadium. Take cautionary measures, people. That was the case last night at Camden Yards, as the vermin all packed in for a chance to see Manny Ramirez's 500th homaaaahhh. And the high-fivin' one came through. One guy at least was excited enough to execute a somersault on the Sawx dugout. I'm kind of surprised Manny didn't join him. More »

Talking To Manny's High Five Friend

Whatever your thoughts about Manny Ramirez and the Boston Red Sox, you had to love Manny's wild, patented "great catch, followed by high five, followed by doubling off a runner from first base" play from Wednesday. It was a signature Manny moment; insane, absurd, joyous. But what about the fan he high fived? More »

Ah, Manny, Manny, Manny


From today's Orioles-Red Sox game: If there has ever been a more definitive Manny Ramirez moment in his career, we can't think of one.

The Ballad Of Manny And Lefty

Well, it was bound to happen ... a columnist has mentioned "Boston Red Sox" and "Phil Mickelson" in the same sentence. Send all brickbats, white-powdered missives and death curses to Michael Ventre, who went ahead and declared the Red Sox "The Phil Mickelson of baseball." Wow. More »

It's Tough To Type While Wearing A Mitt

We don't have an iPhone, because we're quite happy with our iPod and our cellphone being happy and separate, thank you very much. (Also: A little pricey.) Most people we know who have one tend to enjoy them, but they've had a bit of an issue with the lack of a keyboard.

When you combine this with Peter Gammons' recent report than baseball players are buying the iPhone like crazy, well, you've got an instant classic Dugout. The premise: Baseball players were having enough trouble typing as was.

Gammondorf: Yoi can type pretry well if you spend enougj timw typing yourt message. That last sentence toik me 25 mimutes.

pr0ff3ss0r_f4rnsw0rth: Htf is franswirth mclane supoosed to talk loke a jaded basass if it uppertcases all my thoights and wishers.

It makes sense, though, that the iPhone would be the way Manny Ramirez would truly be able to communicate his deeper nature.

Water Covers 70 Percent Of The Earth's Surface; Manny Covers The Rest

Using his uncanny speed and catlike reflexes, Manny Ramirez could probably patrol the entire outfield by himself if he wanted to. But that would probably just dishearten the other two guys and cause team dissension, so he restricts himself to left. In fact, like Clark Kent, Manny has to tone it down out there so that no one suspects that he has superhuman abilities. Yes, he tones it down a lot. Quite a lot. A TON. You're killin' us, Smalls!

If Detroit Pitchers Played All Nine Positions ...

We have to agree with Bugs and Cranks: Seeing a truly awful defensive play in baseball is darned near as good as seeing a truly great one. The site's Lead Glove Awards are out, and once again we see Manny Ramirez in a place of honor. A couple of our favorite lines: More »

Boston Media Will Now Officially Cover Anything (And So Will We)

Because no Boston Red Sox stone shall be left unturned over NESN, Scott's Shots points out an odd video that features Manny getting intimate in his hotel room — watch yo mouth! — with his hairdresser, named LMonstro. (You have to sit through an annoying ad to watch the video.) More »

It Tastes Like The Back Of A LA School Bus

Ever wonder what it would be like to see Manny Ramirez savor the aroma of fine wine? (Manny, that's not grape juice ... Manny ... Manny ....) Get yourself to Yawkey Way tomorrow to see three Red Sox show off their new wines. It will be nice to see Schilling use a spit cup for something other than chaw.

Manny Will Be Manny, Just Not In Pittsburgh

Far be it from us to imply that someone isn't taking the All-Star Game seriously. But the facts are these: Manny Ramirez was the top vote-getter in the American League this year. And Manny isn't going. He says he has a sore knee, so you know, count him out. We know you are shocked by these developments, just as you were in 2000 when he didn't play, and in 2003. There is a move afoot, actually, to remove Ramirez from future All-Star ballots unless he promises to attend, according to Boston Globe columnist Ron Borges. More »

Ah, the Joys of Baseball Trade Rumors

We're admittedly a little tingly about this rumored Abreu-for-Manny-for-Miggy scuttlebutt that's been tossed around, oh, the last couple months. As a Philly fan, it'd be easy to see the town completely embracing Ramirez. Granted, they'll get on him about that whole "hustle" thing, but the same complaints have been made about Abreu for years anyway. Yes, Abreu on paper looks like a fantasy player's wet dream and a perfect addition to any other team, but there will be absolute rejoicing on Broad Street if Ramirez comes to town. And plus Matt Clement is involved in the trade rumor as well. We also love pitchers who almost get killed by line drives. It'll be like the halcyon days of Norm Charlton all over again. More »
