Manny to Boston, Youk: Lo Siento Mucho, Bros

Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and internets to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.

• During Friday night's hurricane delay, Manny Ramirez of the White Sox apologized to the Red Sox of Boston. Aw.

"I think everything was my fault," Ramirez said. "But, hey, you've got to be a real man to realize when you do wrong. Hey, it was my fault. I'm already past that stage and I'm happy with my new team." [ ESPN.com]

He also admitted he apologized to Kevin Youkilis for their confrontation in the dugout during a game in June 2008, one month before he was unceremoniously traded to the Dodgers. [ Boston Herald]

In the sun, they feel as one.

• A St. Louis professional baseball manager — let's call him Tony LaRussa — has had enough of people saying his boys are underachievers. They're just big-boned ... and 5.5 games back in the Wild Card race with 30 left. [ St. Louis Post-Dispatch]

"The Gatorade dunking was a shot to the head, which was a very fortunate thing indeed because I have such a hard head," Curry joked afterward. "Once I realized I was okay, it felt fine. We probably need some work on that." [Atlanta Journal Constitution]

• Baltimore Raven Ed Reed is PUP, yo. Harbaugh dreams of a world where Omar Little wasn't taken out by some kid named Kenard in a Korean deli. Lewis'd love him. [ Baltimore Sun]
