Manny Ramirez Fails To Notice That In The National League, Games Are Nine Innings
First of all, this is not the Manny Meltdown that we've all been expecting. Repeat: Meltdown still pending. But it's comical nonetheless.

Even though Jason Whitlock (and plenty of others) think the re-teaming of Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick is a colossally bad idea, I'm still hopeful.
