You talkin' smack about Manny
Ramirez?!? Manny plays hard, he does run out ground balls, he doesn't dog it on defense (like another Red Sox backup left fielder) and he even agreed to play left field against his preferences. [/B][/QUOTE]Uh,Chuck,don't they have newspapers and television in your area?
Yes,that would be the same Manny Ramirez that got fined yesterday by the Bosox for not even taking one step to first base after hitting a come-backer to the pitcher on Monday.The same guy that really should have the nickname "Trot" for the way he goes after fly balls.The same Manny that has routinely turned doubles into singles this year.
Check out this morning's Boston Globe on line.There's a whole bunch of "Manny" stories in there,by several different columnists.None of them are exactly what you would call "complimentary".I know that the Boston press can be critical,but this guy deserves everything he gets.
He's a dog,Chuck,imo.
