Manny Ramirez was once considered one of the greatest right-handed hitters in Major League history. But an unceremonious exist out of Boston, coupled with two steroid suspensions, and now a domestic violence arrest, Manny’s fall from grace is complete.

According to TMZ, Ramirez was arrested [...]

Seemingly out of nowhere Tampa Bay Rays outfielder/designated hitter Manny Ramirez announced his retirement Friday. Well, it came out of nowhere until Major League Baseball acknowledged that it recently notified Ramirez of “an issue” under its drug prevention program.

“Major League Baseball recently[...]

When defining this offseason, I think we will define it as a player’s market. We have seen aces, pseudo aqes, mediocre bullpen guys, and not quite superstars get paid like superstars.

It seems like everyone at every position has made out this offseason. Every position that is except DH. With a renewed emphasis on speed and defense that [..]

For the past week, the Chicago White Sox made no secret that they wanted Manny Ramirez to be their DH for the remainder of the season.
After some waiver formalities and some back and forth, yesterday they finally made it happen.
The White Sox acquired Ramirez yesterday on a straight waiver claim from [...]

As I write this, I’m sitting in a small apartment we’re renting (on the ultra-cheap) here in Paris for a few days before winding up our month-long European adventure. Woke up this morning at 4 to catching a 6:55 flight from Gerona, Spain to France. Was sorta sad to leave, but the drooling cat was too much. She meowed at all hours, and maggots started attacking her food dish. It’s why I have a dog.

The Dodgers find themselves in an unusual position: worrying about making the playoffs. LA surged early in the season, building a double-digit lead on its punchless division rivals. But following a recent Mets-esque freefall the Blue Crew finds itself only two games ahead of the surging Rockies in the NL West.

All you folks who have been hanging on for dear life to Manny Ramirez, waiting patiently for his return to your fantasy roster while the rest of your outfield pretty much sucked? You can breathe easy once again.

Those 50 games he was forced to sit out after testing positive for stupidity are finally over, as he’ll be back in the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup Friday against Chad Gaudin and the San Diego Padres. Manny is batting a career .455 (5-for-11) against the right-hander, with two homers, three RBI and 2 walks. Not bad.

While the baseball world looks disdainfully at Manny Ramirez, life goes on as usual for self-proclaimed cheater, liar, and breaker-of-rules Alex Rodriguez. It seems like a perversion of justice, not to mention integrity of the game itself, that Rodriguez gets a bye.

Manny Ramirez is an idiot.

Hopefully we all can agree on that statement. He’s shown us with his actions and made it clear with the words flying out of his stupid head: the ones that obviously don’t make a pit-stop in his brain before they spill out of his mouth.

Manny Ramirez says he doesn’t want to be a distraction, yet he keeps opening his stupid mouth.

The Los Angeles Dodgers borderline brain-dead slugger hung out with a few reporters Tuesday and discussed his future in baseball. When asked about his recent 50-game suspension, he had this to say…

“That’s in the past. Whatever happened, that’s in the past and I’m coming to play my game and move on. I don’t want to be a distraction for this team.”
