Manny Are Called, Few Are Chosen

I LOVE this time of the baseball season. There are so many interesting things going on I don't have time to comment on everything.

I just HAVE to chime in on one of my favorite foils, ManRam, as that idiot Jim Rome calls the former 24 turned 99. I have heard more baloney in the last few days about this prima donna from The Heard, Bill Simmons, etc., that I feel it is about time someone from the HUB sets these guys straight.

Shaughnessy, in his column on the Jerk by the jerk, was very entertaining. I hope you don't need his Barf Bag after mine though. Here goes .............

LA, we are HAPPY that you have this guy !! In fact, we are soooooo happy that the RS agreed to pay his salary to play in Chavez Ravine. Boston tried many times to GIVE this jerk away, but never found any takers due to his ginormous salary. This time, PT Barnum was right, and the DAAAAAHGERS are the suckers. His Laziness is whacking the pea right now, but he usually does and that is not the issue. He is saying AND doing all the right things and LA could not be happier with him. A great clubhouse guy, consummate teammate, gives to charity (yikes, all he did here was TAKE, and not just on 3 and 0), life couldn't be better for team Scully. To top it all off, the Powder Blues have the best team in the National League by the throat ahead 2 naught.

Boston would have given him up for a beat up catcher's mitt. In the end, they got rid of THE PROBLEM, gave away two decent prospects to Pittsburgh, and received a very good BASEBALL PLAYER in Jason Bay. Since the addition by subtraction, the Crimson Hose have played very good baseball and continue to do so. The clubhouse and the players are GENUINELY happy. The sideshow antics have disappeared quicker than a Coco Crisp haircut (he's had a least 4 in the waning weeks of the season).

Back to the Dodgers. The modern day EDDIE HASKELL is acting extremely polite in his new digs. However, WALLY, BEAVER, and Red Sox nation know what will transpire next. The Washington Heights Con Man is very close to leeching another 100 million dollar salary from the Hollywood Nine. Somewhere around June or July next year, as is his custom when not working his sting, Rag Head will need time off for a bum Knee, Hammy, Pedro's grandmother's death (she has died at least 3 times I know of), etc. GUARANTEED !!! Buyer beware, Koufax kooks.

Now, 99 is not a rocket scientist. Where do you think he learned this scam ?? Right here in Boston, from the aforementioned Skinny Man Martinez. This guy was as skilled as his cohort but MUCH slicker. Pedro had his own rules and marched to his own beat. M-Ram paid close attention and made the Schtick his own. But, like I said, Pedro was the inventor of the scam and Ramirez just a follower. When it came time to pull the trigger and shoot his way out of town, Manny shot himself in the foot. It turns out it was only a superficial wound, and as we know, he has fully recovered.

There are a LOT of athletes out there just like this melon head. The latest one, Plaxico Burress, because he is so skilled, had 20 warnings before he was FINALLY suspended. Albery Belle was another. The NBA is loaded with them. Because they are so good at what they do from so young an age, they are coddled and given a lot more rope than the average athlete. The best never hear the word NO until thet are well into their professional careers. The average and worst are dropped immediately. If they perform, they stay, period. I could go on and on with this line of thinking, but I will stop for now.

Ramirez, MANNY are not as good as you are, but you are NOT chosen. Your just another very good hitter. You are, have been, and always will be a jerk (take note for the last time LA). Manny being Manny means to hell with the rules and worry only about yourself in the ultimate team game. You were weaned that way, learned from the master manipulator in Boston, and are perpetrating your fraud in La La Land. GOOD RIDDANCE !!!
