We love Manny in these here parts. For many reasons, including last summer’s Vote For Manny extravaganza. [Remember why I started that, OK?] For his silliness. For his female hormone therapy. For his rationalizations. For his hating on Boston. You name it.
We also have to chuckle when he gives us quotes like this:
“From the waist down, I feel 15,” [Manny] said. “From the neck up, I feel 43. I feel good.”
So many directions to go with that.
- The waist down image… ugh. Maybe that’s due to the female hormones?
- Haven’t his knees been major issues for him for the last half a decade, at least?
- His head feels 43. What does that mean?
- His torso must be numb
Any reason why the Dodgers aren’t going to try to resign him? Maybe this:
Ramirez will turn 38 on May 30 and is entering the final season of a two-year, $45 million contract. He spent a large chunk of last season serving a 50-game suspension for violating baseball’s drug policy and most of the rest of the season struggling at the plate.
Oh, and that pesky McCourt divorce thingie…
Still, you gotta love Manny and his views on the world as he sees it.
