2011-04-27 03:45:00 The relationship Manny Ramirez has with Sox fans is a complicated one. (SawxBlog Illustration) Since we had a night of respite I thought I'd throw my hat in on the whole Manny Ramirez "retirement" saga. First of all Manny Ramirez...

Steroids In Haiku: Manny Ramirez Retires

A funny headline about pains in Manny Ramirez's pants
2010-12-10 04:26:00 After a stressful and emotional week where the Sox somehow massively transformed their roster by barely changing it at all, things have just gotten even better for the South Siders. Manny Ramirez has made up for coming over in September and laying an egg! Well he almost has. Because this headline is almost perfect. "Mystery groin injury affected ex-Sox Ramirez" It's one word away...let's fix it! "Mystery groin affected ex-Sox Ramirez" Perrrrfect.
Manny Ramirez wasn't what we thought he was
2010-09-26 23:00:00 Unless the first thing you thought when the White Sox picked up Manny off of waivers is "isn't he still injured?" Something hasn't been right with Manny since came over from LA in one of those "Take him, TAKE HIM!" deals. To his credit, Ramirez hasn't raised any stink about how happy or unhappy he is to be on the South Side of Chicago, playing in half-empty stadiums, with no contract security for a team rocketing out of the playoff picture, but he also hasn't needed to. It's all so apparent when he's at the plate.
The White Sox Present...the Carlos Quentin-Manny Ramirez awful defense extr
2010-09-01 05:22:00 In his day, Ozzie Guillen was hard-nosed, never-say-die player who survived in the majors due to his defense, his hustle, and the fact that no one was paying attention to on-base percentage back then. Back in 2004, he pledged to create a team in his own image; a squad that played hard, ran hard, and fielded with tenacity. And that's why I wonder what the hell must be running through his head everytime he sees Carlos Quentin amble about in right field like an 8 year-old lost in a mall food court, or when his lineup features the oh-so-speedy stretch of Konerko-Quentin-Pierzynski-Kots-ay, or most pressingly, when he has to figure out how to fit Quentin and Ramirez into the same lineup.
White Sox officially acquire Manny Ramirez
2010-08-31 00:08:00 You've probably seen this elsewhere, but I should note here that the White Sox have officially acquired Manny Ramirez and his needles from the Los Angeles Dodgers on a straight waiver claim. No one was sent back, and the White Sox assume nearly $4 million in salary....

Acquiring Manny Ramirez Should Cost Someone With the White Sox Their Job
2010-08-30 03:10:00 With Manny Ramirez on waivers in Los Angeles, most local and national analysts believe the most logical destination for him is Chicago's south side. Rumors on Sunday night are that Manny could be property of the Sox as early as Monday. If the White Sox pull the trigger on adding Ramirez, someone should be fired....
Manny Ramirez To White Sox Makes Little Sense....
2010-08-26 20:30:00 Welcome to the final hours of Kenny Williams search to prove a point to Ozzie Guillen. The search for the power bat that the White Sox have desperately needed all season long at the designated hitter position could almost be over as the White Sox are the odds on favorite to land Manny Ramirez if he indeed clears waivers. A 38 year old Manny Ramirez who is batting .313 with eight home runs and 40 runs batted in playing in only 60 games this season. Simply put, this is not "Manny being Manny" of his Boston days and it's not Manny Ramirez of the American League Champion Cleveland Indians days. This is the Manny Ramirez who was suspended 50...
Manny Ramirez placed on the waiver wire - White Sox might do something abou
2010-08-26 03:15:00 According to MLBtraderumors.com, Buster Olney of ESPN, and every other baseball writer alive, the Dodgers actually did place Manny Ramirez on waivers on this, the wackiest of Wednesdays. Like most rules concerning player acquisition and payment in baseball, the waiver system is as long, winding, and mysterious as a dark forest path, if at the end of that path stood a possibly washed-up, immobile slugger draped in dreadlocks with the demeanor of a 9-year old.

Manny's gone: The Boston Red Sox trades slugger Manny Ramirez for left fiel
2008-08-01 00:26:00 On Thursday afternoon as the MLB trade deadline loomed, a deal that was once reported as dead to trade Manny, not only has reappeared, but with one change is a done deal. According to MLB.com, the Boston Red Sox has traded slugger Manny Ramirez (as he requested) to the LA Dodgers for left fielder Jason Bay from the Pirates in a three-team deal.Yesterday and then earlier this morning was the first that I had really heard about all of this trading and as a Red Sox fan, at first I thought why would you want to trade such a good player, I know Manny is Manny, but he’s a good player, however problem is, he makes problems off the field, however up until I read these comments:("The Red Sox don't deserve a player like me," Ramirez said. "During my years here, I've seen how they [the Red Sox] have mistreated other great players when they didn't want them to try to turn the fans against them."The Red Sox did the same with guys like Nomar Garciaparra and Pedro Martinez, and now they do th...

The Idiot File: ESPN's Obviously Biased Coverage; The Manny Ramirez Tagline
2008-05-15 19:39:00 Well, one should never count on "The Worldwide Sports Leader" for fair and balanced coverage (sorry, Fox News) unless you play in Boston, New York or Chicago if you're into baseball.Look at the highlighted portion of the graphic. Do we have a problem here? If I remember correctly, didn't the O's win yesterday? Didn't Jay Payton hit the game-winning grand-slam? I would say Manny Ramirez didn't exactly steal the thunder of the Baltimore Orioles.It's nice and wonderful that the Red Sox and Yankees drive ratings to your network and page-views to your website; however, wouldn't it be nice to perhaps show a little accuracy?Anyone who watched SportsCenter last night knows that the mercurial, goofy left-fielder made an excellent catch, but can't ESPN give the Orioles credit for, um, winning the game?
