From Doghouse To Hero

manny ramirezby the goat…Manny Ramirez has once again successfully chewed his way out of the media doghouse. Last week all the talk was about how he is turning from Manny being Manny into the next Milton Bradley (YAHTZEE!), but a couple of clutch at bats and all is forgotten. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the mainstream media can change their tune.

In case you haven’t heard, Manny also proved why he is the best man on earth this week when The Globe reported that he would be getting $10,000 (plus $49.56 in interest) from Massachusetts’ abandoned property fund. It seems Manny, due to being more awesome than beer, high def television and air conditioning combined, forgot all about a check he got from Reebok. Due to Reebok being much more honest with the government than anyone I know concerning their finances, the money ended up in the state kitty when the check went uncashed. $10,000, he just forgot about it, he is the mayor of Awesometowninghamville.

Upon Hearing about this I immediately went to www.findmassmoney.com to see if I had forgotten about any sponsorship money in the past. As it turns out I actually owe 30 cents for that six pack of Yuengling that I sneaked into one of those bottle return vending machine thingies, how they found out it was me is a mystery.

So Manny is on fire, Papi is taking batting practice without pain, and J.D. Drew is finally earning his 784.6 billion dollar salary. If the Sox could just get Curt “the Girth” Swilling to put down the World of Warcraft and hot dogs long enough to rehab correctly, things would be all peachy in Sox Nation.
