MannyWood in Boston?


Manny Ramirez finally returned home to Boston yesterday and was reunited with Green Monster out in left where Manny has spent the bulk of his career. As Either either step to the plate in the first, the applause began to slightly rumble throughout the crowd. This was because the eager Boston fans saw their former star, Manny Ramirez stepping to the on deck circle. However, this anticipation had to wait as Andre Either grounded out to Beltre to end the inning. His return debut concluded with a 1-for-5 outing, one run, and two strikeouts. In short, Manny's return was mixed but it was evident there were more cheers than boos. In addition, Manny unfortunately did not see it fit during his first visit back in a Dodgers uniform to disappear mid-inning and use the bathroom in the left for old times sake. On a side note, David Ortiz said, " the biggest thing I learned (from Manny) was work ethic...and he also taught me how to hit bombs." 




Which got me thinking, if I'm going to play the part I might as well look good doing it.  I need a Manny wig to keep things fun and a Kenny Powers Tee to let everyone know I'm serious! Fantasy managers watch out for this guy, he is a 'W' machine and he's got an arm like cannon! If you are unaware of the brilliance of EASTBOUND AND DOWN, I suggest you check it out.
