What? Manny's Early??

Red Sox left-fielder and notorious space-case Manny Ramirez arrived at the Sox Ft. Meyers training camp today. As expected Manny did not speak to reporters, but jumped into batting practice against Dice-K, only taking three pitches. Manny's agents insist that he had no intention of attending the car auction that he was scheduled to be at this past Saturday, but just that he says yes to everything.

I actually believe that. David Ortiz was grilled on Manny's whereabouts, but insisted on keeping it real. Have I mentioned recently how much I absolutely love that large, large man? My sincere thanks to the Twins organization for letting him go:) (KISSES TO SOOZ)

Also in the link above is a Q and A between fans and Manny's agent, Greg Genske. One thing you gotta love about Red Sox Nation is that they don't mince words.

Q-Do you think since he’s your meal ticket, you should try to help him grow up?

A-“Again, I wouldn’t agree with your characterization, either of Manny’s behavior or of whatever else you’re talking about.”
