Buster Olney lights up Manny Ramirez

On the 11 p.m. SportCenter Wednesday night, baseball analyst Buster Olney lit up Manny Ramirez the way Manny usually lights up Yankees pitching. Here's his quote during a segment about whether Boston will trade Manny to the Marlins or elsewhere:

"The Red Sox front office is talking a look at the situation and their question is this: Can we convince him to play hard the last wo months? And from their perspective, when you see him go down the line Monday night in 5.7 seconds and go down the line in 5.17 seconds -- which is considered glacial in baseball -- during a no-hitter, they have to seriously ask themselves the question and they have, 'Have we lost him?'"

Did Olney just call RBI machine Ramirez an immovable-although-slightly-smaller-in-stature-these-days-because-of-global-warming block of frozen water? I think he did!

Manny fills out any jersey given to him.

Shoulders? SOLID

Lower Body?
Well, Whittle and Dennehy have Vista and spellcheck working for them..

Put Manny in the right situation on the right team and he'll still be a great player. He hates Red Sox management and badly wants out. Sure he should honor his contract but that's just not Manny's style. He's done a lot to make the Red Sox relevant again and now feels disrespected.

I don't get the vista joke, islander505. please explain

"I don't get the vista joke, islander505. please explain"

Should have been "HEAD" and not "lower body".

My bad (late night)
