I'll assume you were drunk, presumably because of the Hawks advancing. You are absolved, my son.

Has Manny given his "I'm sorry" speech to the team yet?
Some of these owners are truly out of touch.

That was his press conference he didn't show up to. He hasn't said shit to his team yet.

I thought I read that he had a talk with McCourt and was ordered to address the team afterward, which he did?

[Fella]

He did meet with McCourt, who did ask him to meet with the team, but he did not.

He has been hiding. The LA media is all over his ass. Since the press conference he hasn't talked with anyone in the organization except Torre and McCourt, he hasn't seen or talked to any of his teammates.

[Butcher]

What a vagina.

Manny Ramirez: Am I in Trouble?

A snippet from the Onion article. Hilarity:

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->LOS ANGELES—According to his teammates, his coaches, and the media, Manny Ramirez has appeared visibly confused and anxious since receiving a 50-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball's drug policy, and has repeatedly asked those around him if he is in some sort of really big trouble right now.

"Uh-oh, things are not going so good for me I don't think," Ramirez was overheard saying to Dodgers pitcher Chad Billingsley. "Chad? Did I do something bad? If I did bad, I did not mean to do it."

"I tried to put on my uniform today and the day before that and Joe [Torre] told me not to do that," the left fielder added. "Chad.... Chad? Chad. Hey, Chad, do you think Joe is mad at me? I am not mad at him. Is Joe mad at me?"

Sources close to the Dodgers organization confirmed that ever since the suspension was handed down last Thursday, the visibly worried Ramirez has spent the majority of his time sitting in the clubhouse biting his fingernails and saying to himself, "Something is no good right now. Something is definitely no good."

In addition, a sulky Ramirez reportedly spent Tuesday afternoon pacing back and forth in front of Joe Torre's office in an apparent attempt to get the manager to invite him inside. When Torre exited his office without acknowledging the 2004 World Series MVP, Ramirez muttered, "I must be in big, big trouble, man. Big trouble."

"I think things are really bad because the people are being different toward me right now," Ramirez told reporters gathered around his locker Wednesday. "The people with the microphones who stand in front of the cameras and write the things in their books? They are talking about me differently than they usually talk about me. Usually they smile and laugh when they talk about me. But not now."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Speaking of Manny, and his replacement, I found a sweet t-shirt for Butch...


When JP Steals bags, he goes into...

[kbwsb]

Butcher will be wearing that to the next SOITOW.

Can somebody tell me why it makes sense to let Manny start a minor league assignment before his 50-games are up? If you're fucking suspended for 50 games, it should be 50 games at any level. You don't reward him by allowing him the chance to play some games in order to get ready for his "major league" return. This is a hole in the system. If a minor league player gets 50 games, he can't play for 50 fucking games.
