Manny Ramirez is with the same team — for now — but has a new agent: Scott Boras. [10]

http://www.thesoxreport.com/200. ) Manny Ramirez hit another game winning home run this time after Big Papi had tied it up. It was a shot over the green monster with a man on in the bottom of the 8th to give the Red Sox a 5-3 win. [11] http://www.hotstovenewyork.com/. ) Kyle Farnsworth got hit with a three-game suspension yesterday by Major League Baseball. Why? Because he tried to hit Manny Ramirez after Manny hit two shots off of Mike Mussina that night. [11] http://baseballreflections.com/. ) D'Backs 1B Conor Jackson This week was a tough selection, but with 10runs scored, 3 HRs, 10 RBIs to go along with a BA of.480 and an OBP of.519, Conor just edged out the Tiger's Miguel Cabrera, the Phillies' 2B Chase Utley and Boston's Manny Ramirez. [11]

Manny Ramirez will take over Papi's spot at DH and Jacoby Ellsbury will play in left field. [11]


Jim Mcisaac / Getty Images Boston slugger Manny Ramirez unleashes his second home run of the game against the New York Yankees on Thursday night. [12] Remember last season when Placido Polanco Placido Polanco set the record for consecutive games by a second baseman without an error without an error ? Well, that streak came to an end at 186 games on Tuesday afternoon in Boston. Polanco received this error when third baseman Miguel Cabrera Miguel Cabrera couldn't pull off a catch-and-tag in one motion on sliding Manny Ramirez. [4] At this point, we should not be surprised by anything Manny Ramirez does or says. He is a great hitter, a flawed fielder and well, sort of quirky dude. I suppose it all wraps into his "Manny being Manny" charm. It is his new passion for his down time, and he had some of that on Wednesday. When asked if he needed a presidential remark to feel important, he said he did not. [4] In my time off, I read books and I meditate. That's what I do." There you have it folks, Manny Ramirez was not watching his fellow teammates being congratulated by George Bush when he didn't make the trip, he was achieving inner peace and maybe reading some books. [4] Kyle Farnsworth Kyle Farnsworth Kyle Farnsworth getting suspended for ANYTHING is Dugout-worthy news, much less getting suspended for throwing a fastball at Manny Ramirez's Manny Ramirez's head. I don't know if he deserved the three-game suspension. I also don't know if he purposefully pitched at Manny's head, but honestly a part of me would be pretty disappointed if he didn't. [4]

Besides making a joke about Manny Ramirez's dead grandmother dead grandmother (I don't think that one went over so well!) President Bush found time to liken Daisuke Matsuzaka to himself, getting in some self-depreciation for good measure. It's almost as if his own approval rating for himself is lower than America's for him. [4]

I mean, 'Big Papi,' the guy lights up the screen. He brings a great personality - (applause). I'm sorry his running mate, Manny Ramirez, isn't here. I guess his grandmother died again. (Laughter.)

Another involved Manny Ramirez, who didn't make the trip yesterday to the White House. [4]


After an off-year in 2007, Manny Ramirez has already slugged six HRs and driven in 20 runs in 2008. [14] Tim Farrell/The Star-Ledger The Boston Red Sox's Manny Ramirez bails out as the New York Yankees relief pitcher Kyle Farnsworth threw an inside pitch to him in the 7th inning Friday night. [15] Yankees' pitcher Kyle Farnsworth has been suspended for three games and fined an undisclosed amount for intentionally throwing at Boston's Manny Ramirez during last Thursday's game at Yankee Stadium. Bob Watson, vice president of on field operations for Major League Baseball, made the announcement this afternoon. [15]

Fortunately, the bigger news that day was the Tribe signing pitcher C.C. Sabathia to a contract extension. It was reminiscent of the halcyon days of the early 1990s, when owner Dick Jacobs and his management team signed to long-term deals the likes of Sandy Alomar, Omar Vizquel, Manny Ramirez and Jim Thome. [16] Manny Ramirez, Boston's power-hitting outfielder, was voted the World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP). [16] The Boston Red Sox sure do give their best every game. Like last year, when they lost five straight in Fenway to the Yankees and then Manny Ramirez disappeared for the rest of the season. [3]

I've been Indians fan since I can remember (since at least 1957), and Manny Ramirez is the best hitter I have ever seen play live, is the best hitter of my generation and may be the best of any generation. [3]


March 21, 2007 — AS if his 160 million, eight-year contract with the Boston Red Sox isn't enough, Manny Ramirez has turned to eBay to make a fast buck. The dread- locked slugger is selling an "amazing" 4,000 stain less steel Jenn-Air grill he says he's only used once "because I am always on the road." He'll also throw in an autographed baseball to the highest bidder. [17] The Yankees finally decided enough was enough, and rightly so. If Kyle Farnsworth had to be the enforcer, well, why not? At least it gave the fans at the Stadium reason to cheer for him. More to the point, it was time to let Manny Ramirez know he wasn't going to hit rocket after rocket off their pitchers without paying a price. It's the way the game has been played forever. [18]


Feb 28 Watch Manny Ramirez mix it up on the Jay Leno show shortly after the Red Sox won the 2007 World Series. [19] Manny Ramirez, as Himself How Boston's amazing left fielder led the Red Sox to another World Series. [20] All right, then, be it resolved: Manny Ramirez knows more about baseball than you do. [20]


Boston Red Sox's Manny Ramirez connects for a two-run home run against the New York Yankees during the third inning of a baseball game Thursday. [21]

The Sox took the lead. No, it wasn't exactly what they probably were looking for. Manny Ramirez led off the inning with a bloop that fell between the second baseman, first baseman, and rightfielder, allowing him to make it to first. [22] Trailing, 5-2, entering the fifth, Dustin Pedroia led off with, what else, a double. He was driven home by David Ortiz's single to center. Then came one tremendous play and effort by Vladimir Guerrero, who ran full bore toward the right field railing near Pesky's Pole and made a great grab of what would have been a two-run Manny Ramirez homer as he banged into the railing. [22] Replacing 120 games of Manny Ramirez with 120 games of Ellis Burks will cost the Indians a good 40 runs. [23]


Sox slugger Manny Ramirez, who was given the day off, yells encouragement during yesterday's 8-3 win over the Rangers at Fenway. [2] T erry Francona admittedly had second thoughts about giving Manny Ramirez his first full day off yesterday. [2]


That's all I've got to say after watching Manny Ramirez belt a go-ahead, two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning tonight, giving the Red Sox a 6-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians. [24] Manny Ramirez won't play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic after all, Red Sox owner John Henry said, ESPN and the Boston Globe reported Thursday. "You know, from our perspective, we'd love to. you know, we want to support the Baseball Classic, but it's actually a plus for us that he's coming here March first and not playing there," Henry said, ESPN reported. [25] Winslow Townson / AP Manny Ramirez hit.292 with 45 homers and 144 RBIs last season with the Red Sox. [25]
