Like I told you, I'm going to play six years (in Boston), David (Ortiz) is going to play six years," Manny Ramirez said, "and then we're going to retire." The matter-of-fact, dead-pan method in which Ramirez delivers his messages suggests he knows something we don't.

Sure and the RedSox will have a new 2 DH rule instituted next year.

April 15, 2008  07:49 AM ET

Lally -- Papi did not hit two home runs last night. I am depressed.

April 15, 2008  08:18 AM ET

Does anybody take anything that Manny says seriously?

April 15, 2008  08:32 AM ET

I think this story is bullsh*t....

Umm... Have you seen Manny's assist numbers over the past 4 years? The guy isn't really losing much playing most of his games in a shallow outfield. And last time I checked we don't have any big-time Left Fielders waiting in the wings in Boston.

Umm... Have you seen Manny's age?? Add six years to that and get back to me.

Still marveling at how far Manny's blast of Borowski went.....

I hear the Indians are considering a lawsuit against Manny for criminal mischief.....(denting the upper deck seats)...

April 15, 2008  09:14 AM ET

Manny is in a contract/walk year right? Freaking Manny! And Slinky! Stop rooting for both teams. The Indians need your undivided rooting attention!!!!!!

April 15, 2008  09:14 AM ET

Manny is just fun to watch. He rarely argues balls and strikes. He rounded the bases last night after that blast faster than he goes after ball hit to LF. He just seems to have fun but his approach at the plate is a great.

Look Its Rick James.

April 15, 2008  09:21 AM ET

forskins. he did have two hits tho. baby steps

April 15, 2008  09:23 AM ET

4192,

Leave the Slink alone.....and stop rooting for dead legacies....

8 years and counting...

April 15, 2008  09:26 AM ET

even Tavarez looked good last night....I mean his pitching did..

April 15, 2008  09:31 AM ET

Yea Tavarez can make his pitching look good but himself thats a tall order.

April 15, 2008  09:35 AM ET

BobBoston, that pitch from Borowski that Manny hit last night hasn't landed yet. :-)
btw, did anyone see the little 'nod' Tavarez gave Luis Tiant last night while he was pitching? i thought that was great. :-)

April 15, 2008  09:35 AM ET

so how about Lowrie getting the start tonite. time to see this kid is action. i think they need to give youk a day off. he's been getting banged up lately. but sounds like casey is gonna sit and have youk back over at first and have the kid play third

April 15, 2008  09:35 AM ET

Dead legacies? Is that anything like the Dead Kennedys?

April 15, 2008  09:38 AM ET

what are you all of a game ahead? with what about 150 to go??? hahahahaha..... as someone I know and love would say... Whatever.....

Manny is full of himself and is quite a joke. I'll be happy when he retires, or gets hurt and its out indefintely.
