The Badman regrets speading the ill word.

The Man from Japan is appalled by Sean Casey’s fat American running style.

He may look like Joe Palooka, but All-Star Youk wants to be paid like Manny.

With a big high-def tv you could read Manny’s lips Sunday night, as he rounded first base after his third scalding hit, knocking in Youk from second base, “they don’t want me no more, no problem”. Wow. Manny played like a jilted lover. More importantly, his two doubles to start the game caused New York to repeatedly throw strikes to a rusty Big Papi with two outs in the fourth, in order to avoid facing Manny. After seeing the same pitch several times Ortiz hit a home run, and that intangible effect that both Ramirez and Ortiz have on each other, may cause the Red Sox to ultimately re-consider, because Big Papi will never be the same without him.

NESN Comedy All-Star, Manny Ramirez, puts the funny (and heartbreak) in baseball programming.

Newly registered voter David Ortiz says Obama and McCain are just like the Red Sox and Yankees.

“Papelbum” stokes the rivalry further by questioning the Yankees new, extra macho, theme song.

The Mannyiac explains where all the monnies have gone.

The Red Sox brand stirs a lucrative passion. Fans keep their money with the official bank of the Red Sox; buy official plumbing and lighting supplies, office supplies and automobiles; they take their vacations with the players, name their pets after the ballpark, dress in logowear on the weekends and serve barbecue on plates glazed with playoff statistics. Fans fret about the high cost of gas for a trip to Fenway Park, but once there, spend like their millionaire heroes. Go figure.
