Handy Manny Gets An Offer

The wait is over: Manny Ramirez may finally get a deal he likes.

A source to ESPN is reporting the deal is for two years and $45 million dollars. Manny would earn $25 million in that first season.

ESPN's Jason Stark breaks down the contract.


The biggest thing I am suprised at is that it took this long for Manny Ramirez to get a contract. If I was the GM of a team, I look at how Manny Ramirez single handedly destroyed the Chicago Cubs in the NLDS and say "I don't care how much he costs or what he does. We will sign Manny."

I am suprised that no teams other than the Dodgers made Manny Ramirez an offer.

The only question now is: Will Manny take this offer?

The War Is On Between Tim McCarver And Manny Ramirez

Tim McCarver just tried to get people to remember who he is by commenting on Manny Ramirez's tirade before he left Boston.
McCarver called Ramirez's Actions "Despicable."
Here Is Manny Ramirez's response to what McCarver said.


Here is McCarver On ESPN Talking about what he said and why he said it.


What did people remember McCarver for doing before this game? Tim McCarver hit a "Grand Slam Single" On our country's Bicentennial. A "Grand Slam Single" is when a batter hit a grand slam but subsequently passed the runner ahead of them on the base paths, which according to the rules of Major League Baseball causes the runner who passes his teammate to be called out.

When McCarver was asked how he hit the Grand Slam Single, he Replied "sheer speed".

I personally believe McCarver is yapping because he is trying to get more people to watch the NLCS. He feels like he needs to add extra drama to it, as if it needs any more drama.
