Boston Herald

That's how the Boston Herald announced the three-way Major League Baseball trade that sent tempermental slugger Manny Ramirez from the Boston Red Sox to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Pittsburgh Pirates ceded Jason Bay to Boston where he will become the new Red Sox left fielder in place of Ramirez.

They should have canned him the day he knocked over the travel secretary because the guy couldn't score him extra tickets to a game. If not then, they should have canned him when he took a swing at Yewk in the dugout during a game. My guess is that the entire team is backing this move so they don't have to put up with his nonsense anymore.

Oh brother! When can trash talking about the NFL begin? The first pre season game is this weekend. Does that mean i can start bashing the team from New England again?

Speaking of teams from New England, check out this guy, Bryan Doo. He graduated from the school where I work. He must have "fallen away from the Lord" as they say. There is no other explanation as to why he would work with the Celtics of all teams.

Pete started it in an email earlier this week. No one has started a thread yet but I was waiting for Pete to come up with his annual "Are you ready for some FOOTBALL" thread. He generally waits until the week before the regular season starts.

One of Manny Ramirez's most memorable outfield bloopers. This one, from July 18, defies conventional description. Is it baseball--or an Easter egg hunt?
