Manny Ramirez: Motivational Speaker

Jump to Comments

We’ve got money. We’re famous. But you’ve got to know what you want.

Everything is possible in life. Hey, whatever you want to be in life, you could be.

Hey, you’re the architect of your life.

Let me tell you something. We’ve got so much bad stuff inside, it’s up to us to make the best of it.

(These, for the record, were all taken from an AP article.)

Wow. This seems totally out of character for the cold-shoulder-to-the-media Manny we know*, but this is totally the hiding-inside-the-Monster Manny we know and love. How much would you bet he gives motivational speeches to the guys who work the Monster scoreboard during those pitching changes?

In other news, Dougie Fresh has been released from his contract, and it was probably abrupt, as he was wearing his uniform this morning. It’s too bad–I love ‘Belli. At least we have Kevin Cash, George Kottaras**, and Dusty Brown waiting in the wings, and Mark Wagner backstage***…

*I mean, telling reporters to carpe diem? What?

**I do love me some Georgie.

***I also like Wagner. A catching prospect who can actually hit? Hell yeah I want him on this team.
