Manny Ramirez Screwed Himself


Ok so I don't often talk sports here despite the fact I'm a huge fan. Manny Ramirez, one of the most feared sluggers in the game, and probably one of the most eccentric personalities baseball has ever seen may have screwed himself worse than any major leaguer in history.

He told friends he wanted to make 25 million a year for six seasons, which may have been a farsighted of him. Ramirez is 36, which is already the back end of the prime of his career, who knows how good of a player he will be when he's 42, not a 25 million dollar man at least. So what happens when he gets a more then fair offer of 2 years 46 million from LA? He turns it down and laughs.

The Yankees were his next suitor, but his douche bag agent Scott Boras wouldn't sign him up for the Yankees three year deal, and they signed Mark Teixera, a much younger, power hitter, who's still well in his prime.

Other teams interested? San Fransisco (not enough money), Washington Nationals (not prestigious enough), The Mets (are done with Boras). So where does that leave Manny for now? Sitting on his ass doing absolutely nothing, and loving it.

Ouch of the Day



This is why white people should leave basketball to the professionals.
