MANNY RAMIREZ: BEST PLAYER

“I don’t care,” Ramírez said. “I don’t play here.”

ZEN FUCKING MASTER.

MADNESS

Many – including Ramirez himself – believe Farnsworth’s message pitch to Ramirez might have been retaliation for Alex Rodriguez getting drilled by David Aardsma the previous night, just a few innings after launching a long home run against Clay Buchholz.

“You know, we hit one of their best players last night, and I guess they want to send a message,” Ramirez said after Thursday’s game. “They need to back up their players, and they did.”

"Manny gave me a big hug when I got in here, but he hugs me everyday so I don't know what that means," Pedroia said with a smile in the clubhouse.

haha

Manny Ramírez, meanwhile, spent a couple of minutes in the clubhouse trying to convince reporters the Sox should trade Tavarez for one of Milwaukee's sausages, the stars of the race that occurs prior to every seventh inning in Miller Park. That was after he announced that Tavarez should be traded to Tampa Bay.

Awesome.

I like how "traded to tampa bay" comes across like "eaten by wolves."

its amazing that this thread title just gets more and more accurate

hahahahahah god

from today: amazing catch...hi five...double play
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD7uFYoVzDY

he really did hi-five that dude right? i couldn't really tell

lol

that high-five was the best fucking thing that i have ever seen

THERE ARE NO WORDS.

the video is gone FUCK

omg there was only one out??????????????????????????????? HAHAHAHAHAHA

http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200805142699480

they don't show it in that video, but the best part is when manny and a bunch of dudes are rewatching the catch through one of the camera operator's camera, and you see them staring into it and then they pull back and manny mimes high-fiving someone and they all start doubling over

actually the best part is when he high-fives a fan in the middle of the play

this is my favorite play in the history of sports

so awesome

This one has the high-five, but the quality is pretty bad:

Just between this and the Tavares trade proposal, Manny = a god

whatever dude. such a double standard. this guy gets away with everything.

there could be a youtube leak of Haley Joel Osment being forcibly sodomized by Ramirez with a "we're #1" foam finger on one hand and holding a giant bag of AIDS in the other -- office workers would just watch it and go "LOL, Manny's just being Manny".

link?

whatever dude. such a double standard. this guy gets away with everything.

why, who got raked over the coals for hi-fiving a fan in the middle of a 7-5-3 double play?

he gets away with it BECAUSE HE'S FUCKING AWESOME! see thread title for more info.

great hr/lol montage on sportscenter tonight

I got a partial translation of the comic in the original post, courtesy of my Korean mom:

Manny Ramirez square:
Manny is saying "Hey" and "Yo" to everyone and they are responding in kind.

Curt Shilling:

Randy and Clemens are (something, possibly "gone"), Pedro has no energy left, heh heh, the American League is mine this season!
(Santana looks bemused in the background)

The Ortiz as Shrek square:

Ortiz: Heh heh
Mills: This is so ridiculous, I'm having a fart.

The Derek Lowe section:

Lowe: (Sarcastically) Run like hell. They're not my legs.

She had trouble with the Keith Foulke and Pedro Martinez ones. Foulke's had something to do with being a "slow closer" and how was he going to explain that to people, with Wakefield saying "Forget about it, it's not your problem."

MLB officials were asking Pedro where he's from, and my mom didn't understand his answer.

Excellent. Valuable new Mom.

My mom cracks up a lot when she's trying to translate Hoon Choi. She found it hilarious that he spelled out "field" phonetically so it looked like "pilt."

Our moms should unionize. Seriously, I'd pay $5 for a 1-year subscription to translate those.

ya i asked some of my chong friends to help me out with these a while back

[15:41] me: what's manny saying in that first panel
[15:48] dianne: yae :(
[15:48] me: yae?
[15:49] dianne: white guy is gou=ing EH, EH
[15:49] me: so basically it doesnt make sense in korean either
[15:50] dianne: he's getting the white guy to copy what he'sa sying but the white guy isn't doing it exactly like he is?
[15:50] me: oh
[15:50] dianne: i think he's trying to say YEAH U HOT
[15:50] dianne: :(
[15:51] me: lmbo
[15:51] me: ok what's curt schilling saying
[15:51] dianne: int he first panel?
[15:51] dianne: oh

[16:41] some other broad: haha so any panel in particular or are ou curious about what the whole thing's saying?
[16:41] me: the whole thing
[16:43] some other broad: alright, skipping the title panel and oging straight to panel 1: Isn't staying the best harder than becoming the best?
death looking guy: (it's written in Korean, but it's actually in english) "Welcome to the Hell!~!!"
baseball player guy: huh?
[16:47] some other broad: panel 2: You don't have to look further than Dwight Gooden for an example. Being top all school was piece of cake, but after going to highschool you can just see from his friends from middle school who dropped perpendicularly (that makes no sense to me but I know nothing about dwight gooden)
[16:47] some other broad: guy with glasses: It's your fault we're dropping
guy in red jacket: Haha, hey friend!!
[16:48] some other broad: panel 3: When looking at the situation from that point of view, chipper jones is the best of the best. Since high school he's kept the same position for 20 years
[16:48] some other broad: baseball cap guy 1: Where's chipper?
[16:48] some other broad: baseball cap guy 2: He's always there
[16:49] some other broad: Panel 4: Chipper comes from the phrase, "Chip off old block," and he got that nickname because he's just like his father.
[16:51] some other broad: guy supposed to be chipper: Man good thing I wasn't born in Korea, or I would've been called "bbong uh bbang Jones" (boong uh bbang is "fish cake" it's a snack thing shaped like gold fish, but they make it with a mold so each cake comes out the same shape so in korea if you're just like your dad or mom ou're not a chip off the old block they say you're a fish cake.)
[16:51] some other broad: guy in read jacket: If you were born in Korea, you wouldn't be "Jones"
[16:52] some other broad: Panel 5: It's a weird way of putting it, but Jones is one of the few superstars to come out first pick in the first round...
[16:52] some other broad: guy in cleveland jersey: hey if you're first pick in the first round, doesn't that make you automatically a superstar?
[16:52] some other broad: abseball cap guy: It's different from your neighborhood
[16:53] some other broad: panel 6: Jones is a three in one balance of sense, technique, and power, so he always brings a standard grade of performance
[16:53] some other broad: jones dude: I'm confident when it comes to sense, technique and power
[16:53] some other broad: girl: "oh wow!" (under her breath) just the things I like...
[16:54] some other broad: panel 7: Even the past three years when he was wrestling with an injurty, he was able to show a continuous level of performance
[16:54] some other broad: jones guy: Even with my hamstrings ripped to shreds, 20 homeruns are no problem at all!
[16:55] some other broad: coach: you think you're Jack Bauer?
[16:56] some other broad: panel 8: Also, along with Berkman, he's the current greatest switch hitter; and whether from the left or right, he comes up with a consistent performance
[16:57] some other broad: jones guy: hey right hand, you're one really scary guy...and you are too left hand!
[16:57] some other broad: guy in baseball cap: You're the one talking to your bats, you're scarier...
[16:57] some other broad: panel 9: On top of that, Jones is a recognized crutch [NOTE from cankles: lollll] hitter, and is also well-known as a team leader
[16:58] some other broad: Jones guy: Alright! Let's go!!
[17:00] some other broad: other team members: Older brother~ (Korean style way of talking to someone older, but I think they're also pointing out that he's respected...ok the following's hard for me to translate because it uses military slang...a lot of Korean guys do that because they go to the army, but instead of explain all the intricacies of that I'm just going to give a general translation:) can't I just fall behind?
[17:02] me: is service mandatory in SK?
[17:02] some other broad: yea, two years
[17:02] me: kk
[17:02] some other broad: Panel 10: Any team he goes to, without trouble at all, he's the super elite
[17:03] some other broad: guy in suit: Well....money is a bit of a problem...money
[17:03] some other broad: jones guy: Why? I even come with a lowered yearly salary!
[17:04] some other broad: panel 11: However, this is all just on the outside, to be able to maintain that top spot, only he knows how much hard work was necessary
[17:04] some other broad: I think it's jones' dad: Don't just swing with your hands...
[17:05] some other broad: Jones guy: humph! (I don't know, just general noise for when you're really trying hard type of thing)

OMG RORRING ON THE FROOR RAFFING

"Welcome to the Hell!~!!"
"crutch"
