Manny Will Always Be My Man

While listening to angry midwestern "Cheese heads" insist they were so over Favre and that they really didn't want him back all week, I thought to myself how nice it was to see Manny go on such amicable terms. It was like a great breakup; everyone is happier afterwards! Manny wants out, Boston wanted out, and everyone went to the Championship Series. It was a trade made in heaven. I even have an excuse to wear that Dodgers hat I stole from a friend cause I just look hot in it. Green Bay on the other hand had a bitter end with Favre, and although they deny it, they're begging for him back. $20 million to be the "ambassador"!? Is that a special teams position?


On the other hand, Ruby's Hipocratus attitude toward this whole thing is fabulously innocent. Let's face it, Manny doesn't want to be the only baby riding around with training wheels on his bike while everyone else is sporting a two-wheeler! Pretending that all professional baseball players aren't doing the same thing (on some level) is like believing in the tooth fairy! And its not just baseball. UConn basketball is in trouble for breaking the rules to get ahead. I could mention the Fab Five but I'll save that commentary for when I do my "Why the NCAA is Ridiculous - I'm Forming My Own Association" article.


Yeah, Manny got caught. They all do eventually. But, much like my theory on the NCAA violations, why don't we all stop lying about it so we can actually solve the "cheating" problem. I mean, if we're all cheating, let's all cheat and stop living by some fictitious rule book. Its like an adult who is afraid to tell their parents they smoke! If you're not playing by the "rules," why don't you just say so and at a minimum we can all stop LYING about it. That goes for everyone. Oh, and Congress, GET A LIFE or at a minimum do something of any value to our struggling nation (says the girl researching an unsolved 1967 murder but learning very quickly the FBI knew exactly who did it). We have bigger fish to fry folks! Like, get me my 401K back and then we can consider talking about the "K" pitchers throw!

ManRam debate...

Inside scoop for all you followers out in WWW land, Kate believes and I quote, "And I seriously have to register a complaint about calling him ManRam. WTF is that? I don't know what happened to him out in California, but I'd still like to think he deserves more than ManRam."

I see your point Kathryn, and I am sure that Manny himself would also disapprove. However, Manny blatantly tried to paint a picture of an ignorant doctor. If in fact this doctor did prescribe this treatment option, it would mean that the he/she either had no clue about his/her patients life, including their career, or that they choose to prescribed it in spite of knowing Ramirez's profession. Either way, in my eyes, it paints this doctor to be root of the problem. SO instead of taking responsibility for partaking in such a treatment, he is passing the buck on to someone who will not and can not legally defend themself because of HIPAA laws. This is cowardly, and as a future physician, it pissed me off. Hence, ManRam.

Thought of the Day:

Really ManRam? You just took what your doctor gave you without even thinking twice about it? Ok so let's see 1) the meds are injected, first red flag. 2) Its called human chorionic gonadotropin HORMONE (hCG), red flag numero dos. 3) and it costs a ton of money to utlize. Yup, if you didn't ask your doctor one question about any of that, then you're a moron, and an even bigger moron for thinking that anyone is going to believe this little story you and your publicists, agent, etc have conjured up.
