Watched the Manny Ramirez / Gordon Edes interview at Boston.com last night. Great stuff - Manny is really likeable. I love the way he says “Thanks God” for “Thank God”, both in the interview and on his website. Overall he strikes me as really sincere. And yeah, it’s sad that the journos are now falling at his feet just because he’s decided to give good quote, but on the other hand, who isn’t inclined to be nicer to someone who makes your job easier?
And someone at the New York Times website doesn’t like the Yankees: “Jeter Improves to 1 for 33”. Talk about damning with faint praise. (Actually, he’s 1 for 36 now.) The full article has the headline as “Jeter, Anemic at 0 for 32, Is a Crusher at 1 for 33” - not sure if that’s meant to be ironic.
Amazing how the Sox can sell out Fenway for an afternoon game with the D-Rays. True, it’s a rainout makeup, but all these people had spare time on a Thursday afternoon?? Saw Conig’s Corner bedecked in a sea of green T-shirts. Tremendous.
