'Give me a break': Well put:
"Give me a break. Ramirez may be an immature eccentric, but how many egomaniacal superstars would have shaken off the humiliation of being put on waivers, as Ramirez was by the Red Sox after the 2003 season, and produced the numbers he did last season, right on through to being the most valuable player in the World Series?"
Update --
Now he wants to stay. Manny's like-clockwork flake meltdown of the year seems to be over.
Update II -- Right on time:
He's winning games again.
