I like Manny Ramirez:

“Man, I’m just happy to do something special like that,” Ramírez said. “I’m not trying to show up anybody out there. I’m just trying to go have fun. If somebody strikes me out and shows me up, that’s part of the game. I love it. I like that. I like to compete, […]

Sunday night, as I drove back to Boston from the Cape (where I watched the Sox clincher with my friend Nick), the only station on which I could find a clear broadcast of the Indians-Yankees game was WFAN, the radio propaganda arm of Steinbrenner and the Bronx crew. It was, obviously, disgusting; I’ve heard […]

Okay, so I’ve been trying as hard as I can to completely ignore the impossibly stupid “Red Sox Nation” “presidential” “election”. It’s not really possible, as Jerry Remy has started to devote up to 75% of his actual air time to discussing the fucking thing, but I’m trying nonetheless.

Bill Simmons’ latest article on Damon hits the exact right note about people who just can’t possibly believe that Damon would willingly just ’switch sides’ and play for the Yanks. These four paragraphs are probably the best and most dead-on ones he’s written in quite some time:
