And Now a Word From Manny Del.

Manny Delcarmen: cold, desperately seeking Jason Varitek, Mike Lowell fan, aware of the recent post-season pitching performance of a major acquisition by a division rival, and poor.

Manny Delcarmen hosted his Manny's Candlepin Challenge earlier today. The event raises money for Boston public schools. While there, he spoke with NECN (I don't know why their videos never embed properly. There's probably someway to change the code but I'm not savvy enough to figure it out.) Here's the gist of it:

He leaves for Florida a week from tomorrow. He hopes that they re-sign Varitek (audio is shaky but it sounds like):



"I'm praying that he gets signed. Just because he works really well with the pitching staff and it would be weird not having him around."

He seemed incredulous that someone might contemplate trading Mike Lowell. He seems unconcerned about the prospect of C.C. Sabathia playing in New York. And with a laugh and a batting of those long, enviable eyelashes, he wants more money.
