Number Fourteen: Manny Ramirez.


I have been (and will probably continue to be) a staunch Manny defender. I can't help it. The man is an amazing hitter and was instrumental to two World Series Championships.

I sincerely hope, especially now that FOX will be carrying it and ESPN will likely follow suit, that he doesn't get booed in June during his return. You know that they're chomping at the bit to destroy the Boston fan base as being ungrateful; conveniently forgetting, of course, that they spent huge portions of their times picking on the poor guy.

Although I do think it would be ungrateful to boo him. It didn't end well but while he was here he was brilliant. And that should be enough.

Maybe, though, the whole issue could be averted by his hamstrings flaring up on June 17. That would work too.
