I haven’t browsed that VH1 site yet to see who they chose as having the “Worst Week Ever”, but if I had to select a candidate, I’d pick Manny Ramirez thanks to his 50 game suspension. Well, I guess the first US swine flu victim had a worse week since it was her last week ever, but I’m not going to make any tasteless jokes because I am still a little upset with her family for sending the Associated Press a glamour shot. You mean to tell me, that’s the only photo you had to send? It makes me think of funeral programs for old people, where they put a photo of the deceased from 1962 on the front. People look at the program, and start wondering if they’re at the right funeral thanks to that mess. When I die, I beg of you, please don’t use a super-glossy photo of me standing in front of a fake cloud background at my funeral. You won’t be fooling anyone.
Back to Manny…On one hand, I don’t really feel bad for him, because he held out for so much money during his negotiations with the Dodgers. I mean, I’ve always liked Manny, since he lives his entire life by my “Yeah, I said it” mentality. Still, this dude turned down Michael Jordan money while negotiating, so it made one think, “He’s good, but I don’t know about this right here!” So while most people would jump out a window at the thought of losing $8 million, Manny can just look at this as an extended unpaid vacation.
I do, however, feel bad for the fact that the embarrassing details of his banned substance suspension have come to light. Manny Ramirez is, for lack of a better term, a broke-d*ck bastard. To have all the money in the world, and barely functioning balls is the cruelest of cruel irony. It’s like Sir Smoke A Lot from Half-Baked:
“I’m impotent man! GET AWAY FROM ME B*TCH!”
I’m hoping that Manny can get his life together, and maybe use this down time to get a ball transplant or something. I mean, it’s not like he can’t afford it! Whatever the case, I do believe I’ve made my case that Mr. Ramirez has indeed had the worst week ever.
LOL!! I didn’t want to make fun of the glamor shot either since my back is to the window in my office and a bolt o’ lightning could easily take me out. But, I’m glad I’m not the only one who spotted the foolishness.
Something tells me he will still get ass whether or not his Johnson carries an “Out of Order” sign. Now, can he do the job….that’s a whole nother “ball” of wax.
If he was taking the drugs b/c of his broke balls, then should he really be suspend 50 games, that doesnt seem harsh? Mind you I could care less about baseball lol
He deserves the suspension. Baseball has the weakest steroid tests in professional sports. he should have been able to avoid a positive test.
Laugh. Out. Loud. Leon, I’m so glad you are so, crazy. I have to agree w/the whole glamour shot thing. how many times in the obits do we look @ the pix & think, wow, they died so young, when they are really 2 days older than water. And poor Mr. Ramirez… my sister has mad love for him; gotta get insight on what she thinks of this whole ‘ball’ of confusion….. (LOL!)
even more pathetic about this whole thing is that he was taking WOMEN’S fertility drugs. they’ve started callin him Tranny Ramirez.
