The news that "Manny being Manny" now includes a suspension for doping comes as no surprise to the traditionalists of Red Sox Nation. A batting idiot savant, Ramirez is capable of wonderful moments at the plate, but those moments are often sandwiched around incidents of laziness and sheer lunacy. For those of us who grew up admiring the exploits of Yaz, Rice, Fisk et.al., Manny was not a favorite. When he actually quit on his team several times in the last few years, the legions of his enablers began to shrink. He represents everything I dislike about modern baseball.
