"THE MANNY SHOW" IN THE MINORS

When Manny Ramirez began his rehab assignment, the "Manny Show" which had been on put on hiatus since his suspension has been picked up yet again. This time in the smallest market in America. Manny is playing with the Albuquerque Isotopes. I am sure no one had even heard of them before last week, now they are a household word, thanks to Manny.

But this is one Manny show with no dialogue. At least not the scripted dialogue that all of the hard nosed angry sports reporters are chomping at the but to get. Do they even have a press box in Albuquerque or is the media forced to buy tickets and hope that their laptop batteries don't die. All the while watching and waiting for Manny to come up to bat. Waiting for Manny to say something, anything they can twist to write a story about.

Manny is a smart guy and he isn't talking. He never told exactly what happened in Boston and he won't explain himself regarding the suspension. So get over it. He knows that reporters make things up about him and trust me, he does not care. I have talked to Manny alot, off camera and on. I am not embarrassed to tell you that I like him very much. He is a good guy with a big heart. he made a mistake, he worked it out, time to move on now.

Just as the "Manny Show" will. Next week he will appear in San Bernadino and finish his rehab assignment before his first game back with the real Dodgers in San Diego on July 3rd.

Yep that's right, get ready Ron Burgundy...The "Manny Show" continues for real in a game against the Padre's, in a city that will have no idea what hit them. Get ready for that one, I promise it will be better than a day at the Zoo!
