Awesome (lengthy) essay on Manny:

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/04/23/070423fa_fact_mcgrath?printable=true

...

[Ramirez] is perhaps the closest thing in contemporary professional sports to a folk hero, an unpredictable public figure about whom relatively little is actually known but whose exploits, on and off the field, are recounted endlessly, with each addition punctuated by a shrug and the observation that it's just "Manny being Manny." When I asked his teammate David Ortiz, himself a borderline folk hero, how he would describe Ramirez, he replied, "As a crazy motherfucker." Then he pointed at my notebook and said, "You can write it down just like that: 'David Ortiz says Manny is a crazy motherfucker.' That guy, he's in his own world, on his own planet. Totally different human being than everyone else." Ortiz is not alone in emphasizing that Ramirez's originality resonates at the level of species. Another teammate, Julian Tavarez, recently told a reporter from the Boston Herald, "There's a bunch of humans out here, but to Manny, he's the only human."

looking at that lineup....it's pretty sad that the Red Sox have become the Yankees version 2. Their fans bitched and bitched about how they bought their championships.....yet they'll be sending a Philly/DBack they bought, a Marlin they bought, and Japane$e pitcher they bought to the mound in 3 straight days.
