YANKEES 3 RED SOX 4 Saturdays game at Fenway, came down to one bad decision…. the decision of Mike Mussina to pitch to Manny Ramirez, instead of walking him to the empty 1st base. Early in the game, Ramirez had already hit a homerun over the green monster off of Mussina, and this time, in the 6th inning, the Sox had runners on 2nd and 3rd base, with 2 outs, and Ramirez to the ...

Manny Ramirez breaks a record with…his hustle?
Crookednose posted 4/9/2008 from www.bugsandcranks.com
If you’d asked Placido Polanco to describe the play that would end his record-setting errorless streak, it’s safe to say the Tigers’ second baseman wouldn’t have outlined a situation where a hustling Manny Ramirez forced him to rush a relay throw to third base, hoping to prevent a triple.The Manny matter

This quote from Manny Ramirez made my jaw drop. "We hit one of the best players and I guess they want to send a message and that's what they did," said Ramirez, batting .478 with 14 homers and 38 RBIs in 33 games against the Yankees since 2006. "They've got to back up their players and he did." Honestly, would you expect the voice of reason in this situation to be Manny Ramirez?Yankee Killer Manny Ramirez-Red Sox 7 Yanks 5

There aren't many, but there are some certainties in life. Death. Taxes. Manny Ramirez against the New York Yankees. One would have thought that, given Saturday's game, Mike Mussina may have opted to pitch around Ramirez, perhaps giving up the walk to save the home run. Alas, this was not the case. On some occasions, stubbornness can be a virtue. If, say, for example, you are general manager ...On a Ram(irez)page

When Joe Girardi allowed Mike Mussina to pitch to Manny Ramirez last Saturday, the move was dissected for days. Nothing has changed since then. Manny is still on a rampage and the Yankees are still, idiotically, pitching to him. Manny's already hit two home runs off of Mussina tonight. Why are the Yankees pitching to Manny at all? Why not give him the Barry Bonds treatment and walk him. Joe ...Manny Being Yankee??

It's still just April, and the Yanks have certainly gotten off to a hot start, but that isn't stopping some of my Yankee fan brethren from stressing out, fretting that they won't be able to top the Sox.

In last night’s game at Yankee Stadium, Manny Ramirez took a pitch on a full count. It was high but borderline.

The Yankees lost to the Red Sox last night in a close game. The pivotal inning was the bottom of the 6th. With two outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Manny Ramirez is up to face Mike Mussina. Joe Girardi comes to the mound to have a discussion with his starter and decides to leave him in to face Manny and hopefully get the last out of the inning.

Well, that sucked. Tough 4-3 loss for the Yanks. A long rain delay helped prolong the agony for the Yankees but the crucial moment in the game was when manager Joe Girardi let Mike Mussina pitch to Manny Ramirez in the sixth. This is Manny we're talking about.
