MANNY RAMIREZ IS BASEBALL'S IDIOT SAVANT
With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop — As noted every but here today, Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez had a typically Mannyesque play last night when he made an impressive running catch on the warning track, climbed up the wall to high-five some fans, then made a throw to double off the runner on first (video here). As a tribute to "Manny being himself," as people like to say, SportsCenter compiled the slugger's strangest moments on and off the diamond.  I admit: I laughed out loud at a couple of these, and I usually don't laugh at anything.  Except ...

Manny's high-fiver speaks out
Red Sox Monster — In a way that few things can, Manny Ramirez's ridiculous/ridiculously awesome catch-high-five-double-play-throw sequence set the Internet on fire yesterday.

I think my favorite thing is Ramirez's first career hit. It was a ground rule double that never even came close to going out of the park. Manny naturally thought he'd hit a home run and continued past 2nd. ...

Manny Ramirez: A Retrospective
The Mighty Quinn Media Machine — MLB yanked the "Oriole Magic" YouTube clip, claiming some ownership privilege. But my buddy Dave sent me a link to the Awful Announcing web site, who posted a clip from ESPN of the Baseball Tonight crew, who did a "Best of Manny Being Manny" retrospective. It's the best of Manny Ramirez in all his goofiness, as well as some of his very best outfield plays. I missed it when it was first broadcast. I hope no one yanks this. Enjoy.

BASEBALL: Manny Being Manny
Baseball Crank — In lieu of your regularly scheduled Mets-Yankees matchup - it's somehow emblematic of these two teams' 2008 season that they should be rained out - I give you the very best of Manny Ramirez: Inspired by this play, on which he managed to give a high five to a fan in the middle of a play (in case you missed that, too). H/T here and here.
