Good job Justin; I'm proud of you.

Now Princess Manny-Being-Manny will be safe and warm in LA. Yippee. Good for him. Good for Boston. Too bad Mrs. Slowey and I didn't get a chance to tag team him while he was still in the league. Oh well.

And...

George Kenneth Griffey Jr.

Junior is on his way to the southside of Chicago the baddest part of town. I'm a smidge annoyed by this, only because if he was willing to come to the AL Central, he should have come here.

Go Sit in the Corner:

Ok, so you look like you're 9 1/2 years old, but you've become quite bratty lately. It seems that you don't like it when opponents do their job and hit off you so you throw purpose pitches. Now, I didn't mind when you beaned Nick Swisher last week, but I do not take kindly to you plunking Delmon Young. In the head. Because he hit a homer off you. Oh, and I saw the replay about eighty times (I *heart* my DVR) and I could tell it was totally intentional; the catcher didn't even have his mitt up to receive a pitch. So, go sit down and think about how you could behave better -- like maybe doing your job and not throwing pitches down the middle of the plate that hitters will smack for 418 foot homers.

Go Sit in the Corner (and Shut Up):

Manuel Aristides Ramirez


Once again, Manny-Being-Manny is demanding attention by telling the press "he's tired of" Boston (while admitting they're "tired of" him) and that we would accept a trade. However, the ugly part came Saturday, when he took himself out of the game for mysterious reasons. Some speculate that he didn't feel like facing Joba Chamberlain. Whatever, Manny, you princess.

He's right. They are tired of him; everyone is.

So, go sit in the corner. And take Brett Favre with you. Everyone's tired of him too.
