MANNY RAMIREZ looks to be getting back to being MANNY RAMIREZ after serving the 50 game suspension that MLB imposed on him for having a bottle of prescribed estrogen.
Even if MANNY RAMIREZ is planning on going back to the Dominican Republic in the off-season to grow ladytits he is making his presence felt during this season in the field. 9 RBI in 8 games is what’s really hood. But passing JIMMIE FOXX and tying the MICK on the all-time HR list is the official bone gristle.
The Los Angelos Dodgers lead the majors with 55 wins as the first half of the season wraps up tonight. The Boston Red Sox trail the Dodgers in total wins, but leads the American League in victories. How supreme would a Boston vs. L.A. World Series be? Especially since the Celtics and the Lakers are respectively the teams to beat in the Association as well. I’m riding with the Dodgers on this one.
Shouts to my boy Dirty Jerz who is one of the true lifestyle representers on the internets. Def bookmark his page. Fam came through for me last weekend by sending me a box to get me out of my doldrums. I got an unexpected ring at my door and lo and behold it was the postman with a Priority Mail package [ll]. Inside was a dope fitted cap from this spot in the Chi called Leaders 1354.
I’ve been trying figure out how I could splash off with this pair of Dunks I came up on during a previous Sneaker Fiends Unite! NYC tour. Now I just need to see if I can find a 3x tee that rocks these colorways. I’ve got my eye out for something by Mishka. Send me a link if y’all see anything.
There have been so many sneaker releases over the past several weeks. The Nike Swingman ‘Jackie Robinson’ special edition joints are fucking crack. I need to come up on these for sure. My Josh Gibson Dunks and Satchel Paige Air Max 90s would never forgive me if I didn’t put these Jackie Robs into the archive alongside them.
I’m patiently waiting for the Nike Air Trainer Max III ‘Medicine Ball’ retro joints aka the ‘Mookies’ from ‘Do The Right Thing’. This year is the 20th anniversary of that seminal Spike Lee joint and I think Brooklyn will be an important part of the summer celebrations for that film.
I got a message from Sneaker Fiends Unite! DMV Commissioner JaiSlayer that he will be up top on 06.13.09. If anyone else is down to pound the pavement with us just holler. I think we will conclude this SFU NYC tour at AmyRuth’s again. I have a taste for some stick to your ribs grub that all our walking and talking will facilitate.
These Air Max Plus below are so fucking official that I need to see if I can cop these during our tour. The 360 air platform is continually evolving along with the shoes upper which is ‘FlyWired’ out. It looks like this might be one of the strongest, lightest shoes ever made. I’m geeked.
If you are thinking that Doomsday has arrived for me because MANNYWOOD has been accused of cheating to keep his wood good and strong[ll] then you are sorely mistaken. El beisbol is the one who is suffering and so are the fans. No player is bigger than the game, but the game itself is altered. Even in a recession economy there are people paying a monthly mortgage to occupy seats in stadium for only a few hours.
Do those people give a fuck what any player does off the field, as long as it doesn’t hurt their performance when the captains of industry are sitting in those twenty five hundred dollar seats? BARRY, ROGER. ALEX and now MANNY are the best at what they do and if they could do it every single time they put on the uniform wouldn’t that make most fans happier than clams in shit? Did I just get the metaphor fucked the fuck up? You are gotdamn right I did, because beisbol doesn’t have their mind right either.
I wouldn’t mind seeing the economy of the game collapse especially since I always have to read in the papers about how players have ruined beisbol. These sorry sack cokehead sportswriters are total tools of the ownerships that own the daily rags these asshats write for. Players have yet to fuck the game up. Ownership is too busy doing that at every turn. If ALEX RODRIGUEZ wasn’t getting paid $30 million a year do you think the tickets and concessions at the new ballfield in the Bronx would be any cheaper?
There are three elements to sport. 1) The players, 2) The fans, 3) The people that capitalize on the relationship between 1 and 2. How great would beisbol be if there weren’t these overlords that sought to bleed the fans atr every turn for every dollar? The emotional connection from the players and fans of the game is to strong to break. A strike couldn’t do it and neither will steroids. Meanwhile BARRY BONDS, the greatest home run hitter of our generation is retired en situ, and ROGER CLEMENS is one flashback from CHRIS BENOIT’ing his family all because they gave the people what they wanted.
You want to tell me that these guys are overcompensated douchebags and you are prA’li right, but the team owners are sacks of shit 10x bigger than GAY-ROD sucking his own face in a mirror.

If you asked me last year right after the trade of JASON BAY to the Red Sox and MANNY RAMIREZ to the Dodgers I woiuld have told you that the Sox got jobbed. JASON BAY was a serviceable outfielder, but I didn’t believe he was the Yankee killer that RAMIREZ was. Boy, was I wrong. BAY has been lights out against Boston’s most dreaded rival hitting over .500 in the five games played this season with 3 HRs and 10 RBIs.
I love JASON BAY’s swing because it reminds me of MIKE PIAZZA [ll]. That is to say that I think he has the classic two-handed follow through of some of the best right handed hitters. What I am also learning about BAY is that he hasn’t changed his stroke from the one he used while in Pittsburgh.
I owe a bit of an apology to RAFI KAM since I told him that roto-leaguers knew stats but they didn’t know players who had a feel for the game.
As of this moment Boston is in second place in the American League East behind Toronto. That is sure to change before the All-Star game. DAVID ORTIZ has been slumping and the rest of the Red Sox lineup has to get in gear. The teams offense has been primarily BAY and KEVIN YOUKILIS.
I’m sorry I slept on BAY. He may end up being an All-Star in July.
With only less than 15% of the baseball season completed I would give JASON BAY 3.5/5 swimsuit PAM ANDERSON’s.
