Can Manny BE Manny Anymore?
I couldn’t help but chuckle when I read the latest comments from Manny Ramirez about possible retirement, his status with the Dodgers and “having fun.” Ned Colletti joined the “Petros & Money” show on KLAC/FOX Sports Radio on Monday afternoon and kind of dismissed the notion of Ramirez’s relocation plans for 2011.
