It was a weekend of objections, rejections, dejections and ejections around pro baseball.
Manny Ramirez’s final AB in a Dodger uniform being a gem of a rejection, ejected after just one pitch (here’s the VIDEO proof). One pitch! That pretty much sums up his tenure with the Blue Crew.
That sound you hear? That’s just the door hitting Manny in the Fanny. Here’s to keeping Vinny, hopefully Joe Torre, and getting rid of 99 this weekend. The circus has officially left town people.
And they said I was an idiot for calling Manny a clown when he first came to L.A.
You’re right. Manny wasn’t a clown. He was a freaking joke-errrrr.
Guarantee Joe T stays another year now that ManRam got ran. Why do you think he said he’d announced his future plans by next week? Just waiting for the circus to travel to Chicago. Good luck with that one Ozzie (more on Guillen below).

Speaking of psychos, how about the minor league meltdown and ejection of Gary Robinson (VIDEO) of the State College Spikes on Friday night? Pretty classic. Almost as good as Phil Wellman’s from a few years back.
Dude ripped out first base, autographed it, and gave it to a fan. Now that’s fan appreciation.

Then there was Ozzie Guillen’s ejection Sunday, for doing … well, nothing. Watch the video exclusively below on WCBias.com, or download it here (it’s big, so right click it and save it to your desktop).
As you’ll see, Guillen gets ejected despite not even making it halfway out to argue a double play call late in Sunday’s game against the New York Yankees.
Guillen said the heck with it, turning around before reaching the middle of the diamond, but was still run by the first base umpire.
Wow.
Reminds me of the time my Spanish teacher threw me out the moment I walked through her door on the first day of school because of my previous history of being a class clown (takes one to know one, Manny) during her courses. Ask Ryantific, he was there that day.
Well, good to see I’m not alone on the clown front. Here’s to Ozzie, Manny, and Gary, the only ones who get me.
