What's Wrong with Manny Ramirez?

Nothing!!

Lyford does an excellent job of documenting Manny's numbers so far this season and how they really don't deviate much from his career numbers.

Lyfords analysis made me think of these lines from Crash Davis in Bull Durham:
CRASH (drunken, mad)
You know what the difference is between hitting .250 and hitting .300? I got it figured out. (beat) Twenty-five hits a year in 500 at bats is 50 points. Okay? There's 6 months in a season, that's about 25 weeks--you get one extra flare a week--just one--a gork, a ground ball with eyes, a dying quail-- just one more dying quail a week and you're in Yankee Stadium!
Or in this case Fenway Park.
