Newsday has pronounced the current debacle in LA between Manny Ramirez and Joe Torre over the cutting of Manny's hair for his new team the "Dreadlock Deadlock." I personally think that this headline is beyond terrible, who's in charge over there? I'd like your resignation on my desk in the morning. I hate you Newsday, I hate you. However I do like the idea of a manager telling Manny what to do, because this guy has yet to actually deal with an authority figure his entire life. He's suplexing senior Red Sox employees over tickets and Red Sox Nation forgets about it in under a week. However we're talking about Torre regulating hair length, not adolescent ego in this case, Torre shouldn't be focused on this. I feel like it's something for the fans to enjoy, Johhny Damon with the Geico Caveman look was beloved by the Fenway Faithful and look at Giambi with the mustache this year. Here's a guy who admitted to being on the juicy juice, and soon after he's a fan favorite. Not like he had an option...you compare his Rookie Card to to his picture now followed by a picture of the Koolaid's mascot and you have to start realizing that his head is of FICTIONAL size. This guys a goddam cartoon. His head looks like an orange on a toothpick. It has its own weather system. Anyways...The point is unless Manny's hair is getting in the way of knocking runs in which it is not, ( .475 BA, 850 SLG, 4HR in 10 G) Torre needs to relax. Let the guy skip the barber.
