Manny still amazes me

"Ex-Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez put his Ritz-Carlton penthouse on the market for $8.5 million yesterday, the same day the slugger inked a $45 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers...

Ramirez, who bought the place in 2001 for $5.8 million, put the penthouse up for sale once before, listing it at $6.9 million in 2005."

So let me get this straight. Manny bought the place in 2001 for 5.8 Million before the housing market collapsed, attempted to re-sell it for 6.9 Mil in 2005, and is now willing to "unload" it for a cool 8.5??

All joking aside, do you think Manny is even aware that the economy is in crisis?

Either he has surrounded himself with complete idiots who tell him just what he wants to hear. Or, he just doesnt give a shit about anything.

I'd like to think it's the latter.
