David Ortiz was placed on the 15-day DL today. When asked about filling in for Ortiz at DH, the genius of shill himself, Manny Ramirez told the Boston Herald:
"I love DH...I'm pretty sure they're not going to miss my Gold Glove out there [in left]. We're fine. We're going to be fine." (via ESPN.com)
They look superbly alike.
My buddy Goose pointed this out during yesterday's Red Sox game. It brought back fond memories of college when I had the baller cable package (that included Nickelodeon Gas) and got to watch Legends at 4 a.m., cross-eyed drunk.
By the way, the only team worth rooting for on Legends is the blue barracudas. Sure, I had friends who rooted for the green monkeys, the silver snakes...most of these people are in jail.
As it would have it, The Olmec were an ancient Pre-Columbian people living in the tropical lowlands of south-central Mexico, roughly in what are the modern-day states of Veracruz and Tabasco on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. (Via wikipedia).
Make some room in the old vault for that little knowledge nugget.
Ortiz went 0-2 with a walk in the Red Sox 5-1 loss to Oakland this morning. He's still looking for his first hit on the year.
Several classic Olmec quotes from LHT:
The choices are yours, and yours alone!
"Legends of the Hidden Temple!" with your guide, Kirk Fogg!
According to legend, if you drank from the fountain of youth, did you: see the future, become younger - ?
The player that conquers the most countries in sixty seconds, wins!
I bet Fogg still pulls.
