MONEYBALLS


Or maybe I should say Mannyballs.

The Oakland A's announced earlier today that they've signed former Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodger Manny Ramirez to a 1-year, $500,000 contract, just $20,000 above league minimum.

The slugger will bring two World Series rings (2004 and 2007) to the aging Oakland Coliseum. He will also bring lots of baggage, including failed drug tests, accusations that he has quit on teams, charges of domestic violence, and an incident in Boston in which he pushed over the team's 64-year-old traveling secretary.

Wow, what a douche bag.

Ramirez will also have to sit out the first 50 games, as part of his punishment for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs.

Okay, way to go, A's.
