Manny Being Hammy
Manny Ramirez right hamstring cramped during today's game. I doubt a long plane ride is going to make it feel much better.

Much snarkiness in Boston over Manny's withdrawal. Any other player would get the benefit of the doubt. Manny played in all five games of a long weekend series; maybe his hamstring actually did tighten up.
I realize he's occasionally done something flaky or irresponsible, but this year he's been remarkably durable and consistently productive. He's done so without a good #5 hitter behind him. There are many things wrong with the Red Sox right now, but Manny is not one of them.
