The Man in El Guapo’s Pants

Manny Ramirez has missed Boston’s last two games due to illness. Suffering from flu-like symptons, he’s been taking antibiotics. And he’s apparently lost weight. But when asked about his baggy uniform pants, Ramirez explained that they had been fitted for rotund reliever Rich Garces. According to the listings, “El Guapo” (the Handsome One, en Español) outweighs Ramirez by forty pounds.

Which brings up the question I’d love to ask: “Manny, how did you put on your pants today?”
