More Big-Time Manny Love

Yeah, who cares if the Red Sox lose tonight? It's really not a big deal.

But on Wednesday, for reasons known only to himself, Ramirez decided to speak to the media before the Red Sox' optional workout at Jacobs Field. And, well, it must comfort the denizens of Red Sox Nation -- who might be all worked up about facing elimination -- to hear Ramirez's take, which can be boiled down to one thought: It doesn't matter if the Red Sox win or lose.

"Why should we panic?" Ramirez said. " . . . We're just going to go play the game, and move on. If it doesn't happen, so who cares? There's always next year. It's not like the end of the world or something."
