Manny Ramirez doesn't buy minor league team dinner after his rehab assignment
In news that clearly won't shock you, Manny Ramirez is a cheap ass prick.
READ MORE:
I love bashing Manny Ramirez, so let's just keep it going.

It is customary for MLB players who spend time rehabbing in the minors to do something for the club when they leave. Usually it's buy a nice dinner spread. Here's what some notable players have done in the past:
  • In 2007, D-Backs pitcher Randy Johnson bought the Visalia Oaks a $3,000 dinner from a “national chain steakhouse.”
  • Roger Clemens refurbished the Lexington Legends clubhouse with “four new black leather couches, two love seats, a 42-inch plasma television, a 20-inch television, a microwave, DVD and a VCR.”   In 2007 Clemens  bought the Tampa Yankees a post-game spread from Outback Steakhouse.
  • Kei Igawa and Hideki Matsui bought the Tampa Yankees a spread from Lee Roy Selman’s.  It’s a barbeque joint.  Yum.
  • Rick Ankiel bought a ping-pong table for a minor league clubhouse.
Guess what Manny did? Nothing.

Word is he also tips 10%. Bad form Manny, bad form.

Given that he was taking female hormones, wouldn't "cheap ass b----" be a more appropriate moniker in the headline?

How else would he be able to afford those supplements and "vitamins" from the local OBGYN?

Here's a fun fact: Mary J. Blige, Tyler Perry, 50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean were also apparently recipients of HCG- human chorionic gonadotropin, now Ms. Blige may have a legitimate reason, the rest?  Well from what I have heard Tyler Perry may also be trying to conceive, if you know what I mean.

OK, now that I've made it off the floor (too funny) I've got a quick question. I've got no real opinion on Manny one way or the other, but I seem to be the only one. We have our own problem child with A-Rod. But why is he so loved (or hated if you're not in Mannywood) by everybody? He just seems like another spoiled athlete to me.

I don't really care about Manny one way or the other either, but I do think he is great for the game and the league.  He is hated now probably by Boston fans for the run-around he engaged in during his last year and a half there.  He is beloved in L.A. because he made baseball meaningful there again.  There's no doubt he is one of the best hitters in the game, and his hairstyle and antics make him a fan favorite as well.  Basically he fits right in down in Hollywood.

As for A-Rod, he's in New York, so he will always get the attention.  However, he doesn't get into any real antics on or off the field, and aside from the PEDs' discovery and apology, he was pretty much viewed as a boy scout who couldn't hit in meaningful games, hence the love or hate attitude towards him as well.

It's funny about today's pro athletes.  In a lot of cases , it seems, they feel entitlement when they should feel appreciation.

I'm sure they were just as glad to be rid of him anyway that they didn't want his gifts.

I think that if you look in to it further you will find that Manny did give the minor league team somethings.
# 5 A reason to hate him even more than they did before
# 4 Manny being Manny
# 3 Where is Manny?
# 2 He gave each of the players there very own Syringe with his signature on it.
# 1 The players will never bid on anything he puts on Ebay again!
