After dropping out of the Teixeira hunt, the Sox have abruptly changed course, and are reportedly on the verge of welcoming Manny Ramirez back into the fold, overlooking the antics and old man-slappage in favor of his robust 537 career home runs and .411 OBP. This according to a source who wished to remain anonymous but has close ties with the Sox brass.

The details are still being hammered out at this time, but a press conference has been set for…

What’s that?

No, it’s totally true.

Totally.

Kinda.

Or…

I dunno. I just… I just got kinda lonely. And that snow’s piling up. And I’m all out of food… so I figured…

But now that you’re here, why don’t you come in? And sit down for a while, right by the fire. I’m down to the last log, but don’t let that bother you.

Got anything to eat? An emergency roast beef, perhaps, tucked away in your wallet for such dire situations?

Maybe?
