You know, he's not in control of that. There is a manager around. If taking a day off today means he'll play the rest of the way, I'll take it. A manager? Really, what's that? Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot. Come on, if Ramirez wanted to play badly enough today, he would've been in the lineup and you know it. Wow, how ridiculous. Ramirez has told Lou, and the press, on more than one occasion that he doesn't need anymore rest and he'll play everyday. Lou thinks otherwise. It's his call. I'm sure that it was Lou's idea, I'm not doubting that at all. I just wish that our cleanup hitter would convince his manager to not sit him during the most critical month of the season.
