Banned from Radio
This is your brain: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. This your brain if you are Manny Ramirez: !!?#@(&%*\X"!?#@(&%*\X*!?@#. The Boston Red Sox superstar's I-quit-I'm-back routine is so overdone that XM Radio morning show host Mark Patrick has threatened to ban Ramirez as subject matter from his program. Ramirez's on-again off-again trade rumors are so numerous and goofy that they no longer have credibility nor news value.
