Manny's call from the Wall
During the sixth-inning pitching change in the Sox-Twins game yesterday afternoon, Manny Ramirez climbed into the Green Monster and could be seen talking on a cell phone as Javier Lopez entered the game in relief of Sox starter Josh Beckett ...

So who do you think Manny was talking to during the break? And how do you think the conversation went?



So Madonna huh?
Look Mah, i'm on TV!
Hello?? Is this the Cask and Flagon?? I would like a table for four. Oh, about 10 minutes from now. The name??? The Ramirez Party. Thanks.
Hey, Theo. It's me... What do you mean "who"? You know, Manny... What this isn't Theo Epstein? Alright, I'll have a large pepperoni and green pepper deep dish then... Address is 4 Yawkey Way... Paying with cash... Half-hour? Alright, sounds good.
"Domino's? You got any of those cool Batman Pizza's yet?"
Manny, " I am the greatest, don't you think?" Person on phone with Manny, "Yes you are the greatest and everyone loves you".
Can you hear me now????????
Yeah, I'd like the Pepperoni, Onions, Green Peppers, and extra cheese, but no anchovies!
Hey Terry, I knocked out the Green Monster scoreboard guy, call the front office and get a new guy down here.
Hola Loco como tu estas?

Manny: Yo David my man, why don't you whip up some of that Mango Salsa for me while you're back there in the clubhouse so I can have a snack between innings. This heat is killin' me out here and I'm starving after having to run out that last ground ball I hit.
Ortiz: Sho' Manny, any-ting for you man. Just make sure dat you keep looking oppie in your next at-bat. Deez guys gots no respect for you. You are a baaaaad maaaan, remember dat.
Manny: I'm just gonna be Manny being Manny man. You know me.

If Wally can try to pick up single women back here, there is no way management will be angry with me for ordering a pizza!

"Hey mon......is this STUBHUB?"
Can someone bring me an empty cup? I really gotta go!!
Hey Chuck...for the last time, I can't get you any of those cushy, comfy NBA logo socks.
Stop trying to mooch off us! How many people are in your fave five anyway??
Hey man, I promise to slow down, we go back out on the road on the 18th .

Yo A-ROD, you know man if you don't want Cynthia anymore just send her over to my place man.

Hey man, I promise to slow down. We go back out on the road on the 18th .
Manny fills in nicely for the missing "O" in "LOST!"
Man, it smells like a toilet back here!
Hi, is this Century 21? I'm thinking about buying this house in Boston. It's got a great view, but the windows need some work.
Manny fills in nicely for the missing "O" in "LOST!"
the funny thing is...no one knows i'm peeing right now!
I dunno man, I just like y'know, turned around and I'm inside a wall .... !
There's a warrant for my arrest for assault? Don't you know I'm above the law? You'll never find me.
Hey yo, how much to install plumbing and a toilet?
Dorothy who? No, the Great and Powerful Oz will NOT see you!
$10,000 is all well and good Mr. Cahill, but with all due respect, $49.56 in interest just does not cut it. What market rates were you using to calculate that?
"Nothing, just watching the game...drinking a Bud."
"Hey Theo...yeah...I can't find my pee cup so I'm gonna let it loose on the wall...you're watching me now? Well I'm peeing right now!"
Yo Papi! Did you see that hot redhead in the front row, just to the right of the Twins' dugout?!?
All right, Jack, I want 20 tickets to the All Star Game or I'm gonna give you the pile driver.
Hi Mom - Having a great day. The Red Sox brass say that they love me so much that I can do everything that my arrogance allows. Thanks for bringing me up knowing how special I am.
"I said, WHERE IS MY $10,000!!!?!!"
The bat I used Sunday night pinch hitting against the yankees was so heavy I could not swing it. I just could not take the pressure. Now I'm back at cozy Fenway and it is light again and I can pretend we are a great team.
Yeah this is the only seat McCormick could get me tonight.
why did he have his phone in the outfield with him?
Hi, C.I.A.? Yeah I was wondering if I could become a spy. No? But I love to play spies, especially with my boy Kevin Youkilis.
Bar-B-Q, hell yeah it is still for sale!
"Can I get some more tape for my wrists?"
Tell LMonstro I'll be ready in 20 minutes to get my dreadlocks pimped up
Hey Jack...they won't let me near you but I can still call....I need 100 tickets for Friday's game.
Hello, Is your refrigerator running?
What are they going to do? Bench me? Not at $19M+ per year.
What section? Okay. What row? Okay...Whoa bro, you're right, she is smokin' hot!
So Cynthia, I hear your single..
It's alright Jack, if you can't get tickets for my family don't worry about it, this view from inside the Green Monster is terrific !!!
Hello, Fenway Smoke Shop?
Do you have Prince Albert in a can?
Ground control to Major Tom....

I can smack down the old geezer, AND make a call on my cel phone during a game.
Who else in the Major's can do that?
COWABUNGA !
Hi, Sweetie, what's for supper? I am HUNGRY!!!!

Hey - the family has just arrived - got any tickets?
"Hello, operator? Could you please connect me to those annoying people behind home plate who are always on their cell phones and waving to the TV cameras? Yes, I'll hold......."
(music)
"Hello?"
"Hello. this is Manny Ramirez. On behalf of all the people who would like to be at the game but can't get tickets, please put your stupid cell phones away, stop waving at the TV cameras, and watch the game. Otherwise, go home now, and give your tickets to the next game to someone who cares."
"Dude. Guess where I am?"
"Hey Theo...yeah...I can't find my pee cup so I'm gonna let it loose on the wall...you're watching me now? Well I'm peeing right now!"
Yeah it is Manny in the Wall . . . I would like to respond to a few things Curt in the Car said . . .
Hello, Dial-a-Clue, can I have one delivered to left field at Fenway, because I'm fresh out .
Hey Jack I have to take a leak and the toilet is clogged in here. Can you get it fixed?... And don't forget that I need 100 tickets for the All-Star game.
I'm not wearing any pants!
Hi, Ace Tickets? I need 16 more seats to Friday nights game. Yeah...yeah...our travelling secretary is pretty lame. How much? Geez Louise you think I'm made of money?
Hello 411? Yeah, can you tell me where my sanity is?
"Listen, I'm in the middle of something right now and can't really speak.... Mom....Mom...MOM! I'll call you later, okay?...Yeah Mom, I love you too."
Hey...Can someone bring me some toilet paper?
"Have they picked up my 2 year option yet, cuz I'm not coming out til they do."
Anger Management, yes this is Manny. I have found my happy place...
Yes...the BBQ has six burners.....the price is negotiable...heck I have had it on the market for over a year....and who knows where I will be next year.
Anybody have any ideas? Is anybody doing anything there?
Left eye, right eye, neither one's any good on its own. I started using them both again yesterday...
"Ya I know, this wall makes a great urinal, so when does the game start???"
Manny: Is this NESN?
NESN: Yes, can I help you
Manny:,..I'm looking for Amanda
Manny: - last name Hugnkiss
Manny: tee-hee, click (hangs up the phone and holds his belly laughing)
yeah ,about that 10,000.00 check do you think we can install a urinal in here
the guys don't appreciate me dropping my pants .
Yeah Tito said something about that there is no "I" in "TEAM" but I never heard that one about there being a "ZERO" in "L [0] ST"
Hey, can i get a large blowout with some good bullpen relief?
Yo Papi, I just found the best hide-and-go-seek spot. Youk won't ever find me here.
Next time, Mariano, I will take at least one swing. I don't know why I even bothered to take my bat to the plate.
Hey Tito...............bring some Charmin out here PRONTO
Sure papi, i would love to sleep over tonight! can i catch this time though?
Hey man - look at me,..yeah it's Manny. I'm in the wall! Look where I am in the wall man,......HAHAHAH - I'm in the hole where it says "balls" ,...yeah that's me.
Does this mean that I have balls or what? hahah
So Theo, what do you think the press will think of this? I know, bunch of idiots that obsess over little things. Anyways, can you get some pastry down in the clubhouse after the game? Um, italian wedding cookies and some cream puffs. And Theo...I want you to go to the bakery to get them. Go now. Good boy.
Hey doc, This chasin' fly balls is for the birds. I need another note saying I can only DH for the rest of the season.
(Thinks to himself). At least I can get a signal back here.
Manny: "Yo, grandma, I think I might have to have you publicly be sick again so I can skip the All-star game. Running so fast on that last ground ball tired me out."
Grandma: "What shall it be, pneumonia or meningitis?"
Yo Barry. You free this weekend?
"Hello Mr. Selig. No, I was not about to change the game score. I just had to take a leak."
Hello?? Hello?? How do you talk on one of these? What is this device and why is it making a weird noise???
...no, i love YOU more......no, i.....
Mister Henry, what did you do with the toilet?
Hi this Manny. ::::::: Jason did the the New York yankees give out enough moustaches to get you into the all star game. Pretty tough when you have to beg to become an allstar.
Hello Joe Horn? I got you beat.

Manny was talking to his bookie look for the over under on the game

Hey, Theo. Get some TP out here pronto!
Yo you got trees?
Hello....league office...I can't take the heat out there, so if I catch a fly in here, is it considered an out?
Manny, "Hey 20,000 we score over 5 runs in the 7th inning"!!! Ortiz, "thats a bet"
Yo you got trees?
Can you hear me now?
Yes, the grill is still for sale.

Hello, Dr. Phil. I'm having a tough time getting along with people lately. What? I'm not on 'roids, I'll slap you in the head dugout style punk............
Yo Obama man you tell Jesse I will cut his nuts off . . . I am a BAD MAN

Hi Mrs. Lugworm. No this isn't Timmy, this is Manny. Yeah, Manny. Your son does a great job working the scoreboard, Mrs. Lugworm. Yes. Yes, that's me on TV. No, he won't get fired, they have no idea. OK, I'm gonna give Timmy the phone back and get back out there. Yeah bye. I love you too. OK, seriously lady I gotta go.
"You have a collect call from Manny Ramirez, will you accept the charges?"
I like chips!
How long before this bum is out of town? He gets paid millions and he can't respect the game. They should hire me. I can talk on my cell phone instead of playing baseball and I'll only charge $9m/yr.
Hey X-Bats? Yeah, I finally used up that shipment of heavy bats. Can you send me the regular weights FEDEX? I'm starting to catch some grief about the slower swing speeds.
"Hey man how's it going? Thats cool, thats cool. I was wondering if you had any of that good stuff left? I need a bag to celebrate after this game, man. Its so hot out...oh crap, ill call you next inning man, gotta go play left field."
