An Even Truer Extent to Which Manny Be's Manny

Cell phones are exceedingly convenient. You can use them just about anywhere (though not while driving in New Jersey), and communicate with just about anyone at anytime. Still, some people aren't satisfied.

Take Manny Ramirez, for example. Yesterday's game versus Minnesota contained an apparently long pitching change in the sixth inning. Sometimes this is is an impetus for Manny to relieve himself inside the safety of Fenway's left field wall. Not yesterday though. Yesterday, Manny had a call he had to take (or make, its unclear).

Maybe it had to do with the lost $10K check which bmfs alluded to in yesterday's post. Maybe it was Manny's sick grandmother (this is a favorite excuse - I couldn't link to all the articles about Manny attending to a sick grandmother if I tried). In any case, something important (and funny) needed to be attended to immediately. All I can say is thank God for cell phones.

The Globe obtained visual evidence. Take a gander:
