The City of Angels can officially say goodbye to "Mannywood" today. This was news that most Dodger fans were waiting anxiously to hear and now that it's over we can look forward to following Man Ram's crazy antics in the Windy City.
As expected, the Chicago White Sox claimed the 12-time all-star slugger on waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday, hoping his bat can help them make a post-season push.
Chicago began a 10-game road trip to Cleveland, Boston and Detroit on Monday night, although Ramirez is not expected to join the White Sox until Tuesday. They began the day 4 1/2 games behind first-place Minnesota in the AL Central.
The 38-year-old Ramirez returns to the AL after spending parts of three seasons in Los Angeles, a stay that ended on a somewhat sour note. He batted .311 with eight homers and 40 RBIs in 66 games with the Dodgers this season, but was on the disabled list from July 20 to Aug. 20 with a right calf strain. He missed 33 games.
In this Geekweeker's opinion: Not even Manny Ramzirez can save the White Sox from the surging Twins. Minnesota has always been known as a very strong team in September and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
