Manny Ramirez set up some iPod speakers to play his Latin American music of choice and then held court. Among the quotes...
On a report that he and agent Scott Boras wanted last minute to return to Boston in exchange for the $20 million option years being dropped: No, that's false. You're bringing stuff back from Boston. I'm in LA already.
We went to dinner, laid back, and then went back to the hotel.
On the support he got from the left-field pavilion: All the Mexicans, West Wide. *Flashes hand signal*
I was talking to some of the players. I really like it here, man. It's a bunch of great guys. I like the stadium, the atmosphere.
I'm just happy to be alive, that's it.
I feel home already. They received me with open arms. *Hugs Mark Sweeney*
Hey, I already made $160 million. I like it here, you know? I'm looking for peace. I got it here. I'm blessed to be here with a bunch of great guys even if the team is young. I love it.
Over here, it's different, you know? Like after the game, you can go to dinner. Nobody bothers you. In Boston, it was from the stadium to the house. Over here, people see you, they don't make a huge deal. Hey hi, how're you doing, that's it, you move on. Over there, after the game, you go straight home.
I got used to it in Cleveland. It was the same way. You go play the game, you win, move on. You can go to the movies with your family, and everything's fine. I don't got nothing against Boston. It's a different atmosphere. Every city's different. But I'm saying this is what I was looking for.
I think the game is supposed to be fun, man.
Hey man, put (in) a good word (for) me, I want to stay here. I do. The weather's nice. The stadium is beautiful, man.
Like I told you, I want to stay here. At the end of the season, if the Dodgers want me to finish my career here or whatever, we're going to sit down, and we're going to talk.
Time will tell. You got to read a book first so you can judge a person. I just want to play, win and move on. I don't want no more questions about Boston.
