Hanley Ramirez Is Tired

Angry at being benched Monday night for his lack of hustle, Florida Marlins star shortstop Hanley Ramirez Ramirez, the 2009 NL batting champion, committed a costly error in the second inning of the Marlins' loss to the Diamondbacks. After Tony Abreu's looper dropped near him in short left field, he accidentally kicked the ball about 100 feet toward the left-field corner and loafed after it, allowing two runners to score as Abreu advanced to third. "It's his team. He can do whatever he [expletive] wants," Ramirez, referring to his benching, told reporters Tuesday. The Marlins again play the Diamondbacks on Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET. Ramirez is not in the lineup for the game. Ramirez said he didn't see the need to apologize to the team. "We got a lot of people dogging it after ground balls. They don't apologize," Ramirez told reporters, according to the Palm Beach Post.

I can't stand players who don't hustle in baseball. I know it's a bit of a fake sport as far as athletic ability goes but the one chance you have to use some energy, you dog it down the line and then complain about being called out for it? Give me a break, bro.  And I like Hanley Ramirez. If Florida wants us to take him off their hands then we'll be happy to bring him back to Boston but he needs to grow the fuck up first. He's probably one of the best pure players in the league and I don't wanna see another young talent who can't lead become a joke like Lebron. Yeah, I said it. Lebron is a joke. And Kobe is a criminal. And Dan Donahue's girlfriend is disgusting. These facts are not debatable.
