Hair, The Comedy


News item: White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf wants Manny Ramirez to trim his flowing dreads.  Chicago has a hair length policy. The team believes that trimmed locks look more "professional."

Isn't that rich? They traded for Manny Ramirez, a guy who tanked on two different teams and they're concerned that his hair looks unprofessional. They employ a manager whose mouth is directly connected to his thoughts without any intervention from his brain, and they're worried about the length of their second baseman's sideburns.

Perhaps Reindsdork was gazing upon the profound complexities of his navel when his general manager voluntarily executed a trade for Manny Ramirez and his trademark hairstyle. Perhaps he was so awed by Ramirez's ability to singe a 95-mph fastball that he failed to notice the player's flowing braids. In any event, the team welcomed Ramirez to the roster. Reinsdorf's next outreach to Ramirez ought to be something in the area of shut the hell up.

The White Sox trail the first place Twins by six games. You want to talk about cutting something, Jerry Reinsdorf? Trim that!
