Sorry son, we just don't think you're cut out to play with the big boys

I probably got a lot more enjoyment out of this minor transaction than anyone else, but it's still worth reporting: Manny Ramirez was demoted from Triple-A to Single-A ball yesterday. The reasoning behind the move, of course, has nothing at all to do with his play (the Single-A team is like an hour's drive from Los Angeles and the Dodgers want him to be nearby), but still, it's not every day that you see a guy with 533 career home runs not only play in the minor leagues but get downgraded in the minor leagues. That's incredible. Can I get a "Manny Being Manny"?
