Regarding Vic the Brick’s report

I haven’t heard it, but from what I understand, what he reported was that he had heard the Manny Ramirez signing might get done this week. Well, yeah. It MIGHT get done this week. It also might NOT get done this week. It also might not get done AT ALL. So there you go. All we know at this point is the same thing we all reported on Sunday, that Ned Colletti told us he and Scott Boras had talked more about Manny in the previous seven days than they had in the previous few months. I did check with Ned against this morning, very briefly, and he said there was nothing new. I asked if things were moving backward, and he said, “If things were moving backward, they wouldn’t exist.” I think he was being flippant. I have to believe there has been SOME progress. But there doesn’t appear to be any breaking news at this point.
