It's Just a Shot Away, He's Just One Shot Away!

Yep, I'm channeling my inner Mick Jagger and taking some editorial authority with that witty title there. As many of you no doubt already know, Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez launched the 499th home run of his Hall of Fame-worthy career off Seattle starter Miguel Batista on Tuesday night / Wednesday morning. The three-run blast was Manny's 9th of the season and it's his first round-tripper since May 12th (coincidentally, the very day Julian Tavarez was designated... looks like Manny misses his friend... awwww). The Sox play the next 5 games on the road and then embark on a 9 game home stand, so there's a decent chance we could see Manny hit No. 500 within the friendly confines of Fenway Park.
