Top 10 Hanley Ramirez complaints

The Marlins' star shortstop has been benched for the past two days for not hustling, and has been vocal in his criticism of his manager over the affair. But what are the real causes of his upset?

10) Everyone wants him to say sorry when anyone can see that he was jogging as half-heartedly as he could

9) If this had happened as a member of the Red Sox, he'd be leading off SportsCenter and/or all of the cable news networks

8) He's getting more publicity for fighting with his manager than anything else he can do on the field

7) It's hard for him to adjust, seeing as it's been months since a full-scale fire sale

6) Didn't realize that respect was something accorded to guys who take Jeff Loria's money to manage

5) Now he has to pretend to care what Wes Helms thinks, or know who Wes Helms is

4) Can't take the guilt of ruining the year for all of his fantasy owners

3) Sick and tired of being compared to Ernie Banks, and thinks this will prevent that from ever happening again

2) Totally convinced that Dan Uggla gets to go slow after ground balls and on groundouts because he's, like, slow

1) Now that he's on the record for not hustling, knows that he's blown his chance at the Hall of Fame

He should stick to his guns and not apologize - even if that means sitting on the bench for a while.

At least he should stick to his guns through Sunday.
