We weren't surprised to see Manny Ramirez selling a car on eBay, but the news that someone was selling Red Sox manager Terry Francona's chewed gum on eBay thoroughly disgusted us. The fact that people were bidding on it disgusted us even more.

And how are you going to know it's Terry Francona's gum, anyway? That's like selling Britney Spears' Dorito Dust. The seller told the Inside Track that she got it from the dugout after Game 1 of the World Series.

eBay got wise to it and took down the chewing-gum sale. They told the seller that since the gum had some tobacco in it, they took it down. The seller said that tobacco was "intertwined with" the gum. We don't want to know what she did or how close she got to the gum to determine the presence of tobacco.
