Lammycat Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I was sitting in a waiting room recently when this phrase came up. (Yes, in Michigan.) The Red Sox fan said "I hate that 'Manny being Manny' shit ... Manny's an asshole. So, 'Manny being Manny' is the same thing as 'Manny's being an asshole.'"I never equate it with the guy being a prick, just a space case. He's a pretty goofy dude. I'll give him some breathing room as long as he keeps being part of the best 3-4 hitting combo in the game. Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Tommy Lasorda didn't want to talk about the allegations from published descriptions of his alleged sexual behavior with a prostitute ? except to deny them. A Dodgers spokeswoman said Lasorda, a special advisor to owner Frank McCourt, won't be punished. The team won't distance itself from him.-- Los Angeles Times Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get this particular scandal. Slow news week, I guess. I'm just finding it difficult to be shocked, outraged, or even slightly interested in this. Seriously. Lurid gossip about Tommy Lasorda? Tommy Lasorda! How is that supposed to sell books?? Link to post Share on other sites

I like the angle the reporter took, though, of going to his good friend for insight rather than trying to unsuccessfully figure Manny out himself and putting out yet another "who is Manny?" article.... I like the fact that he shy's from the limelight. Link to post Share on other sites
