Manny does seem to have a rational and sane view of the world, and he is certainly able to put baseball in its proper perspective. However, nobody wants to hear this. There is nothing rational and sane about sports fandom. As a fan, I need to believe the players care to be able to care myself. I need that illusion. Manny's comment makes it sound as if he doesn't care, and completely destroys that illusion. That's the last thing fans who spend god knows what on tickets, who put up with the traffic to get to a stadium, who devote months to cheer for and follow a team, want to hear. Yes, in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal at all. Nonetheless, I can understand if people get pissed.

I agree with this. It's was an idiotic thing to say with the team in the position they're in right now. I'm o.k. with him thinking whatever it is he thinks but sometimes he doesn't think before he speaks

I think it was a home run, but regardless Manny's asking for a shitstorm... it's one thing to say that losing the series is not the end of the world, but for christ's sake, he should at least PLAY while his team's still in it...

That's what he always does. If that's not playing, I wish JD Lugoco would not play too.

Manny's performance in this postseason has been stellar, no?

It has, for sure. Though as difficult as it is to admit that I agree with the FOX announcers, I'm just amazed that he was only on first after that hit.

 

Granted, I read it as a pop-up when it left the bat...

he's not terribly fast very often.

Why do you agree with them?

 

I'm just saying that even Manny should have been in scoring positon by then. That's all, and it turned out to be a moot point anyway. Leave me alone. I'm in the first stages of a week-long Rockies withdrawal.

 

I'll just be leaving all you freak Red Sox fans alone now.

 

:P
