Which would be on his arrogant lazy ass! This CS is goofy. Is he a great hitter? Of course, one of the 2 or 3 best RH in the last 25 yrs. But putting up w/his antics no matter how great he is, must be a pain in the ass on a daily basis. Would I want him on my club YES, would I associate w/him F NO!!!
Pleez, give me a break.
So many people(most all of which are fans of other teams), make Manny out to be such a horrible person, teammate, etc., etc.............when in reality, it is just the opposite from my observations of watching him and from what I've read about him and what his teammates say about him.
The guy takes a piss inside the green monster.............OH MY GOD, HOW TERRIBE.:nopityA:
The guy has a drink in a motel with a visiting player........OH MY GOD, HOW TERRIBLE. :nopityA:
The guy makes a few bonehead plays in the outfield during the course of the season..........OH MY GOD, WHAT A HORRIBLE DEFENSIVE PLAYER HE IS.:nopityA:
The guy stands for 5 seconds and watches a 494 foot homer.........OH MY GOD, WHAT A WAY TO SHOW AN OPPONENT UP.:nopityA:
The guy doesnt get involved in a brawl(as a DH), OH MY GOD, WHAT A BAD TEAMMATE. :nopityA:
Meanwhile, the guy is sitting with two championship rings, has performed in front of more sellout crowds probably than any player(in Clev and Bos), will hit 600+ homers, possibly be the all-time RBI career leader, possibly have hit more grand slams than anyone, probably never taken steroids, never beat up is wife or been in any kind of remotely serious trouble with the law, is known to be one of the most generous players in the game and is well liked by opposing players as much as anyone, and is actually a fairly decent leftfielder through hard work(especially in Fenway), and loves to have fun playing the game and is great entertainment for what is an entertainment product first and foremost, MLB baseball.
As a Red Sox fan, I was delighted when the Bosox acquired Manny.
In closing, thanks for the entertainment Manny and providing the Red Sox with not one, but two championships.
