The Manny Effect

by Denton on September 3, 2010

The house should be full when Manny rolls in tonight, based on the demand for tickets for the series. Always one to make a grand entrance (or exit), Manny will be bringing his personal barber, “Monster99″ to the show.

“It seems like everywhere I go, people worry about my hair,” Ramirez told ESPN.com. “I just want to go out there and play the game.”

We wouldn’t expect anything less, would we?

Meanwhile, the other Manny didn’t fare so well in his Rockies debut.

If Lackey starts out shit then I'm going to bed. 

*not bothered if Lackey's not*

Hey y'all! I love the MLB app for my phone-I'm listening to Boston radio while driving around in CA. (I'm at a gas station now).

Go Sox!

ALRIGHT!  Great play!

Fake 3rd to 1st, go to 2nd then out at home!

OK, Adrian is willing to help Buch out.  How about the rest of ya?

If I could do that I'd never have to leave home. 

If hes sorry does that mean he can come back and play left for us? 

I'd like that. 

It's a 12 step program & he's one step ahead of Fat Billy.

His comments were a bit pathetic actually.  Every time he admitted he was at fault, he had to add "But it takes a real man to admit he's wrong, right?"   
 
The geezer has issues.

Exactly. A real man would not hit a 60 year old man.... Unless the old coot tried to Beltre him, which I doubt. 

Manny: "It was my fault."

Nice to see him own up.  But Manny, you don't have to tell us all that it takes a real man to apologise.  A real man wouldn't have done all the shit you're apologising for in the first place.

Well Denton, time to take your beating....

There is no doubt that when Manny felt like doing great things, he did. But the fans are not going to boo him for being the straw that stirred the drink. He is being booed because of the times he felt like not giving any effort whatsoever, to wit: 

Forgetting which hamstring was giving him a problem 

Letting the bat sit on his shoulder against the MFY's (and that is unforgivable)

And as the days worn down, he was quite the person to not be around, and that was the players saying it. 

Sorry Denton, he did good, but the baggage he carted around was too heavy. 

Quit Teasing me.

Score some Damn RUNS NOW

If hes sorry does that mean he can come back and play left for us? 

I'd like that. 

this lack of offense thing is getting old.

Yep.

*scoffing at Manny's interview*

I'm still watching although Sid is going to drive me to kill.

is anyone still watching?

me too. even if it is only 7 pm here.

If Lackey starts out shit then I'm going to bed.u00c2u00a0

*not bothered if Lackey's not*

come on John Lackey. please be good tonight.

Been drinking since 11am to celebrate my Horns' first game of the college football season. The Sox defintely killed some of my buzz, though. Nothing that a few sweet tea vodkas won't cure...

I enjoyed Fisk's thoughts on Manny earlier. :-D

what a suck ass game - no hits just a bunch of shit.

I'm gonna go watch 2 football teams beat up on each other.

Let's don't sub any LH batters to face this turd.

Tying run at the plate and ...

Lowracious D!

Bring him home!

Another fake 3rd to 1st, go to 2nd then out

nice job Wake. now PLEASE get some runs Red Sox!

can we JUST get some runs??????????????

Ive got Fisk's autograph on a replica of the Green Monster

Carlton Fisk is Kurt Russell.

Atchison Topeka! Nice play!

been nicer to do that when the bases were loaded

Dude. Where you gonna go. Come get tagged, and I promise I probably won't break any of your ribs. Probably.

Stop letting guys on after two outs.

Get the third out!

Arod fires Boras...Im shocked. really Im Shocked that two assholes didnt continue...maybe there's hope?

how many pitches was he at? he only went 5?

semi-quick hook for Buch?

Three men on before the first out, and we only get one run out of it? Ah, well, it's a start...

Quit Teasing me.

Score some Damn RUNS NOW

VMARTTTTTTTTTTT YOU are UP
