I don't know if you were joking...Nochipperjones...<br /><br />I don't know if you were joking, but the traveling secretary incident last summer was one of the more ridiculous incidents that helped Manny shoot his way out of Boston. Jumping the 60+ year old traveling secretary because he couldn't score Manny a few extra tickets for an upcoming game...one of the teammates leaked it to the media...Manny was real class act.<br /><br />Out here in Boston, the best comments I've heard is that Manny let his dreadlocks grow to cover up his HGH/Steroid-enlarged pumpkin-head.Eric Weinsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09584879315449798212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-73333387445759740432009-05-09T17:37:00.000-07:002009-05-09T17:37:00.000-07:00i just wish this happened while rupert murdoch own...i just wish this happened while rupert murdoch owned the dodgers... talk about schadenfreude city... as a 40-year sox fan, i was one of the few who didn't enjoy manny's antics regardless of the numbers he put up...

They REALLY need the help. Also, thought Manny should donate some serious manhours coaching young kids. Giving back. Humble thyself.

Like Ken said, his overgrown child thing was charming to me, but Curt Shilling says the lack of seriousness was a pain to the pros in the clubhouse. Joking about an error that blows a save for someone irks pitchers, I guess. I defended it all until he slugged the sixty plus travel secretary. Most have been roid rage.<br /><br />I am disappointed in this because of all the reporters and other players, even Schilling, that talked of the work ethic and a hitting machine. It is like he can't accept that his body will eventually not be able to do what it did. It is all ego and not accepting reality.<br /><br />Do you notice that the roids are only making the great natural talents keep playing. They are not making mediocore players into A-Rod. It is really ego or fear of becoming human.<br /><br />I read a Bill Simmons article on ESPN today and he quoted the Chess movie "he is better at playing chess than you will be at anything in your life". That is Manny and hitting.bettydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-90609960072515619712009-05-08T14:26:00.000-07:002009-05-08T14:26:00.000-07:00Keith Olbermann identified the drug by name last n...Keith Olbermann identified the drug by name last night as a female hormone which kick starts the body's natural production of testosterone after a round of steroids. <br /><br />It's meant to mask the steroids.<br /><br />Much more serious than a nutritional supplement.flem snopesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-24086668295304362172009-05-08T08:29:00.000-07:002009-05-08T08:29:00.000-07:00ITEM: Yeah, Manny must have felt terrible about p...ITEM: Yeah, Manny must have felt terrible about playing in Cleveland when the Indians were the best team in the A.L. and went to the World Series.

In the case of Thomas, his source of pride wasn't that he could hit the ball 800 feet, or that he could hit 50-55 homers a season. It was that he had a batting eye like Ted Williams; that he could lay off a pitch that was one-sixteenth of an inch off of his hitting zone.
