Water is wet, Manny Ramirez involved in clubhouse scrape

By 'Duk

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the latest episode of "That's Just Manny Being Manny!"

In this edition, witness Manny Ramirez's latest controversy as a report in the Providence Journal says he pushed Boston's traveling secretary, Jack McCormick, to the ground after a dispute over his request for 16 tickets in Houston.

Key plot points include the situation escalating with Manny's quick temper ("Just do your job!" he reportedly said), the two being separated by the ever-present "onlookers" and the closed-door apology from Ramirez to McCormick, a mea culpa the Red Sox hope will solve everything until the next installment of TJMBM. 

Post-show discussion opportunities include, "Other than a difference of 505 career homers, how was this attack different from Shawn Chacon's tussle with Ed Wade?" and "Just what would it take for a future Hall of Famer to get bounced from his team?"

    Something in all that Texas pollution causes men to make regrettably aggressive decisions which result only in embarassment for their respective organizations...see: Chacon, Shawn and Bush, George W.

    Manny's a millionaire. He should get his own tickets.

    It's also his job to get beat down when he suggests to manny he might have better luck getting so many tickets if he's asked a day or so in advance.

    Manny can stay! Anyone who tells Kevin Youkilis to stop whining about balls and strikes has earned many years of goodwill in my book.

    Matthew H:
    I agree! "Man-Ram" needs to log on to Stub-Hub and peel off some bills for those tickets! Also, why can't these guys get treated more like baseball players and less like royalty? You shouldn't be able to go around physically attacking people, even if you're "one of the best in the game". It's very "low rent".

    Who cares - The guy probably egged him on and we only get 1/2 the story and media always looking to make Manny look bad. Rather, Mccormick was probably being a jerk about getting Manny the tickets and hey - with his record he's entitled to his 16 tickets in my opinion.
