Manny Ramierez, the Red Sox huge problem

[whitehousemoron]

Is it me, or are Boston Red Sox fan the most gullable fans in the world? Last week, Manny went on a little bender and basically whined and bitched his way into the bad graces of Sox managment and manager Terry Francona. First, there was the face off with Francona, as Manny thought he was going to be given the day off. Then Trot Nixon got hurt, and Francona wanted Manny to play left field. Manny refused saying that Francona gave him the day off and Manny sat. Then the incident behind the scoreboard when he had to "relieve" himself. Then the talk he wanted out of Boston because of his "privacy issue" That got the Sox fans booing him. Then he sat for two more games.
Then miraculously, Manny had a press conference to clear the air. He said he wanted to stay in Boston, loved the fans and wanted to help the team win another championship. The booing by the fans turned to a standing ovation as Sox fans watched Manny drive in the winning run to sweep the Twins. All was forgiven by the gullable Sox fans because Manny had come through.
I wonder how in the hell the Boston media and the Sox fans can forgive Manny when he trashes both the city and the players? Are you that dumb to realize that Manny is a growing cancer on the team? 3 days ago, Manny was trade bait, now he's the best thing to come along since Yaz!!! Pathetic!!!! There are some on the Sox who give all they have for the team, but Manny is looking out for himself. He's a flop in the outfield, dropping easy fly balls, he doesn't try half the time, he's consumed by his own ego, and most of all, he's not a team player. Yet these fans at the park the other day, gave this man a 5 minute standing ovation. Yes Red Sox fans, you are that gullable, and win the booby prize for not realizing that Manny Ramierez is a great hitter, but leaves a lot to be desired as a man.

1. Are Yankee fans the most bitter and hateful fans in the world?

[whitehousemoron]

4. No were not

But we'll take our 26 championships and have a party, while you take your lousy 5 and have a funeral

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

Must be nice living in the past!

I'll live in today, as reigning World Champs. Take a dirt nap, asshole!

46. "But we'll take our 26 championships and have a party..."

I wish you freakin' Yankee fans would get another "talking point"...we all know that the Yankees have won 26 Championships.

How did they do against Boston in the playoffs last year??
(Choke, cough, cough...choke.)

[Steve Nash is god 13]

3. lol

oh and paragraph indentation is your friend (or mine in this case)

oh and welcome to DU. what a way to make an entrance

[whitehousemoron]

11. I tried paragraph indentation

Doesn't seem to work on my computer

[WeRQ4U]

5. I agree with you. I thought the same thing, but.............

This part is such a crock: (Sorry)

"Yes Red Sox fans, you are that gullable, and win the booby prize for not realizing that Manny Ramierez is a great hitter, but leaves a lot to be desired as a man"

If George Steinbrenner would have had the need for him, he would have shelled out that dough, and the people of New York would have welcomed him with open arms. Like Yankee fans have some higher moral criteria for the players they support? Come on.

P.S. Welcome to DU.

[matcom]

7. lol

that "flop in the outfield" leads the league in assists :D

[whitehousemoron]

8. Look are where he plays

And you'll know why he does. It's about 100 feet from the wall to second place. My grandma could do that.

[matcom]

10. tsk tsk tsk

bitter bitter

you must be REAL fun at parties

[WeRQ4U]

16. I want to respond to that, I really do....

But I haven't a clue what that post is supposed to convey. Sorry.

Are you saying that anyone could play left field? Because it that's what you're saying, then tell me why the Yanks can't find someone to do it on a regular basis. Or are middle infielders always good Left Fielders?

[kick-ass-bob]

29. That's kinda funny.

'cause all sorts of people have a massive amount of trouble playing that wall.

[matcom]

30. DING DING DING DING

WINNAH!

[kick-ass-bob]

32. Maybe the Yankees should do something unique to their park

like making it super easy for left handed hitters to hit home runs.

Oh, wait.....

:crazy:

[WilliamPitt]

9. Scoreboard.

[matcom]

12. would that be the greatest comeback in the HISTORY of baseball?

Mr Pitt?

why yes, yes i believe it would be :D

[WilliamPitt]

15. No

It would be the greatest comeback in the history of sport.

Likewise, the greatest choke in the history of sport.

[Ekirh]

18. YAY

There's the handslap!!! :)

[WilliamPitt]

19. I was waiting for the proper moment

;)

[Ekirh]

13. You post all those

And don't bother showing us the A-Rod first base slap :( for shame. :)

[whitehousemoron]

14. Manny's done it once

Jeter has done it 4 times. Come talk to me when he reaches Jeter

21. UCLA has won 11 NCAA basketball championships....

The won seven in a row, from 1967 through 1973. They were the greatest college basketball power EVER.

But now they suck. What's the difference?

[WilliamPitt]

22. Ditto the Celtics

[HEyHEY]

23. As a human he's a piece of garbage

[WeRQ4U]

24. So are a good percentage of the people in the hall of fame.

They get in on baseball stats, not their emotional quotient.

[HEyHEY]

26. They should get in on stats

[WeRQ4U]

31. Darn right they should.

Which is why I'm still boggled at the santimonious diatribes spewed when talking about Pete Rose.

Ty Cobb is in, and he is known as one of the worst individuals to ever walk this earth. But his stats are sick.

[jackster]

27. look - for red sox fans...

this is just part of the normal season. Except for last year, seems that about once every year Manny gets a wild hair across his a$$ about something - the media goes beserk, the fans waffle and.....

it all dies down when Manny quits "being Manny"

just a year in the life of a red sox fan

Yea, he's a flake - but he's OUR FLAKE and we LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!

[kick-ass-bob]

28. Who the hell is Ramierez?

Is he related to Gonzaliez?
Martiniez?

:shrug:

[KFC]

33. Just fucking with the yankee fans

Talk about gullable. You yankee shitstains can't even see a setup.

34. BREAKING NEWS; Palmerio suspended 10 days for roids

ESPNnews is reporting that Baltimore Orioles player has been suspended 10 days for testing positive for steroids.

[youspeakmylanguage]

35. ROFL. Have you been applauding Giambi lately?

"They kicked dirt on me. They had the gravestone out. But I wasn't going to let that ruin it for me because all I've ever wanted to be was a ballplayer," Giambi said of the negative reaction from fans after his steroid revelations in leaked grand jury testimony.

:rofl:

We'll keep applauding Manny as long as he's a Red Sox and as long as he continues to win us games. You can continue to applaud your stable of overpaid, over-rated prima donnas for as long as you'd like. It's a free country.

[StopTheMorans]

36. at least he's not a steroid-taking soulless cutout like a few

pinstripe-wearing shitheads i could name...

[StopTheMorans]

44. We love Manny, worry about your own. Giambi returns. how?

Embree still stinks but now he looks like every other Yankee clone. Another hairless jerk.

[driver8]

45. Holy shit!! A ballplayer "looking out for himself"!! Now there's

something you don't see every day.

A Yankee fan criticizing Red Sox fans...there's something else you don't see every day!

Are Yankees fans the most annoying fans in professional sports?

I would say "yes".
