Manny being Manny

It seems like he is oblivious, but then again, his attention to detail as a hitter belies that observation.

 

Couldn't you have said the same thing about Rain Man and blackjack?

 

His attention to detail as a hitter has made him nine figures, playing games with the media has made him $0.

Also, when you have the type of post season he has had, he can say anything he wants. If he has Pedroia-like numbers right now, the torches and pitchforks would be out.

 

Cleveland fans have to be, hands-down, the most winning-deprived fanbase in the country. Even Cubs fans can't complain too much (usually because they're so happily hammered) because at least other Chicago teams have brought championships to the city. Plus, you don't continually hear about Cleveland sports fans gripe, bitch & moan about how they haven't won anything, a'la Boston or Philadelphia (fuckabunchapsychopaths).

As far as Manny goes, he may just be the most brain-dead baseball player in the history of the sport & his comments will probably (if not already) be taken way out of context, but his attitude is the kind that you want when in a deep hole. The majority of people tense up when under pressure and invariably fail, whether it's baseball or compiling TPS reports. Ramirez is relaxed, which allows him to keep focused and keep being one of the most-feared clutch hitters in the game. Very few athletes can still perform at high levels when under the gun, but Mindless Manny is helped by the fact that all his brain cells aren't firing: the less you think, the less you worry.






GO INDIANS!

Obviously, you have missed about 1,000 of TSP's whining fanboylooser posts.

 

As LiveStrong and Terrier have noted, Red Sox fans should be commended for gaining 10 points on their IQs this morning and not flipping out over this.

 

Eh, that's just one person. Living in NJ, all you hear about is the constant crying from the north in Boston and the expletive-laced howls from the South in Philly. I doubt Cleveland carries the same amount of melancholly or venom.

 

So does that mean they're on par with Forrest Gump? ;D

 

Almost

 

Keep enjoying your September choke, bitter one.

 

I got over it by playing the Bill Buckner tape.

 

Uh ... are you serious?
