Manny's Honest Opinion

Who cares if the Red Sox lose? I don't and apparently Manny doesn't either.



Actually both of those apathetic opinions are lies. I care if the Red Sox lose because I don't want to continue to see multiple Boston championships. And Manny just is an idiot who doesn't speak to the media for a reason, he doesn't think before he opens his mouth and he says stupid stuff like yesterday. Really there are two ways to look at this, either he just doesn't think before he speaks and obviously cares about winning and losing or Manny is all about himself, explaining his ridiculous celebration on Tuesday, and really would not be at all devastated with losing to the Indians.

Personally I'm just going with he's everything rolled into one a selfish idiot who does care if they lose.

Two Things.

1) I think he said that to relax the young red sox players because they are probably freaking out.

2) This is the way I look at: Manny has produced a lot this post season. I'm sured he'd love to win, but he's doing everything he can. My question is how do you act on friday afternoon before the weekend? Non-productive and probably leave early? Exactly. It's the same thing. It's a job to him and everyone else in baseball. They provide entertainment for a living, its not life or death. He's not going to go home and cry like Susan Waldman. And nothing he said is goign to affect beckett, if anything it relaxes people like pedroia and kelty.

Look at what they did in 04, they watched animal house and hung out with jack. I'd probably do the same thing.

So everyone settle down. It's just a game. And this is just a story because there is nothing else to talk about.

Couple reasons I am ok with his remarks:

1. He's hitting over .500. Would be different if he sucked.

2. He's an idiot. Remember the play a few years back where he was 10 feet from Damon and made a diving catch to grab the cut-off throw meant for the infield?

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
