I am a lifelong Yankees fan, but not to the rabid point of some who would find an excuse for such behavior just because he is a Yankee.
And you can count upon my moral support if they attempt to ban you from this thread for this comment. Although, with your newfound godlike powers, you will make short work of that, I have no doubt.  "Manny being Manny" has worn thin with me, and I live 250 miles away from where he primarily does his thing! But if you folks continue to tolerate him for his batting contributions, when his head is on straight, that's fine with me; it's not like a gambling or steroids thing after all. It's just that I go back to a time when players put their teammates ahead of themselves, even if they were the stars of the team. |
Who's doing the banning and stuff? I won't and if you did get barred from the Yankees thread for saying that I'd be upset. Joba doesn't need to do this, he is going to be one of the pitching sensations of the next decade but if he sends Youk to hospital at some point it's going to be that that hangs over him like a sword of Damocles...
It would be nice if we could transplant Manny-hitting into another player (say Lugo!!) - and if we could, to do it just after we'd traded him for another head-screwed on player...
