Has “Manny being Manny” caught up to Sox?

Jul 3rd, 2008 by Bill Burt

We will find out this weekend, with four games in the Bronx, if Manny Ramirez’s pathetic incident with traveling secretary Jack McCormick (he knocked him down in the Red Sox dugout before Saturday’s game in Houston) was a mountain or a molehill.
Thus far, it appears to be Mount Everest.
The Sox have lost five straight since, with the bullpen getting a yoeman’s share of the blame, but something doesn’t appear right, beyond the injuries.
The Sox seem to lack a little life and firepower.
I’m not ready to say for sure because this team has had a penchant for moving on after major follies.
But I will watch this weekend closely.
What do you think?

    I am tired of hearing “it’s Manny being Manny”. What he did to Jack last week was reprehensible. There isn’t enough money in Manny’s deep deep pockets to buy his way out of this. THIS CROSSED THE LINE….. The incident with Yuke in the dugout was one thing, this on the other hand was GROSS and he should be man enough to publicly come out and appologize. I know he issued a statement, but I think that was the cheap way out. We as adults try and teach our kids right from wrong and to teach them to be responsible for thier actions. What kind of a message does he think this is sending to the local youth? Nobody is above reponsability for their actions.
