It is an expression that has been used to describe several events throughout the past seven seasons. Whether its disappearing into the Green Monster, cutting off a throw from the outfield, or choosing not to play when the team needs him…Manny Ramirez had a tumultuous career playing for Red Sox Nation.

 

Comcast SportsNet examines the final year for #24 in Boston in "Manny being Manny: The Final Days in Boston". We’ll bring you a recap of the key stories on and off the field, plus exclusive interviews from the baseball experts that followed Manny on a daily basis.

Pass. For what he did for us on the field I'm grateful, but Boston has lived through Manny long enough . We don't need to live through it yet again.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

[Thumper]

Manny who?

[HeadOfSoxNation]

I'll be watching, without question.

 

Manny is a character...that's for sure.

 

I'll be curious if they seek out players for comment.

I guess they didn't expect the Red Sox to be eliminated, huh? Not much in the sense of backup programming.

 

You know, now that I think about it, this was probably very well-planned. They figured the fan base would be pissed that the team got eliminated, and the first thing everyone would jump at is "If Manny was still here....". This would go a long way towards eliminating that sentiment.

Dude, have you ever watched the YES network?

[Cocos Disciples]

Yankee Stadium Memories!

So basically, they will reveal everything that we already know.....in one segment. My view of the segment:

 

Manny wanted an extension.....Sox said no.

Manny wants option years picked up...Sox said no.

Manny fights Youkilis.

Manny beats up old guy.

Manny rolls around in LF looking for ball.

Manny refuses to pinch hit.

Manny refuses hustle to 1B.

Manny refuses to board plane.

Manny wants trade.

Manny gets traded, says he wanted to stay in Boston.

Manny gets traded, plays balls to the wall.

Manny calls LA Mannywood.

Curt Schilling opens mouth.

 

In a nutshell........why would they have a show telling us everything we already know.

for the casual fan whose Sox fandom consists solely of watching the games

So then they should call it:
