Manny being Manny, or media being media?
Do you believe Manny is taking games off due to him quitting, being mad at the official scorer, or is this being blown out of proportion? The problem is, if it were Ortiz or Veritek or Youkalis, there would be no doubt. This is Manny so it sounds plausible. I think it's half true. I believe he wanted to sit out of the game against NY due to his being upset, but he is legitimately hurt. If the Bosox were only a hgame or two out of the AL east, he might play. I think he's quitting on his team, and not playing through the pain. He's done it before. Just last year he wanted his day off reguardless of the fact that the Sox had injuries in the outfield. He's a great player, but he's as selfish as they come.

Used to be that I had no feelings about Manny one way or another. I now qualify him right up there with TO. Anyone who disregards the fans in the fashion he did this All-Star game does not deserve to be in the public eye. The sport belongs to the fans, and it is indeed a select few who are good enough to play, but they play because we pay the salary. I didn't hear his excuse, and don't care to. There isn't one good enough. As far as him giving up on the season... Yeah, i can see that, and unfortunately, I think there are too many players who think the way he does.
