The Manny Ramirez Home Run Stare

[JL21]

11:18: Mark from Philly offers an inspiring defense for Manny's home run preening: "When Manny went deep, my first thought was, 'Quit posing, Manny, we're still down 7-3.' Then it dawned on me that Manny probably had no idea what the score was. In fact, he probably isn't aware that baseball games are determined by which team scores more runs. Manny's only point of differentiation comes when, after hitting a home run, he sees his teammates waiting for him at home plate -- it's at that point he knows it's time to go to the strip club."

My buddy and I at work agree...Manny is like Rain Man...He's a genius hitting a baseball, but always wants to go watch Wapner.

Would that make him Rain Manny?

You're on a roll.

Meh........ it's a game. Let 'em have fun. If you want "honor and integrity", watch the Marines do their jobs, not grown men playing baseball.

I honestly don't know what's up. It's like that game where Yadi hit two homers.

Boston slugger Manny Ramirez says "who cares?" if the Red Sox don't get to the World Series. "It's not like it's the end of the world." But he also says "Why should we panic?" because "we've got a great team."

Is this just Manny being Manny again. What a d-bag.

I need to stick the Manny Ramirez Home Run Stare into my daily life.

After my next classroom lecture, I'm going to throw up my hands to celebrate my brilliance.

Next department meeting, I'll make a comment, then up with the arms.

Too bad my daughter isn't in diapers anymore. Changing her would be a great Manny moment.

I'm adopting this as well.

Calf ropers throw up their hands every time after they're finished. Where's the angst? Why doesn't the calf ever fight back for the roper showing them up?

Yes, a game, but .... a thing called "sportsmanship" comes to mind. Maybe getting off topic a little, but sportsmanship & integrity has degraded some in the NBA, which is why I believe it has lost the luster it once had.

BTW - the calf roping thing in a different post is pretty funny!
