Manny Ramirez told a bunch of reporters at a news conference after losing game 4 of the ALCS to go down 3-1 in the series, "If we don't do it, we'll come back next year and try again. If it doesn't happen, who cares? There's always next year. It's not the end of the world."
The reaction has been crazy. He also celebrated a solo home run, that merely cut a lead, as though it was a game winning walk off shot. All this has many people in the press up in arms. I had a lot of thoughts on this story. Mostly to do with the fact that the Red Sox have made a bunch of moves for some high dollar players that haven't jack in the post season. And yet Manny has hit .429 with 4 home runs, one of them a series winning walk off, and 11 RBIs. Yet he is going to get heat for saying something after the game.
Dan Wetzel from Yahoo sports said it all a lot better than I could have though. So I will just link to his article. Good stuff.

Well, I think his comment was rude, in any sport. Tomake that for an official comment was asking for trouble. But from what you've told me, he is that guy--he shakes things up, etc. Interesting character.
