Manny Being Manny?

You don't hear Manny Ramirez give interviews often, and on Wednesday he helped us understand why. When asked about his team being down 3-1 going into game 5 against a good Cleveland team , Manny responded with, "Why should we panic? We've got a great team." Confident words coming from the perennial all-star. He then continued, "It doesn’t happen, so who cares? There’s always next year. It’s not like it’s the end of the world.”

Who cares??? There's always next year??? Talk about a defeatist attitude...those sound like the consoling words of a coach who just wrapped up a winless Little League season with his star player resembling the fat kid from Goonies. I'm willing to bet John Henry and the rest of the Red Sox brass care, not to mention the millions of Red Sox fans around the nation hoping for another dramatic comeback like they had in 2004 (i just threw up in my mouth re-living that painful loss). But hey, i guess that's just "Manny being Manny", right? Enough with that. From now on when Manny does or says something stupid we need to start saying Manny is an idiot or better yet, Manny is a retard.
