1. I get so annoyed when he doesn't run out (what he thinks is) a homerun
He stood at home admiring that shot when he should have been running. The jerk. (I call him that only cause we did win.)

2. Was it the ALCS he did that last year that caused all the commotion?
I think it was against Cleveland and not the Angels.

4. Manny's pants are so baggy, I wouldn't be surprised if one day he doesn't trip
and bust his ass running the bases. He does have incredible bat speed though. Reminds me in some ways of the first time I saw Hank Aaron play in person back in 1966. I'm setting on row 3 behind the Brave's dugout and Aaron hits a 420-foot line drive over the center field wall. I'm shaking my going, "did I really see that?" The ball never got more than 15 feet off the ground and left the park in about 2 seconds. Who knows how far that ball would have traveled had there not been some grandstands to stop it.

6. Yeah, it's not professional
but sadly, baseball has become a joke, compared to the ethics and professionalism of the 60's and 70's.

3. Quickly turn it to pesos, they'll be worth more soon too.
And if he wants to watch, let him watch.
