Yes, to CHB, people who are fans of baseball, (in other words, people whose interest in sports is so strong they fuel the sports news industry and allow him to draw a paycheck and get a platform to write books) are held in the lowest of contempt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1156701854409764002006-08-27T14:04:00.000-04:002006-08-27T14:04:00.000-04:00I didn't see what signal Hale was giving Manny nor...I didn't see what signal Hale was giving Manny nor do I know if Manny didn't expect the throw to go to third or if he just wasn't comfortable sliding there with his bum knee. Bottom line is Manny should have been safe. The ump saw the bobble and then made his call after Beltre controlled it. What a joke! Awful call!<BR/><BR/>Its fun to see CHB get defensive. If that wasn't a rip job how do you explain this: "I think he's a little bit better," manager Terry Francona said when asked about the status of the slugger, who's been plagued with knee and hamstring problems (we think) the last week."<BR/><BR/>"We think". No, CHB, you're not ripping Manny. I'm sure Manny appreciated those first two paragraphs as well, right CHB?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1156698092961642532006-08-27T13:01:00.000-04:002006-08-27T13:01:00.000-04:00All I can come up with is that Manny must have sle...All I can come up with is that Manny must have slept with DeMarlo Hale's wife, because that's the second time in a week that Hale's failure to coach got Manny thrown out (and in hot water with the brain-dead press). Hale's only responsibility on that play is to tell the runner whether or not to slide. He never did.mike_b1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03887169120483500989noreply@blogger.com
