Shank, Manny got into your head!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>“Life sure can be hell when you play for the Red Sox.”<BR/><BR/>Sounds like someone asking for anonymity. Kind of like what John Henry stated. I wonder how the Owner would handle daily violations of private life (“They probably wanted something really stupid like an autograph, a handshake, or a moment of your time.”) John Henry would prefer a little restraint shown by fans peering into his personal matters. Why can’t a ballplayer ask for the same?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>“we don't have to remind everyone of the shameful manner in which you quit on your team in order to gain free agency.”<BR/><BR/>That was a Zen of a move wasn’t it? What a brilliant “mind game” maneuver. He even got the “leading sports writer in town” to headline “Adios Amigo!”<BR/><BR/>Shank, get out of the “proverbial” batters box and hustle down the line! Your “mind game” is slow.<BR/><BR/>Stop regurgitating sentimental crap. Stop dishing out factoids that can be easily perused over the net even by a layman. Stop playing with your psyche, it can make you go blind.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Boy you had a tough week, first tooled by the Boss Henry and then schooled by the Professor Manny.<BR/><BR/><BR/>gAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
