was in the shower when Jimmy Rollins smacked a game-winning 2-run double in the gap off of Broxton. He didn’t even see the pitch, the hit nor was he there to support his teammate and console him after he gave up the hit like his other teammates did. What a joke Manny Ramirez is. He is such and individual jackass of a player and I am shocked that Joe Torre had no problem with Manny not being on the bench for the end of the game. Torre was quoted as saying “Manny has so much confidence, When we get a lead late in the game, and I’ve taken him out, whether it be for defense or we have a big lead, when we go up to shake hands after the game, he’s in his street clothes.

“So, it’s really nothing different than he’s done before. I don’t think it’s disrespect or anything. He wasn’t going anywhere until the game was over, and we can’t put him back in the game.”

I’m not saying Torre need’s to call out Manny publicly, but at least say it wasn’t “the best idea for Manny to not be on the bench for the end of the game.” C’MON JOE….YOUR BETTER THAN THAT!! At least I thought you were. Now I’m really rooting for the Phillies to make the World Series again.
