JUST MANNY BEING MANNY; SHOVES TRAVELING SECRETARY TO THE GROUND

Apparently Boston Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez was inspired by Shawn Chacon's outburst in Houston and decided to take out his frustrations on the Boston Red Sox traveling secretary when denied a request for 16 tickets to a game in Houston...

Manny Ramirez shoved Red Sox traveling secretary Jack McCormick to the ground in an argument over Ramirez' ticket allotment. Several onlookers moved quickly to separate the two.

Ramirez had asked McCormick for 16 tickets for Saturday night's Red Sox-Astros game, an unusually high number for day-of-game. In addition to handling all travel details for clubs, traveling secretaries also take player ticket requests for both home and away games.

When McCormick cautioned Ramirez that he might not be able to fulfill his request, Ramirez responded by shouting: "Just do your job!"

An argument ensued and Ramirez pushed McCormick, sending him to the ground.

Of course the Red Sox handled it with class and dignity and did not discipline Manny as they agreed to wipe off his mouth and kiss his ass with Terry Francona's bald head being used as a buffing device. It's amazing the amount of shine you can get from those things.

I do find this hilarious as Peter Gammon's wet dream of a team now sits in second place behind the Tampa Bay Rays. Of course we will never hear a report about this Manny incident from Gammons because his head and ESPN for that matter is shoved so far up Manny's ass he could give a detailed report on his rectum with more accuracy and facts than a colonoscopy exam. It's this kind of shit (pun intended) that a player like Manny gets away with that makes all the good stable guys like Sidney Ponson and Milton Bradley look bad.
