YCMTSU - "Manny Being Manny" version

For those of you who may follow baseball, you may have heard of a player named Manny Ramirez.  Manny plays for the much hated "Evil People" AKA the Boston Red Sox, and unfortunately is one of the best hitters in the game.

The reason for the child savant comment is that even with Manny's amazing hitting ability, he does some things that are inexplicable even to his most loyal fans.  The Boston press, being as relentless as the New York press, have coined the term "Manny Being Manny" to explain these actions.

One of the main themes in Manny's life is his love/hate relationship with the Boston press and the city of Boston.  Like New Yorkers, they are very loyal fans and expect a lot from their players.  And given Manny's salary, the expectations are even higher.  The constant scrutiny from the media in Boston has made Manny decide that he is not going to talk to the press or seek publicity.

I guess things change.  Anyone need a $4000 grill and an autographed Manny Ramirez baseball?

And on that note - Go Yankees!
