    At least Hairston tied the game for his team in the 9th inning when he showboated.

    You don't think Matt Cain would have been just as pissed at Manny?
    Last time I checked, Ramirez did not look at the pitcher, did not look at the Indians and there duggout.

    Unlike Hairston who looked up at Cain.

    What are you talking about?

    I just went back and watched the HR 5 times just to ensure I wasn't remembering it incorrectly.

    He watched the ball fly over the wall then tossed the bat and proceeded to start his trot.

    Not once did he look up at Cain or the Giants dugout.

    And who cares even if he did?

    It seems silly to me that you'd even think that tossing the bat a bit too far is even comparable to the showboating that Manny does where he blatantly stands at home plate and raises his hands.

    Matt Cain was pissed at Hairston for tossing his bat, I'd love to see his reaction to Manny Rameriez.

    (I did remember something wrong, though, Hairston's HR made it 4-1, didn't tie the game. I was thinking of another HR for some reason.)

    Re: Screw Manny Ramirez

    I use to love Manny, but in recent years, I have lost all respect for the man, and last night put me over the edge.


    If he did that for a game winner, I might be able to swallow it more, but the Red Sox were still down 4 runs. That means he plays the game for himself and not his team..

    Manny did not taunt the Indians, he just looked at his HR with his hands up, rememeber this was the 3rd HR in the inning, back to back to back. His team was down 7-0, now they just hit 3 straight HRs, so I dont know why its such a big deal?

    He did the same jesture when he hit the walk off HR off of K-Rod in game 2 of the ALDS, why werent you guys or the media making a big deal about that?

    Re: Screw Manny Ramirez

    Manny was way out of line and I'm positive next year when he faces the Indians he will get one in the back. I hate his type of play and I really hate when players show up pitchers. Whenever Bonds did his little twirl at the plate back in the day, I wanted to puke. Just wanted to say that before someone went off point to try and say I'm a homer

    I loved Manny's comments today when he said he didn't care if they won and that life goes on and there's always next year. That's ****ing loser talk!! There's always a next year? The Red Sox aren't guaranteed the playoffs next year so you're wrong there. Also, Manny might not be a Red Sock next year so again not so sure. Down 3-1 and saying it doesn't matter is being a loser and taking an easy way out.

    Hey, I think Manny is a douchebag for doing it, but I could really care less none-the-less.

    I just find it funny that a guy who said Scott Hairston should be beaned in the head for tossing his bat would defend Manny for showboating after a home run.

    Manny really must not care about winnig, cause he got hosed in the first inning. And to make himself look good again, he knocked his own helmet off while rounding third. hahaha. What a bonehead!!!

    Manny just hit a single off the top of the CF wall.
