And it is sad that a good share of people will get on Manny's case about the high-five. Sports is supposed to be serious! Don't you know that's why we have rules?!? Haha.

I love to watch him hit a home run and start unstrapping his gloves before he even leaves the batter's box. Priceless.

Who wants to be embarassed by losing? But to take it as far as some fans do, acting like the world will end if the team doesn't win every game, every championship, every year is pathetic. And I'm glad Manny let it be known that he doesn't stress over that. I would rather see a team struggle, then make it to the top than dominate the whole way out anyway...but that is just my opinion... I believe that players do care wheter they win or lose.

Reggie Jax hitting three did it for me. I had a straw that stirs the drink pinstriped mind after that.

That's an integral belief to sports. But yeah.... Manny is fun now that he's not with Cleveland.

Its still early, and we all know that the Sawx are going to be either 1 or 2 in the AL East, and hopefully the Yankees and their pitching will be there as well.

He was all "get off my lawn" like about Joba Chamberlain getting excited about striking out David Dellucci a few games back. Yanks fan, Mizzo? For some reason I thought you'd be a Phillies guy.

They want athelted to act like they are in a fucking office. It is ridiculous to me. I blame the players union for the crap put on NFL and NBA players with regards to "dress codes" and celebrations. They act like a bunch of children trying to please their parents, instead of like men. I hope one day I can go to a game and see a guy get a sack and start dancing or a WR get a TD and run to the middle of the field and spike the ball. That is fun to me.

Just look at how angry people get with Chad Johnson, who just likes to have fun exactly like Manny. But I wish all athletes would realize they are just playing a game. Manny's comments last year, when they were down to Cleveland in the ALCS rung so true. When he said if they lose, it's no big deal because they can try again next year. People tried to get mad, but all he was speaking was the truth. Could you imagine how much fun we would have as fans attending these games if everyone just had as much fun as he does?

I think baseball is the worst sport with regards to letting the athletes show their enthusiasm for the game. I can’t hate on the guy either.
