because I'm watching the playoffs and he's acting like a showboat asshole, hurting his team in the process. it doesn't matter whether I root for the Texas Rangers, I'm going to comment on players who pull this shit, especially if it's in the ALCS.
But you didn't when an Indian did it...so why don't you just say...especially if it's Manny in the ALCS.
I agree with Yisman, Manny has been a prick for years, and any Boston fan who won't admit that, is like a Yankees fan trying to pretend the Yanks don't over pay for players...
WTF? Manny has been pulling it all series, and people are supposed to be up in arms because an Indian did it once? No one has a right to say anything if the Indians do it in return, because Manny has been so classless. Plus, what Martinez did was nothing CLOSE to what Manny did. since this game is over anyway, I really wish someone drills manny. like I said, if you're on the Indians and you've been watching Manny, hell yes you showboat when you hit a homer. unless your pitcher has drilled manny, then maybe not. finally, if anyone was going to say anything about it, it wasn't going to be before you posted, because you posted right after the homer. you do have to give time for a reaction...
schilling is about to deliver, and they switch to someone with a camera taking a picture. good job, FOX
If Dice K can just go 4 innings all out, they can get the ball to Beckett for 2 and finish it up with Okajima and Papelbon.
Wow Yisman, you worry WAAAAY to much about this shit. I seriously don't see how celebrating a home run is that big of a deal. And Manny's was NOT worse than Martinez's, they showed them side by side and Martinez took a lot longer to get around the bases than Manny did. Manny watched it go, then had a normal trot, Martinez watched it and then took his time. I don't have a problem with either. You hit a home run, especially in the playoffs, you have every right to celebrate it anyway you want.
Hopefully they don't use Beckett tomorrow and win. That way he can start Game 1 of the World Series. Obviously you use him if you need to, but hopefully they can stay away from him.
I don't worry about it, but Manny is a frickin' showboat and a flat-out lazy player we're not measuring speed from home plate to home plate here. it's also funny to see red sox fans defend his actions.
You apparently DO worry about it, seeing as you've made like 12 frantic posts about it. And I'm not really defending his actions because I don't think there's anything to defend. Just as I don't think Martinez, or any other player in the history of sports, baseball or otherwise, has done anything wrong with regard to celebrating a play. Some things are stupid to celebrate, like a simple 6 yard catch for a first down on 2nd and 4 or something, but I still don't have a PROBLEM with it. I don't see the point, but I don't care if a player does it.
