Meanwhile David Ortiz who is not the fastest guy in baseball scores from first! Do you think Francona should man up and sit this clown down or eat crow and play him? I know the obvious answer but what would be the right thing to do?

Let's not forget that he didn't even try to slide at the play at home!

When Francona was Managing? the Phillies he was a whimp. He is not going to change. He won't sit him down The right thing to do is sit him but again he has no guts. It was obvious to me the way Manny is. All for his own glory. A Pete Rose would have had at least a double. I say sit him.

If it was the regular season I'd say "Oh Manny". But I'm not laughing anymore. It could have meant the game and the season for that matter. As for the play at the plate he never should have been sent home but he could have at least got down. I'll be surprised if we don't see Manny running harder tomorrow. Someone had to say something.

Did you hear the announcer? "Why is Manny on first base!?" Right before he hit that ball off the wall, the announcer was dogging on him for not running hard out of the box, too.
I am glad you Red Sock fans have to cheer for him and not us, Clevelanders anymore. He is a fat, old has-been who can still somewhat hit. Boston pretty much has two DH's in Ortiz and Manny. They should consider getting rid of one of them.

The Sox should sit him down a game or two.
I really hate the way he stands at the plate waiting for it to go over the wall- and he could have had an easy double buy yet he stands there like a showoff

At least he's actually putting the ball in play and driving in runs unlike $14 million dollar man J.D. Drew and Mr. Automatic Out, Coco Crisp.

Dude, save some of that bitterness for AFTER Boston advances to the World Series and Manny has the 2007 ALCS MVP trophy to further clutter his mantelpiece.
Maybe he'll list it on eBay.

I think he was running hard on both plays, the one at home and the long single. It's just that the 40 pounds of hair really weighs him down. You try running with all that extra weight.
