Great article !!! There is no way anyone can read this and say that they did not act exactly the way Bill Simmons describes it...we all did it when Manny came to the Red Sox.His article has it down to the nth degree...real good stuff.It will be very,very interesting around these parts IF the Red Sox do not repeat as WS Champions to see how the fans react...

This is such crap. I don't care WHO anyone wants to claim Yoko'd Manny. HE is still the one who behaved like a classless turd. "There are no excuses in baseball!"
