You truly see the team through tinted glasses, my friend.
Manny overreacted, and there was no defending that, I said that from the start. All I said is that Manny turned away, did NOT see the pitch, heard it hit the catcher's glove somewhere near his head, and apparently assumed the worst.
Side note... I like how I'm not allowed to assume anything, but yet you guys are allowed to assume that the pitch to ARod was intentional...
Manny has a history of acting that way. Boston pitchers have a history, especially in recent years, of hitting the Yankees with pitches as often and as intentionally as possible. Accurate assumptions must of course be based on past trends.
