Manny Ramirez Is A Thug

Boston Red Sox left-fielder Manny Ramirez physically threw the team's traveling secretary, Jack McCormick, to the ground in Houston Saturday before a game against the Astros after Mccormick informed Ramirez that he may not be able to amass the 16 tickets that he had requested for that night's game. Following his assault on McCormick, 64, the 9-time Silver Slugger Award winner did his best Avon Barksdale impersonation as he menacingly screamed "do your fucking job" at the elderly club executive.

"Whatever happens in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse," Ramirez said before Monday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. "I talked to him and everything is fine. He's going to continue being my friend."

Saturday's incident was the second altercation last month that Ramirez was involved in with a member of the organization that he is employed by. On June the 5th at Fenway Park, Ramirez and first baseman Kevin Youkilis had to be separated from one another after tempers flared between the teammates in the Sox dugout.

Ramirez, a village idiot who is skilled at swinging a wooden bat and striking a leather ball, is often granted a pass with the nauseating phrase "It's just Manny being Manny." The native of Santo Domingo should not be provided such ridiculous leeway in this instance. Manny was just a thug and, if the Red Sox don't reprimand their star, they are just as yellow as he is.
